Basic Configuration#
Your first configuration will look pretty simple:
1configuration:
2 working_directory: '.ytdl-sub-downloads'
3
4presets:
5 TV Show:
6 preset:
7 - "Jellyfin TV Show by Date"
8 - "Only Recent"
9
10 overrides:
11 tv_show_directory: "/ytdl_sub_tv_shows"
The first two lines in this config.yaml file are the configuration, and define the working_directory, which is described near the bottom of this section
Line 4 begins the definition of your custom presets, with line 5 being the name of your first custom preset.
Lines 7 and 8 tell ytdl-sub which Prebuilt Presets to expand on; these presets already indicate that the downloaded files should be:
in a format usable by, and with metadata accessible to, Jellyfin
sorted by upload date, and
only uploaded in the last 2 months (and will also delete any files in the media library which were uploaded over 2 months ago)
Line 11 is an override variable, tv_show_directory, that tells ytdl-sub where to save your downloaded files once they’ve been processed, also known as the output_directory. In this case, the downloaded files will be saved to the youtube folder in the root tv_shows directory.
