[Support] MeTube

[tucansam]

Anyone?  Old version I could copy-and-paste an URL, click the button, and away it goes.  Now, clicking the button adds it to the list, but I have to click the actual download arrow icon to get it to download.

[tucansam]

I see that I have stumped you all.

Anyone knows how to enable mutli-thread downloading ?

 

also if it's possible to enable multi file download in the same time ?

[Construc_]

is there a way to specify additional download parameters, such as:

--write-description

?

the output template is great, but doesn't quite let me do that^, thanks.

the description contains the links to the artists/songs, etc. and this would help greatly 🙏

All the available options are described here : https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L183

 

There is indeed this option:

 

Quote

writedescription:       Write the video description to a .description file

 

The format to use in the docker container template would be to add the following in the "options" field (i.e.: the "Container Variable: YTDL_OPTIONS" variable):

 

"writedescription": true

i have no idea what im doing but i dont think im doing it correctly? im not entirely sure what you meant by `in the "options" field (i.e.: the "Container Variable: YTDL_OPTIONS" variable`, sorry.
i added a variable to the docker container, set its key to `YTDL_OPTIONS`, and tried both `"writedescription": true` and `--write-description` in the value field, to no effect.

where would i go to see what kinds of variables the docker container has? if thats where i should be looking for answers, thanks 🙏

[Opawesome]

You are in the right place 😀. I just think your syntax is wrong. You should probably set the value to:

 

{"writedescription": true}

 

to respect the JSON format requirement (I assumed you had already some options set up with the right format). See https://github.com/alexta69/metube?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-via-environment-variables for the details.

 

It says:

 

Quote

YTDL_OPTIONS: Additional options to pass to youtube-dl, in JSON format. See available options here. They roughly correspond to command-line options, though some do not have exact equivalents here, for example --recode-video has to be specified via postprocessors. Also note that dashes are replaced with underscores. [...]

 

The following example value for YTDL_OPTIONS embeds English subtitles and chapter markers (for videos that have them), and also changes the permissions on the downloaded video and sets the file modification timestamp to the date of when it was downloaded:

environment: - 'YTDL_OPTIONS={"writesubtitles":true,"subtitleslangs":["en","-live_chat"],"updatetime":false,"postprocessors":[{"key":"Exec","exec_cmd":"chmod 0664","when":"after_move"},{"key":"FFmpegEmbedSubtitle","already_have_subtitle":false},{"key":"FFmpegMetadata","add_chapters":true}]}'

Anyone feel like helping someone who has thoroughly confused themselves figure out how to get cookies to work?

 

I just got cookies going after a fair bit of trial and error.

 

I added two entries, one a path for the cookies folder, and the other is an environment variable to specify the YTDL_OPTIONS.

Path:

Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/MeTube/cookies

 

Environment Variable:

Key: YTDL_OPTIONS

Value: {"cookiefile":"/cookies/cookies.txt"}

 

Exported my cookie file from my browser, put it into the correct folder on my server, restarted MeTube and it works.

This youtube link does not work with mp3 download, but it works with online youtube-to-mp3 conversion. Could you please take a look. I'm running latest metube version. Thanks.

Update: I found the cause of error: the filename is too long. I don't know how to solve it because I can't set a customs filename with meTube. Any workaround solution?
Update2: I have changed the "Output Template" parameters from:

%(playlist_title)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s

to

%(title)s.%(ext)s

but meTube still can't convert it successfully. It still reported filename is too long, even the output filename is now less than 100 characters (94 to be exact including spaces). The status bar has some progress and then terminated. I did check the yt-dlp version, it is the latest one, 2024.03.10

I also tried converting it with yt-dlp.exe, same version, on my Win 11 terminal and it converted successfully

Hey,

Glad you're enjoying it!

There's actually a PR being worked on right now (https://github.com/alexta69/metube/pull/73) that adds MP3 support. So hopefully that will be in the master version soon enough. Other features are not planned at the moment from my side, but contributions are welcome, if you want to take a stab at it

Regarding YTDL_OPTIONS, it's specified that it's expected to be in JSON format, so it doesn't look to me that there's any information missing there.

 

Alex
