Trying to get reverse indexing working #377

Closed steven1075 closed 1 month ago

steven1075 commented 1 month ago

I am trying to get Pinchflat to download my youtube videos and number the videos based on the upload date so the oldest video is number 1 and the newest is the highest number. How would I accomplish this, I have done so many hours of research with ytdlp and using playlist_index_reversed even playlist_index and I can get nothing to work. It just applies NA to the file and moves on to the next argument. The closest thing I can find is {{static_season__episode_by_index}} but I need the indexing reversed. Is this possible?

Hey there, thanks for the report (:

Unfortunately, this isn't possible in Pinchflat and isn't something that's planned

Alright I figured that might be a very specific use case. I was able to get this accomplished with some creative powershell scripting so it will automatically detect the oldest mp4 and number them and it supports continuing the numbering for new videos. So that looks like it will work perfect with this. Thanks for the reply and keep up the fantastic work!
