best way to ungroup episodes of a playlist

[ecto1a2003]

I'm downloading https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiSdC6Lp8c7PGwbj9Ed0wYMMrz6ZU3rhQ

everything is showing as duplicate of episode 13 due to the playlist title containing the number 13 thoughts?

@ecto1a2003 Please report and close if resolved. Tested pleinty with your library so should be resolved

Massive improvement! doesn't seem like collections are auto generating

still some duplicates, seems to be in same grouping folder but across series, matching on leading number? this is from the bigger library and not the testing one.

Just updated the youtube agent in a new branch if you want to test. It only loads posters when needed and have 200 lines less than before same functions

Need Super Best Friend Play.scanner.log and file list.log to reproduce exactly.

[ecto1a2003]

filelist.txt

doing plexdance , will get log once complete. new agent downloading as well.

[ecto1a2003]

tentative results from plex dance are promising, itll take a while.

That's the problem with grouping folders, every scan need to go over everything while if the series folder is at the library root, the scan is cached and only redone if the folder content changed, making it faster

Keep me posted but worked hard on ass scanner and youtube agent and worked with no error but youtube kinda slow (had coded on youtube agent for a week with no test to clean structure as it was messy). Keep me posted

I'm away from it right now but looks ok. Is there a way to auto generate collections without grouping folders because that's the reason I have them.

[ZeroQI]

I have grouping folders and collections on my test library. Attach HAMA per series logs in agent data folders for a series in a grouping folder with more than one playlist inside...

You are using your own API key? If not, mine is overused. I might remove it from the agent, as it complains by email everytime I submit code changes Need to add a fallback for Playlist access broken or not ? Could use local json file if any to avoid access but would need a copy of one

[ZeroQI]

added support for local playlist file 'Playlist.info.json' created with: youtube-dl.exe -J --dump-single-json https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiSdC6Lp8c7PGwbj9Ed0wYMMrz6ZU3rhQ > Playlist.info.json

[ecto1a2003]

My key was full from the re-add, still have the same duplicate issues once the key reset.

[ecto1a2003]

multiple duplicates still, and episodes form multiple series now adding to wrong series as well. scanning never finishes as my key fills instantly. should i not use grouping folders so the scanning can cache? collections aren't being generated currently anyway.

[ZeroQI]

Just updated master code and readme, and the agent as well, that should be more stable Please use your own API key, you have a lot of videos seemingly, and create Playlist.info.json, as that will prevent API calls for playlists.

[ecto1a2003]

I am using my own key, I've decided to move away from grouping folders so it doesn't pull 10k+ videos everyday. can collections be automatedly generated without them?

I have a lot of playlists as well, will i need to create new playlists files as items are added?

[ZeroQI]

You have the biggest library, that's for sure

• You need scanning proper first before sorting agent issues
• Collections are created for grouping folders currently
• Grouping folders will make subfolders be scanned at every scan, no cache and that is very heavy in your case
• If you did create a playlist files for each playlist, no API call would be done by the scanner but still scan all folders inside grouping folders every scan...
• I would for stability do channel name - /Playlist name [PLxxxxxxx] / title [videoid].ext, and the producer can be used instead of the collection? Or i can add a setting for the collection from the playlist channel?

[ecto1a2003]

A setting to automatically generate collections from channel/producer would be great! I'm looking at scripting the creation and updating of the playlist.info.json files as new content is added to some of the playlist I monitor.

[ecto1a2003]

thoughts on this error for youtube-dl and generating the playist.info.json?

ERROR: Private video Sign in if you've been granted access to this video

[ZeroQI]

It seems you need to be logged in and have right to view the video/playlist as it is set to private https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedl/comments/gsamg0/how_to_download_my_private_videos/

[ecto1a2003]

bummer,

i made a test library and populated the json files, completely empty again.

root.scanner.log Monster_Factory [PLt5zc-HxINkpAr9Ri_qJtzklB9YK2Eunh].filelist.log Monster_Factory [PLt5zc-HxINkpAr9Ri_qJtzklB9YK2Eunh].scanner.log Plex Media Scanner.log

[ecto1a2003]

json files are too big to upload here

[ecto1a2003]

if i remove the playlist json files it starts to show up

[ecto1a2003]

current code combo is working as far as duplicates. no collections but I'm no longer using grouping folders.
