Not actually used by the application at the moment, but in the
interest of making this particular file a better representation
of the API, this felt like an easy change that I can take advantage
of later now that I have it.
In order to improve the configurability of the queuefile creation,
which I can't really do when relegating that to a possibly third-party
function with only the video id as argument, I've decided I want to
go all in on the queuefile as the output of ycdl. Actually downloading
the video is best left to another tool designed for the task.
Any third-party downloading function would always introduce the
possibility of network errors and crashes, ruining the call stack
of ycdldb.download_video for no good reason.
Previously, the "add channel" box was just calling refresh, which
implicitly adds the channel. This adds a separate endpoint for
add_channel, and as a bonus the web ui will navigate you to the
channel after it has been loaded.
- Channels and videos are now objects instead of just dictionaries.
- Copied Etiquette's use of cachemanager mixin to cache those objects.
- Copied Etiquette's use of sql_ methods.
- Copied Etiquette's use of namespaced javascript.
- Copied Etiquette's use of config file.
- Redid video_card css to use grid, better on mobile.
- Improved usage of URL parameters with class=merge_class.
- Wrote some actual content on readme.
Previously, when viewing a /videos listing, there was a link
called (Chan) to bring you to the channel page, but since videos
only carried author_id and not author_name it was always kind of
ugly. This will inject that attribute on the way out.
I know, this would be more properly written as an SQL join in the
first place, but my row-dict conversion isn't set up for that and
I'm planning on converting this all to object-based returns instead
of dicts soon.
This makes the page much easier to use on mobile. On desktop I think
the new size may be a little overwhelming but I'll try getting used
to it, and anyway I think it simply makes more sense than the
arbitrary size from earlier.
