Project Updates

• This brings various improvements when it comes to download queue management
• In our quest to reduce requests to YT, TA now internally tracks what tabs a given channel has, that’s shorts, streams and videos. Then a subscription rescan only scans the actually available tabs. That defaults to all tabs at first. The actual pages are extracted during the channel metadata refresh task.
  • To trigger the scan of all your subscribed channels you can run this command inside the TA docker container: python manage.py ta_index_channel_tabs.
  • That’s not strictly required as that will eventually get picked up with the refresh task, but helps to take advantage of these improvements immediately.
