Is there any way to get it to use the upload of the video as the air date?
Is there a way I can change the name of your addon so it doesnt mess up my library ? Yours works fine with Series but I have one thats just a web page and it started showing everything as pathname
How can I change the name of your plug in so I can run it parallel with https://github.com/sander1/YouTube-Agent.bundle which worked fine for a single channel?
I’m using yours as TV show on Mostly Walking and Movies for the Funhaus stuff.
youtube-dl set the creation date to the youtube upload date. Will have to add that in…
My agent supports both series and movies.
Can you check which field has the path set in the field, if any? I will modify the source so it doesn’t happen…
To add:
- youtube upload date as air date
- solve path as title in movie libraries (bug to be confirmed)
I just had a look and I can’t find any mention of just that screenshotted path in the XML file for that video. The only place that specific path is, is in the library path setting on the actual library.
I did move from sanders to yours without removing the library
I have a youtube-dl python program I wrote to automatically download videos from an accounts subscription feed when they are posted and then put them in plex. I’m using it successfully in conjunction with Zero-QIs plugin. My program also downloads the channels icon and puts that in plex as the video Poster. I’m not sure if anyone else here would want this if so let me know and I can make it user friendly and slap a REAMDME up. Attached is what my youtube library looks like.
Yes please I would love this!
Would be interested to test this!
This would be amazing!
I made another thread as to not clutter this one anymore
Are playlists limited to 100 episodes or have I messed up?
For people using this agent you may be interested in a patched version of youtube-dl which supports the channel-id tag: https://github.com/ewan2395/youtube-dl/commit/7823e1405bace775ffcef00d63b1947f2f25bd7a
@ krawhitham did you use absolute series scanner? logs?
Yes I used absolute series scanner. I’ll get the logs on Monday.
Little info
If I use playlist id in the youtube.id file it only shows 100 files, if I used the Channel ID is loads them all

How do I get it to use the Youtube name for the title and how to do I get the original air date fixed to the date it was published?

uploading ASS and Youtube Metadata Agent logs in a sec.
Please give me a text copy of the path to a few video files bot showing titles please, if possible alone in their episode number
The channel starts with UUxxxxx which isn’t supported currently. Please include a web link to the channel.
With that I should be able to fix quickly
Channel is https://www.youtube.com/funhaus. I don’t really need it set as a TV show, had it as movies on sanders1 which was fine, as long as it is in the order of air date im happy.
Here are all FunHaus playlists, all starting with PLxxxxx: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCboMX_UNgaPBsUOIgasn3-Q/playlists
Yours starts with UU https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUboMX_UNgaPBsUOIgasn3-Q
It is currently unsupported (Uploaded) but found the following so editing the scanner:
channel IDs
- UC normal ones
- HC automatically generated ones
improving scanner and making sure numbering works in scanner
- UU uploaded
- FL favourite videos
- LP autogenerated channels
- *RD+VideoID Playlists based on a specific video
Please update to latest Absolute Series Scanner version I just uploaded and confirm if all issues are resolved
- if not, attach agent logs after refreshing series metadata. tests shows proper episode numbers now with your playlist
- If all is good, please consider donating (link in readme) as per read-me terms “If you ask for something already answered in the readme, or post scanner issues on the agent page or vice-versa, please donate (will be refered to as the RTFM tax)” and numbering and playlist format was indeed a scanner issue resolved in the scanner, and no logs attached despite clear troubleshooting steps in read-me
I spotted and corrected few issues:
- scanner: another issue causing info for 100 ep only being loaded
- agent: Spotted episodes not getting metadata, all working for me now
- agent: using channel picture as poster now, still downloading first ep screenshot too, just not selected as main poster, not retro-active so current active poster to screenshot will not change upon refresh
Please: - update scanner
- re-scan
- update agent
- update metadata
- report
