youtube dl downloader plugin

niemands edited this page Jan 6, 2021 · 1 revision

This plugin allows you to specify a list of urls, that will be downloaded via the youtube-dl.

Configuration

  • Install the youtube-dl python module via pip install youtube_dl (or pip3 respectively)
  • Edit the download path in {plugins}/yt-dl_downloader/config.ini to a direcotory where the plugin should download into and make sure, that this directory is also in stash's library config

Usage

The workflow consists of two steps:

1. Downloading

Due to the current limitations of stash's plugin system, all urls must be added to the urls.txt in the yt-dl_downloader directory. After adding all urls to said file, use the Download Videos task provided by this plugin. After all videos have been downloaded, an automatic scan should be started. If this is not the case, it must be started manually.

2. Tagging

After all new files have been scanned, the Tag Downloads task can be used to add the title and url to the downloaded scenes automatically. This will also add the "scrape" tag to the scenes, which allows you to bulk scrape all downloaded scenes with the bulk_url_scraper plugin.
