8408ae2 Add support for writing state file
~jshholland pushed to ~jshholland/spektilo git
spektilo is a utility for downloading new videos from YouTube
channels with youtube-dl.
Install by running cargo install --path . from a source checkout.
The project will be uploaded to crates.io when it
is ready for a release. As well as the Rust dependencies handled by
Cargo, you will need to have youtube-dl installed and available on
your $PATH.
You will need to set up a configuration file. By default this is
located at $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/spektilo.toml (usually
$HOME/.config/spektilo.toml), but this can be overriden with the
-c/--config option. A sample configuration file looks like this;
both of the global options (base_dir and timeout) are required.
base_dir = "/home/josh/yt" # must be absolute
# timeout only specifies the timeout (in seconds) for fetching
# the Atom feeds from YouTube, not the actual fetching of videos
# use youtube-dl configuration to control that
timeout = 5

rust = "UCaYhcUwRBNscFNUKTjgPFiA"
MozillaDeveloper = "UCh5UlGiu9d6LegIeUCW4N1w"
For each item name = "id" in the subs table, spektilo will create
a directory called name under base_dir to download new videos into
using youtube-dl. On the first run, it will download all videos
referenced in the Atom feed (this is probably not what you want and
will be fixed Real Soon Now), but on each run it updates a file (in
the base_dir) called .spektilo.state to keep track of successfully
downloaded videos.
