[FR] Ability to manipulate plot/description
I'd just like to preface this request with the fact that this app is fantastic. It does all of the things something like ytdl-sub does, but with a lovely UI which makes it so much easier to add/track my shows.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My main use case for this is to download channels and watch them on my media center(s). These are a combination of Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi (using the Jellyfin integration).
One issue I see with Plex and Jellyfin native clients in particular is very large plots/descriptions. In the mobile apps they can make it almost impossible to scroll effectively as they take up too much space.
Here's an example of an episode shown in the Jellyfin web client on a 1440p desktop screen:
And here's the same episode on my phone:
As you can see the massive plot just makes navigation so unwieldy.
Describe the solution you'd like If possible I'd like to be able to define on a per-source or per-profile basis, a regex or some functionality that allows me to extract only part of a plot/description. This way I can control how much description is embedded and make it much easier to navigate the various media players.
In other similar apps I can define this in some ways like:
Which allows me to exclude the description,
or
Which splits it at a certain string.
Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively even just a toggle to not store the plot/description would work.
Again, thanks for the awesome app!
Hey there! Thanks for the report. Sorry for the delay, I was camping without cell service for a few days (:
This is an interesting idea. I don't have an immediate solution for you but I'll keep this issue open and look into it once I get some free time!
I've looked into this and I don't think there's a good way to implement this in-app, but I found a nice enough workaround!
Essentially, you can follow this guide and add the following to your base-config.txt:
--replace-in-metadata "description" "Brought to you by[\s\S]*" ""
Let me know if that works!
I've tested this out locally and it seems to work! Closing this issue for now but please let me know if you see any issues 🤙
Sorry I forgot to reply with confirmation! Yeah happy for this to be closed, being able to expose the extra parameters for yt-dlp on a per-souce basis solves the issue for me, thanks 👍
