Lets vidl download to a temporary directory first (by default
~/downloads can be changed through "$TEMP_FOLDER") before moving
downloaded files to target directory as last step.
Massively increases download speed if final directory is on a slow HDD
or a network drive (since otherwise ffmpeg is computing on these slow
devices themselves).
Added queuing to vidl downloader - will collect newly added files to
download to a queue.
(by default in ($XDG_DATA_HOME/ or ~/.local/share)/vidl/vidl_queue)
The queue of links can be interacted with like any other file.
When vidl is already running it keeps a lock-file active in .cache
directory so only one instance of vidl can ever be running
simultaneously.
When adding new links to vidl, it will now put them in a queue (file)
from which it then begins downloading links one after the other. Only
one downloading instance of vidl will ever be running, but you can still
add more links by invoking it again while it is.
Added one new command line option `-c` to quickly empty the queue and
start over.
Fixes#8.
Added script for downloading videos with ytdl or any of its derivatives.
The script is adapted from one in my rapberry pi setup which serves
videos remotely, and makes some hardcoded assumptions that might not be
the best for all situations.
Added archive script which takes a file and puts a hardlink to it into
an arbitrary archival folder. This means even if the original file is
deleted its data stays on disk because of its hardlinked archive
version.
Fixed invocations of vifm only passing through the first commandline
option, now passes through everything correctly.
Also fixed silencing of the stderr, stdout redirection.
