I'm really excited for this one. Now you can use Pinchflat to serve content to your favourite podcasting app!

Hi Kieran, I moved to this last week from Tubesync and I think this is a much better implementation with few fewer bugs and so much quicker to use.

I have a couple of questions taht i'm not sure if i'm missing:
1) I have a channel that i'm following / downloading however a couple of episodes were accidentially deleted, is there a way to re-download the missing episodes at all?

2) I have created a playlist on youtube call "Download to Emby" and then I added this into pinchflat, gave it the name "Dad's Watch Later List" and it downloaded everything that was on the list. I've since added a few more videos to that list, but they do not seem to have downloaded, I've manually run the index, but nothing seems to be in the "pending media" tab. Is there a way to get this to get the missing videos - Have I missed it?

Using the multi select tool for you tube you can see there are 211 videos in the list.

Depends how they were deleted. If the media item record was deleted it should automatically get picked up on next index. If the file was deleted but the media item record still exists, you can search for that record and click "Force Download" under the "Actions" menu

That's very strange! It sometimes takes up to 30 minutes for new media to get returned by yt-dlp, but it definitely should've caught up by now.

I see that in the original_url field, the URL ends in ?list= but doesn't actually contain the playlist ID - was that an intentional redaction?

Not a problem, Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes i deleted the file from the server so there would still have been a record for it. I must have missed the action of force download.

I think this is working, but i'll need to double check. Give me a couple of hours to look into it.

This was an intentional redaction. :D

 

Thanks again for coming back to me.

That's actually relatively new, so there's a chance it wasn't there when you first deleted it!

Anyway, if anything else comes up just let me know! I've been working on some cool stuff lately and you can see the recent release notes here
