how to access metedata that is written to info.json

[alan-cugler]

I am trying to parse data from the metadata to use in file naming. For example the default file name for info.json when downloading from youtube is the playlist or video ids. These are great to add to the filename so as to further pull metadata with other programs.

As an example https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle?tab=readme-ov-file can be used on Plex and saving the ids in the file name like such[youtube-#########] is what it needs.

so ideally I would like to know how to access this meta information for dynamically affecting the directory and file naming conventions

example config samples I am trying to develop. The episode_id: "info_json.id" is really where I am stuck at the moment.

presets:
  youtube_to_plex_tv:
    output_options:
      output_directory: "/media/content/show/{show}/Season {season}"

      # This is the preferred naming convention for plex
      file_name: "{show} - s{season}e{episode} - {title} [youtube-{episode_id}].mp4"
      info_json_name: "{output_directory}/{show} - s{season}e{episode} - {title_sanitized_plex}.info.json"

    overrides:
      show: "{playlist_title} [playlist_uid]"
      season: "{upload_year}"
      episode: "{release_day_of_year_padded}"
      episode_id: "info_json.id"

currently getting this error, but I dont think this isnt directly related to my problem.

$ ytdl-sub sub -l debug

[ytdl-sub] static formatters must contain variables that have no dependency to entry variables

Output directory must be static. Put show and season into the file name vars instead of output directory

For accessing info json values, see https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_reference/scripting/index.html#accessing-info-json-fields
