# Documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
## Sponsorblock implementation
|
||||
## Basics:
|
||||
|
||||
Sponsorblock is fully usable with the videos downloaded by this script thanks to [MPV_Sponsorblock](https://github.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock) by [po5 / Eva](https://github.com/po5) since this [issue](https://github.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock/issues/5).
|
||||
- Scripts Type (Archive, Active, Watch...): [Here](docs/Scripts-Type.md)
|
||||
|
||||
To use it you just have to set: `local_pattern = " %[([%a%d%-_]+)].[mw][kpe][v4b]m?$"` in `sponsorblock.lua`. Note that this will send/leak to the Sponsorblock server everything that use this naming including "[CRCs in anime-style naming](https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-YouTube-DL-Archivist-Scripts/issues/1#issuecomment-633000802)".
|
||||
- Content Type (Channels, Playlists, Unique...): [Here](docs/Content-Type.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced:
|
||||
|
||||
## Archive, Active, Watch, Watch on Mobile Devices and Audio Only Scripts?
|
||||
- Sponsorblock implementation: [Here](docs/Sponsorblock.md)
|
||||
|
||||
Downloading and archiving "live" content is complicated, especially because gigabytes of it will be created each day.
|
||||
- Region Restriction: [Here](docs/Region-Restriction.md)
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that I chose to separate the content:
|
||||
|
||||
Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31 of the previous year (included). For example, if the current date is any day between 2021-01-01 and 2021-12-31, everything created up to and including 2020-12-31 will be downloaded. Because YouTube takes time to transcode videos (usually 1 week, maximum 1 month), you may want to avoid running the Archive Scripts too soon into the new year.
|
||||
|
||||
Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1 of the current year (included). For example, if the current date is 2021-02-02, everything created between and during the dates 2021-01-01 and 2021-02-02 will be downloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Watch Script: Script that will download individual videos made by a creator that are not meant to be archived but deleted after being watched (naming scheme: `Uploader - 20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
Watch on Mobile Devices Script: Script that will download individual videos made by a creator that are not meant to be archived but deleted after being watched, in old video and audio format that are support by every mobile devices. (naming scheme: `Uploader - 20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the "Watch Script" and "Watch on Mobile Devices Script" useful for downloading "throwaway" videos. Data normally useful for archivers, such as the thumbnail, are omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio Only Script: Script that will only download audio (or that will extract the audio from videos that contain it) in the best possible quality.
|
||||
|
||||
These dates will need to be incremented every year January 1 and the content created by the active scripts will need to be moved to the archive (including the `archive.log` that will need to be merged).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Channels, Playlists and Unique Scripts?
|
||||
|
||||
Three different type of scripts are included depending of what you want to download, the only thing changing is the naming scheme.
|
||||
|
||||
`Channels` : Made to download everything made by creators (naming scheme: `Uploader/Uploader - 20201231 - Title/Uploader - 20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
`Playlists` : Made to download playlists made by creators (naming scheme: `PlaylistName - Uploader/20201231 - Title/20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
`Unique` : Made to download individual videos made by creators (naming scheme: `Title - Uploader - 20201231/Title - Uploader - 20191231 [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Region-restricted videos?
|
||||
|
||||
`--ignore-errors` and `--download-archive archive.log` will silently skip such videos.
|
||||
|
||||
Using a VPN, switch between US and Germany, and if you follow a specific country's content, also switch to that country (e.g. switch to France if you follow French content).

## Region-restricted videos?
|
||||
|
||||
`--ignore-errors` and `--download-archive archive.log` will silently skip such videos.
|
||||
|
||||
Using a VPN, switch between US and Germany, and if you follow a specific country's content, also switch to that country (e.g. switch to France if you follow French content).

## Archive, Active, Watch, Watch on Mobile Devices and Audio Only Scripts?
|
||||
|
||||
Downloading and archiving "live" content is complicated, especially because gigabytes of it will be created each day.
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that I chose to separate the content:
|
||||
|
||||
Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31 of the previous year (included). For example, if the current date is any day between 2021-01-01 and 2021-12-31, everything created up to and including 2020-12-31 will be downloaded. Because YouTube takes time to transcode videos (usually 1 week, maximum 1 month), you may want to avoid running the Archive Scripts too soon into the new year.
|
||||
|
||||
Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1 of the current year (included). For example, if the current date is 2021-02-02, everything created between and during the dates 2021-01-01 and 2021-02-02 will be downloaded.
|
||||
|
||||
Watch Script: Script that will download individual videos made by a creator that are not meant to be archived but deleted after being watched (naming scheme: `Uploader - 20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
Watch on Mobile Devices Script: Script that will download individual videos made by a creator that are not meant to be archived but deleted after being watched, in old video and audio format that are support by every mobile devices. (naming scheme: `Uploader - 20201231 - Title [VIDEOID].ext`).
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the "Watch Script" and "Watch on Mobile Devices Script" useful for downloading "throwaway" videos. Data normally useful for archivers, such as the thumbnail, are omitted.
|
||||
|
||||
Audio Only Script: Script that will only download audio (or that will extract the audio from videos that contain it) in the best possible quality.
|
||||
|
||||
These dates will need to be incremented every year January 1 and the content created by the active scripts will need to be moved to the archive (including the `archive.log` that will need to be merged).

## Sponsorblock implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Sponsorblock is fully usable with the videos downloaded by this script thanks to [MPV_Sponsorblock](https://github.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock) by [po5 / Eva](https://github.com/po5) since this [issue](https://github.com/po5/mpv_sponsorblock/issues/5).
|
||||
|
||||
To use it you just have to set: `local_pattern = " %[([%a%d%-_]+)].[mw][kpe][v4b]m?$"` in `sponsorblock.lua`. Note that this will send/leak to the Sponsorblock server everything that use this naming including "[CRCs in anime-style naming](https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-YouTube-DL-Archivist-Scripts/issues/1#issuecomment-633000802)".
