If I'm downloading playlist, what should I put in custom download path so it doestn't create folder for every song in playlist, instead just one folder where whole playlist should be downloaded?

/playlists/audio/%(title)s.%(ext)s

Replace the name "audio" with the desired folder name or add a desired folder name after the audio.

/playlists/audio/mixed/%(title)s.%(ext)s

And replace the "mixed" folder name with the folder of your choosing.

And you need to use "Enter custom youtube-dl output" to work.

Do not forget to tick "Download the entire playlist (will ignore youtube-dl errors so it doesn't crash)" else will download one video and stop, then will wait for a channel check until next video download and checks can be from minutes to hours to days , depends on the setup you made.

Whenever I try to enter in a custom path, it just adds my custom path to the default path, it doesn't replace it.

The root path ( mounted folder ) that you did setup in the docker template will not be changed.

No matter what i set the download folder path to be, or what customised path I set, I'm always getting the same error messages in the logs.

I've tried a two different youtube channels but get the same error.

This is the docker settings I have set.

I have tried a few different custom paths in troubleshooting this.

With a /channels/ folder (created and not created)

No channels folder so just /

/Downloads/ but then in the logs it must already prefix Downloads show it was showing up as downloads/downloads/

Adding "Channels" tab to the bug list.

 

This issue is with youtube-dl and latest youtube changes.

I will post back here when "Channels" tab works. There is no workaround for go-auto-yt at the moment.

Im most likley just stupied, but as soon as i try to start this i just get this

It is a bug on this version, it should be fixed on the next version release.

In order to fix it you have to create 3 files and place them in the config directory of the mounted config folder.

Download the attached files and put them in:

/mnt/user/appdata/go-auto-yt/config

Assuming you did not change the config folder of the app in the docker template, if you did then add them in the folder you specified.

channels.json playlists.json videos.json

The database issue has been fixed and the creation of the files is no longer required.

Looks like the gui adds "[ext=any]" which isn't a supported option for youtube-dl

If you remove it from the config it'll just stick in "[ext=]" which of course also breaks

"Any" should just leave out the -f option as youtube-dl defaults to "-f bestvideo+bestaudio/best" which will try to get the best of both and convert them or grab the best if it's missing conversion tools

Does it work for you to download an entire channel using mp4 for video and audio option ?

Are you using a proxy by any chance ?

Nope

I'm able to get the whole channel to download now by choose the quality as MP4, it doesn't work when set to 'Any'. With MP4 selected the videos download in the background but my guess is the 'channel' dosn't get added to the bottom of the gui until all videos are downloaded.

I have noticed that all the videos it does download don't have any audio. Nothing in the logs about it.

I just tried manually within the docker using the same command but changing the 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]' to just 'best'. This downloaded normal like any other time but it included video. I think when choosing the 'bestvideo' option it's just doing video and it may also be missing the audio part and then needing to join the two?

This would be a fantastic tool to use. Thank you for working on this.

 

I tried using it but ran into some errors.

 

I tried the channel download feature and it will only work when selecting MP4. Also when I add a channel I simply get a spinning wheel inside the ADD button and no indication that the channel was added. The downloads folder does get populated with videos as it downloads them though.

 

I did not try the playlist feature.

 

The individual video feature does not work for me. When I change the GUI from Audio Only, the default, to Video and Audio the drop down for format does not change and I am unable to select MP4.
