Multiple URLs in Subscription

[lizaoreo]

Working on downloading some music to play in the background with Plex. I'm using the sample music config and subscriptions from the example section in the repo (though now that appears to have disappeared?). I got it working good with my test video, a single video with chapters for the different tracks. Then I went to add a second sub to the sub file. But this time I have several videos from a channel, no playlist, that I'm trying to add. I've tried different ways of formatting the URLs, but it always gives me an error that it wants a single string and not an array. Do I have to make a separate subscription entry for each video or is there something I'm missing?

This is the sub code:

relaxing_sounds_kitchokudo:
  preset: "albums_from_chapters"
#  # Explicitly set the URL, track artist, and genre.
#  # Override various track properties using the regex variables we extracted.
  overrides:
    url: ["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw34FQUIu3I", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw34FQUIu3I", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAl7q9dHGwY"]
    track_artist: "Relaxing Sounds Kitchokudo"
    track_genre: "Piano; Instrumental; Game; Rain; Jazz"
    track_title: "{chapter_title}"

And this is the config:

configuration:
  working_directory: '.ytdl-sub-downloads'
  umask: "002"

presets:
  base:
    output_options:
      output_directory: "{music_directory}"

        tracktotal: "{track_total}"
        year: "{track_year}"
        genre: "{track_genre}"

    overrides:

      track_album: "{title}"
      track_artist: "{channel}"
      track_number: "1"
      track_number_padded: "01"
      track_total: "1"
      track_year: "{upload_year}"
      track_genre: "Unset"
      # Filename Overrides
      track_file_name: "{track_number_padded} - {track_title_sanitized}.{ext}"
      album_file_name: "folder.{thumbnail_ext}"
      # Directory Name Overrides
      music_directory: 'C:\users\admin\music'
      artist_dir: "{track_artist_sanitized}"
      album_dir: "[{track_year}] {track_album_sanitized}"
      # Full Filepath Overrides
      track_full_path: "{artist_dir}/{album_dir}/{track_file_name}"
      album_cover_path: "{artist_dir}/{album_dir}/{album_file_name}"

Hello, yes the example configs are now gone because it's built into the app as YouTube Full Albums preset. For multi-url, you can do the following in your single preset

download:
  - "{url}"
  - "{url2}"
overrides:
  url2: ""

Basically create any number of URL variables, set them to empty string by default (they will do nothing if not populated)

Another alternative is to create a public playlist yourself on YouTube with the videos you want, and have ytdl-sub point to that

Awesome, thank you. I had the thought of creating a playlist myself to sub, but wasn't sure if it would just pull me as the artist doing that.

Feel like I should have thought of doing the numbered fields thing, I've done that before with Home Assistant for multiple sensor entries and such.
