YouTube-do vs. yt-dlp #32

Open koalix opened 2 years ago

koalix commented 2 years ago

Just found the project, thanks to Reddit and, before investing my time on it and spreading the word, I would love to know if there is any plans to migrate from YouTube-dl to yt-dlp.

I do this question because I’ve been caught on several problems with the lack of updates over the last months on YouTube-dl with some supported sites. I had to change my solution to use yt-dlr and actually be able to gather some videos with the quality I wanted.

Hi @koalix, thanks for posting your questions. As luck has it I have had a little time (the first in over a year) to work on this. The dev branch has the changes you requested. If you are willing to use the dev container on docker hub. There is a breaking change to take note of though in the config yml about regex. If its your first time using it, it shouldn't be a problem but please Read the read me on dev vs main if you are to use it. Currently it's in testing and works for me but you may come across a scenario I haven't tested yet. If you do, raise a new issue and I will look at it.

It needs to be tested in a docker container (long story; running app/sonarr_youtubedl.py directly), but I opened PR #36 to switch in yt-dlp for youtube-dl on main. Works surprisingly well!
