Feature request: one-off video support

Open snarkywolverine opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

I recently discovered this project and it seems perfect; I have been looking for a way to turn a youtube channel into an audio podcast.

However, I'd also love the ability to do a one-off conversion of a single youtube video, without needing a different tool (I have installed this via docker).

Is there any chance of the website adding support for a queueing a single video?

The way it is currently structured, any video needs to be part of a playlist. Channels on YouTube are actually playlists too.

Adding a custom playlist is a useful approach for single videos from multiple uploaders.

TubeSync is not likely to be changed so that Media do not require a Source any time soon.

For downloading a particular URL from a web interface, you may want to use MeTube instead.

I did consider adding a default-one-off sort of magic source at one point which let people add random single videos to just so they would have a directory to download to and a desired resolution etc. and fit into the existing format with some hacking, but didn't get much beyond the pondering in the shower stage.
