NAME

yt-dlp-timestamp - Download video with yt-dlp, prefix filename with upload date

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of yt-dlp-timestamp (from Perl distribution App-YtDlpUtils), released on 2024-07-09.

SYNOPSIS

% yt-dlp-timestamp https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtPAJr1ysd5yGIyiSFuh0mIL

DESCRIPTION

This is a wrapper for yt-dlp which does the following:

  • add upload date prefix (YYYYMMDD) to the filename

    The wrapper adds this option: C -o '%(upload_date)s-%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'

    So instead of the default '%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s' filename pattern like these:

    Introduction to Astronomy: Crash Course Astronomy #1-0rHUDWjR5gg.mp4
    Naked Eye Observations: Crash Course Astronomy #2-L-Wtlev6suc.mp4
    Cycles in the Sky: Crash Course Astronomy #3-01QWC-rZcfE.mp4
    ...

    you get:

    20150115-Introduction to Astronomy: Crash Course Astronomy #1-0rHUDWjR5gg.mp4
    20150122-Naked Eye Observations: Crash Course Astronomy #2-L-Wtlev6suc.mp4
    20150129-Cycles in the Sky: Crash Course Astronomy #3-01QWC-rZcfE.mp4

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
