I'm looking for jd to create a folder of the youtube channels name then it saves the package folder of the video to that location.

channel1---Pakagename----files
channel2---Pakagename----files
channel3---Pakagename----files

The closet I can get to this is to create a packagizer rule to grab the name of the channel from the packagename and make it save it to that location. The problem is I have to create a packagizer rule for every channel I add.

I might be able to find another way to orgize it if I can use the filename rules from the youtube plugin in the packagizer but I assume this is not possible.

I guess one more question. Is it possible to have jd make the thumbnail image of a youtube video the thumbnail image of the video file?

Hi,
through dynamic rules, you can of course make one rule to grab any channel name you want and use that as packagename.

Because I cannot know your youtube filename settings, I'am unable to help you without knowing these.
If you use the default YT filename settings, I can help you to create such a rule.

So I'm currently using the YT plugin to set the package name to the channel name. The only problem is when I download multiple videos from that channel all the files (video,audio,subs,etc) are all placed in that same folder and I can't see a way to make them also have a subfolder for each video. I'd be ok with resetting my file name settings if you think you know of a way.

this is how i used todo it with some regex in package customiser, and youtube plugin settings

so plugin settings for youtube, set
packagename to just channel name,
filename as you wish

in the package customiser, set
filename (equals) (.+)\.[a-z0-9]{3,4} and check the regex checkbox
packagename (equals) *
downloadurl (contains) youtube.com/
and then
download path; <jd:orgpackagename:1>/<jd:orgfilename:1>
and packagename you can set back to filename
packagename <jd:orgfilename:1>

gave it a quick test and works.

not sure about using plugin properties for this host due to the way data is kept/used (though it might be possible). I never really looked into it because this rule above worked years prior to them been available .

This works perfectly! Is there a way to have it have all the different files in one folder instead of creating a folder for each file type? Right now it creates a sub package for the video, audio, subtitles, etc. I assume the only way is to set the file names to all be the same. If so it's better than having them all in one folder at least.

Try this:

Customized Packagename pattern in plugin settings:

channelname=*CHANNELNAME*packagename=*VIDEO_NAME*

Packagizer rule:

if : package name : contains : channelname=*packagename=*
set : download directory : <jd:orgpackagename:1>/<jd:orgpackagename:2>
set : package name : <jd:orgpackagename:2>

set : package name : <jd:orgpackagename:2>

PERFECT! Every day I love this program more and more and this community!

Do you know it is possible to have jd make the thumbnail image of a youtube video the thumbnail image of the video file?

Feature currently not available in JD. Should be possible using external tools in eventscritper, but better if it can be implemented natively.

Wait for developers feedback.

This is not planned.

Ok well I'll just download the thumbnails now and look for a tool in the future. Thanks again for the help

Example script to add cover art to YT videos:

/*
Add coverr to YT videos
Trigger required: Package Finished
External program used: mkvtoolnix
*/

var mkvpropedit = "d:/apps/mkvtoolnix/mkvpropedit"; // <- set path to mkvpropedit

package.getDownloadLinks().forEach(function(link) {
    if (link.isFinished() && link.getHost() == "youtube.com") {
        var path = getPath(link.getDownloadPath());
        var ext = path.getExtension();
        var video = ["mkv", "webm"];

        if (video.indexOf(ext) > -1 && path.exists()) {
            var id = link.getProperty("YT_ID");

            link.getPackage().getDownloadLinks().some(function(link2) {
                var id2 = link2.getProperty("YT_ID");

                if (id == id2) {
                    var path2 = getPath(link2.getDownloadPath());
                    var ext2 = getPath(path2).getExtension();

                    if (ext2 == "jpg" && path2.exists()) {
                        var result = callSync(mkvpropedit, path, "--attachment-name", "\"cover\"", "--attachment-mime-type", "\"image/jpeg\"", "--add-attachment", path2);
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            })
        }
    }
})

This script uses 'mkvpropedit' to add cover art to YT videos. YT MP4 vidoes are not in matroska container format, so, to add cover art those videos, you will need to convert them to matroska container format first (can use mkvmerge in same script), or use some other external program (in the script, instead of mkvpropedit) which supports all container formats .

Sweet. I will try this out sometime tomorrow when I'm free.
