YouTube synchronization : Additional options

[raphgilles]

Describe the problem to be solved

Hello,

The new YouTube channel sync tool is awesome! However, it lacks a few options that usually require manual intervention: the video language and enable/disable the download button.

Also, if more than 10 synchronizations are set up, the displayed list is incomplete.

Describe the solution you would like

Maybe it would be possible to add the ability to configure these options when creating the synchronization?

And maybe, I don't know if it's technically possible, but an option to not import the reels.

@Chocobozzz Do you think it should be offered natively or through a plugin?

[Chocobozzz]

Natively I think

Alright, I'll work on it soon then.

I have started to work on this issue. You can see a proposal of UI here: #5340

Some thoughts:

• I am not sure about what options are relevant to be added to the UI;
• I fear of duplication between the video edition screen and this screen;
• I fear of cluttering the UI;

I propose this:

1. Only add Category, Licence and Language to the UI;
2. Allow setting more advanced options through the API (like enabling comments or downloads, setting tags, flagging as sensitive, etc.);

Feedback welcome!

Awesome! Thanks for addressing this. I'm using PeerTube to mirror a video podcast produced on a weekly basis, and would like to set defaults on all videos being imported.

Some thoughts:

• I am not sure about what options are relevant to be added to the UI;

For my usecase it'd be:

• Ability to change the import behavior (import all or only new ones) of the synchronization after adding one.
• Setting defaults for language and license
• Configuring fallback thumbnail in case yt-dlp can't fetch any Ability to configure fallback thumbnail per channel synchronization #5347
• Setting default privacy status for imported videos

• I fear of duplication between the video edition screen and this screen;

Think it should be placed as a Configure menu option on the "My Synchronizations" page, that goes to a special configure page, similar in looks to the video update/edit page.

• I fear of cluttering the UI;

I propose this:

1. Only add Category, Licence and Language to the UI;

2. Allow setting more advanced options through the API (like enabling comments or downloads, setting tags, flagging as sensitive, etc.);

Advanced settings could be hidden behind a different tab, like it's done in the video update/edit page.

@vid-bin @FediVideos pinging you guys as I suspect you might also appreciate this feature and might want to share some usecase examples? 🙂

Came here to ask for conditionals to decide which videos to sync from YouTube to PeerTube:

1. Exclude Videos with title that match user-defined regex
2. Only sync videos with title that match user-defined regex
3. Only sync videos that have user-defined license
4. Exclude videos that exceed X bytes in size
5. Exclude videos that exceed Y seconds in length

@maltfield I suggest strongly to create another issue for that, so the scope remains affordable. You may link to this issue.
