Date Range for Massive Channels

Open broodslawns opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

Sincere apologies if this has already been addressed, though I looked through all the issues and didn't seem to see anything relevant. Tubesync is a really polished tool and it looks great, does mostly everything except one thing that I believe could be a pretty useful addition which is to limit the sync date for massive channels (thousands of videos) to only specified periods of time (in my case, a couple weeks back from the present).

Use case here is for channels that are podcast-like channels, or news channels, where you don't necessairly want to go back to the beginning of time with them. It's entirely possible this is possible and I overlooked the function, so apologies if that's the case. Appreciate any feedback or assistance.

I looked into supporting number of days when downloading playlists. It doesn't actually work though because the entire playlist is downloaded.

You can limit the number of entries that a source can add to your tasks with MAX_ENTRIES_PROCESSING instead.
