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.
- 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.
- Download / Ignore on multiple videos is batched into a single
request, like it should have been all along.
- Text box at the top of the page lets you search for terms live
instead of loading various ?q urls.
- Doing a force refresh will actually update the metadata of old
videos instead of skipping them.
- Add thumbnails to the card (dynamically loaded)
- Add button for embedding the video
- Store video duration in db (use update script)
- Separate links for filter views with and without query.
