Question

Is it possible to have the specify playlist and custom commands work together?

[JunkFood02]

Which command option do you want to use? Btw, all of the download functions can be done with custom commands, so you can download a playlist with a specific command without any GUI options

This is my custom command -o "%(extractor)s/%(uploader)s/%(title)s - %(id)s.%(ext)s"

Yes, but I believe it would be preferable to have an option to make the GUI option always appear even when using custom commands, as it is inefficient to constantly change the custom commands given that this app is, as stated, a GUI for yt-dlp.

If you're using the latest version v1.0.2, you can specify a prefix for the output -o in the "Download directory" settings

The GUI setting doesn't simply add several lines into the commands. In the normal download mode using GUI options, Seal scans the files into the system media library, extracts and stores the info from videos, so you can manage them on the Downloads page.

In the next releases, we plan to implement the feature of command templates management in the app.

This solved my problem, but it appears that playlist selection is broken, for example, if I set the start value to 1 and the end value to 5, it downloaded the first video but the progress bar remained at 1/5 and continued downloading everything instead of the one I set as the end value.

Could you please provide the link to the playlist for testing?

Every Redgifs user, it's strange because it works on 1.0.0, which I had before updating to 1.0.2.

[JunkFood02]

Reproduced, it's a site-specific bug with v1.0.2 and will get fixed in the next version.

*Use v1.0.0 for a temporary workaround

Thanks!

Yeah and using the custom commands --playlist-start and end

Also, as a suggestion for the custom subdirectory, it should be possible to override the file's default naming because if i put %(uploader)s/%(title)s(%(id)s).%(ext)s on the path template, the output filename is really messy for example like this "Bikini Nostalgia Swimsuit Tanned (kindheartedreasonableauk).mp4Bikini Nostalgia Swimsuit Tanned-1134759176.mp4"

The first is the path template's output, and the second is the app's default output.

The custom subdirectory is only used for directory tho. The filename template currently is %(title).60s.%(ext)s and cannot be modified due to some filename control and operations. If you really need the id field to appear in filenames, using %(uploader)s/%(id)s is just fine

That makes sense; if only custom commands and playlist selection could work together like custom subdirectory, it would be ideal because the GUI playlist selection knows how many videos the user or playlist has.

If you really need the id field to appear in filenames, using %(uploader)s/%(id)s is just fine

Yeah but the id will always be at the start of the filename

The GUI setting doesn't simply add several lines into the commands. In the normal download mode using GUI options, Seal scans the files into the system media library, extracts and stores the info from videos, so you can manage them on the Downloads page.

Currently, these features heavily depend on the filename controlling and limited options, modifying file names or introducing new features may cause errors in these features(like the one you experienced in v1.0.2). Thus, mixing custom commands with the GUI options could bring tons of corner cases and bugs, which I really don't want to deal with. 😌

[K4Z3R0]

That's unfortunate, but thanks anyway.

Fixed in v1.0.3
