Thanks for making this program!

Quick question. In the progress tab when I download the entire database it often says 1/1 for many playlists/channels. The circled list has 300 + videos on it. Is this expected behavior?

Without knowing the URL of the playlist(s), I can't tell you. Make sure you have updated yt-dlp (Operations > Update yt-dlp) because video websites change frequently.

Yep it is updated.
A Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/polish7340
The Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzIUZKHPb1HZprXGNm-8Hk_1uqA5OpuPD
To clarify new videos still download hence why it is a question. Just wanted to know if it is supposed to happen or if I have some setting wrong or something.

The 25/29 numbers are updated from two sources:

  1. The video's metadata, if you're downloading it. Edit > General download options... > Files > Write/move > Write video's description to a .description file
  2. This message, which should be visible in the Output tab:

[download] Downloading video 25 of 29

If you like, you can check the Output tab, and see if that message appears, or not.

The numbers are used to update the display in the Progress tab. They aren't used to update Tartube's database. As you say, even when the count is stuck at 1/1, the videos should still download, and they should be added to Tartube's database.

I am seeing the right numbers, but I am probably using a different set of yt-dlp download options.

If the 1/1 is disconcerting, you can enable downloading the video's metadata, as described above. If you don't want the metadata files cluttering up your hard drive, you can disable keeping them in the Keep tab.

By the way, you are using the wrong URL for your channel. In YouTube, you should select the Videos tab, and use that URL:

fire dept

If you forget, yt-dlp might start downloading videos from other channels/playlists.

In v2.4.190 the 1/1 problem should be fixed; you should only see it if the channel/playlist really contains only one video.

The update is only available from git/pypi at the moment.
