Index update

This update will make changes to the Elasticsearch index storing the videos ta_video and will create a new index called ta_playlist that will contain the playlists. This should be automatic at startup and even for big archives shouldn’t take more than 1 min. Tube Archivist will automatically make a backup of the index before starting that process.

Added

  • Playlist support: Subscribe to playlists, add videos to the queue with “Rescan subscriptions” button from downloads page, described here
  • Playlist support: Find and index playlists from selected channels from the channel detail page, described here
  • Playlist navigation at the bottom of the video page for videos part of a playlist.
  • Added original youtube link to video, channel detail and playlist detail page if the link is still available, #81
  • Added subscribe button directly to the channel and playlist, #81
  • Added delete download queue button to the downloads page, #85
  • Added a note about disk usage on the readme, #91

Changed

  • Changed thumbnail extraction with --check-format to make sure the thumbnail trying to download is available, #83
  • Changed format selection with using --check-format option to make sure the stream selected by yt-dlp is actually available, #90
    • Sadly both these changes will slow down adding videos to the download queue but will improve reliability…
  • Refactoring and performance improvements for index scanning.

Fixed

  • Fixing very silly youtu.be extractor error, #40
  • Fixing adding KB/s unit back to settings page, #87
  • Fixing indexing and downloading multi feed videos.
