add handling for artist names in video titles? #1

Open UltimateRiff opened 4 months ago

a lot of channels (both labels and artists) will include the artist name in the title. there's no standard to my knowledge, but I think it's more common to have the artist first [artist name] - [track name]. that said, this isn't always the case, so I don't know if it's worth adding... cases like stupid horse - official video or VIBE - UR MOOM REMIX (made up for examples, but I have seen cases like these)

some example channels, a mix of artists and labels

One thing I can do is check if the title is in [artist_name] - [recording_name] form, then check if the extracted artist name equals the channel name.

For the other cases, I would need some sort of toggle mode for whether to use the channel name or try using the title, but not sure how I can do it without bloating the UI

here's a counterexample tho, which might throw a monkey into a wrench

it'd be easy to detect if the artist name is also the channel name, but not always possible (for labels or artists with multiple aliases)

that said, it's farily easy to clean up this data, especially since there's no consistency... (i.e. it's easier to clean the raw data than to fix incorrectly cleaned data in my experience)

One thing I can do is maybe a overlay window that allow choosing between multiple parsing, but not sure if it's worth it
