The list of suggestion

[arbdevml]

Hello. First of all very big thank you for this project.
What do you think about these:

1. Add a date picker to download videos from the channel by specific date range,
   --datebefore DATE Download only videos uploaded on or before
   this date. The date formats accepted is the
   same as --date
   --dateafter DATE Download only videos uploaded on or after
   this date.

2. Add embed-thumbnail to the video file,
   --embed-thumbnail Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art.

3. Write comment of the video,
   --write-comments

4. Add comment viewer,

5. Write a video description of the video,
   --write-description Write video description to a .description file.

6. Download subtitles of the video,
   Select the language and download the srt file of the subtitle.

7. Download the channel or playlist.

8. Automatically download more the new videos from channel or playlist,
   (Can be implemented using CRON and API request).

9. Add Nginx reverse proxy config example.

10. Add example integration with Authelia.

11. Create a download template. Save the download argument to reuse.

12. Ability to download mp4, add drop-down list with video formats,
    480p
    bestvideo[height<=480][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=480][ext=mp4]
    720p
    bestvideo[height<=720][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=720][ext=mp4]
    1080p
    bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=1080][ext=mp4]
    4k
    bestvideo[height<=2160][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=2160][ext=mp4]
    8k
    bestvideo[height<=4320][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=4320][ext=mp4]

Thank you very much for your answers.

In order I can implement in the immediate:

• Write comment of the video (3)
• Add Nginx reverse proxy config example (9)
• Videos subtitles (6)
• CRON based download (8)

Playlist / Channel support requires a little more work than the expected 🤠
Authelia support: I have to study its architecture first since it's the first time that i hear about it.

Could you please explain more about nr. 2?

P.S. sorry for the late response, as I wrote on another issue, I've been a little overworked.

2. Add embed-thumbnail to the video file,
   --embed-thumbnail Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art.
   Thumbnail - video preview.

3. Create a download template. Save the download argument to reuse.
   Example of a template:
   yt-dlp -f
   'bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=1080][ext=mp4]'
   --merge-output-format mp4
   --write-comments
   --write-description
   --write-info-json
   --mtime
   --continue
   --write-thumbnail
   --embed-thumbnail
   --embed-chapters
   --embed-metadata
   --batch-file \

-a, --batch-file FILE File containing URLs to download ("-" for
stdin), one URL per line. Lines starting
with "#", ";" or "]" are considered as
comments and ignored
--date DATE Download only videos uploaded on this date.
The date can be "YYYYMMDD" or in the format
[now|today|yesterday][-N[day|week|month|year]].
E.g. "--date today-2weeks" downloads only
videos uploaded on the same day two weeks ago
--datebefore DATE Download only videos uploaded on or before
this date. The date formats accepted is the
same as --date
--dateafter DATE Download only videos uploaded on or after
this date. The date formats accepted is the
same as --date

Thank you for your reply. What do you think about implementing a download template?

2. Add embed-thumbnail to the video file,
   --embed-thumbnail Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art.
   Thumbnail - video preview.

   3. Create a download template. Save the download argument to reuse.
      Example of a template:
      yt-dlp -f
      'bestvideo[height<=1080][ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=1080][ext=mp4]'
      --merge-output-format mp4
      --write-comments
      --write-description
      --write-info-json
      --mtime
      --continue
      --write-thumbnail
      --embed-thumbnail
      --embed-chapters
      --embed-metadata
      --batch-file
      ....

In fact, it would be useful to be able to save the ARGUMENTS of the order, as arbdevml suggests.
example: --add-metadata --embed-thumbnail

ARGUMENT add a line (text zone inside the option) :
Enable custom yt-dlp args (great power = great responsabilities) : [ --add-metadata --embed-thumbnail xxxxx --BBBB etc ]
Button = [SAVE OPTION by Default ]

Merci pour ton travail :) ....

Tks a lot

Yeah premade templates would be great, so I could save a template for video one for audio and then while entering the link just select one of my templates or enter custom...

In addition to Authelia, what about Authentik ?
Authentik is more GUI based, supports a lot more methods of signing in, i guess it fits better
