Channel Tags, Tags Directory

What's Changed

Channels

• Channels can have one tag. Channels are moved into a Tag directory for easy browsing using the files directly. For example, videos/WROLPi may be tagged with RPi and moved to videos/RPi/WROLPi
• Channels can be moved to any custom directory.
• Channels can have multiple Downloads, managed on each Channel's page.

Configs

• Configs can be manually saved and imported. Configs will not be overwritten if they failed to import. This prevents potential data loss.
• Configs are saved using background threads to speed up user UI and ensure data is written completely.

Status/Settings

• Top processes are displayed on Status Page.
• Hotspot will not overwrite wlan device if it is already in use. This is to allow the WROLPi to not drop a connection to the Wi-Fi it uses for the internet.
• Navbar color can be changed in Settings.
• Special download directories can be configured (archive/videos/zims/maps). Videos are typically downloaded to videos/%(channel_tag)s/%(channel_name)s, but this can be changed to any directory the maintainer needs.

Tags

• A new "tags" directory will automatically be managed by WROLPi. This allows you to browse your tagged files even without the WROLPi UI.

Other

• Directory search has been reworked to allow easier creation of new directories.
• Video comments are sorted by timestamp under each parent comment.
• Increased help.sh script tests to help the maintainer narrow down issues.
• New MOTD encourages maintainer to finish WROLPi setup, also points to help script and docs.
• Updated yt-dlp version.
