How do I download only new videos from a playlist?
For one, have a look at the list of supported sites. Note that it can
sometimes happen that the site changes its URL scheme (say, from
-http://example.com/video/1234567 to http://example.com/v/1234567 ) and
+https://example.com/video/1234567 to https://example.com/v/1234567 ) and
youtube-dl reports an URL of a service in that list as unsupported. In
that case, simply report a bug.
python test/test_download.py
nosetests
+See item 6 of new extractor tutorial for how to run extractor specific
+test cases.
+
If you want to create a build of youtube-dl yourself, you'll need
- python
1. Fork this repository
2. Check out the source code with:
- git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git
+ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git
3. Start a new git branch with
- cd youtube-dl
- git checkout -b yourextractor
+ cd youtube-dl
+ git checkout -b yourextractor
4. Start with this simple template and save it to
youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py:
class YourExtractorIE(InfoExtractor):
_VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?yourextractor\.com/watch/(?P<id>[0-9]+)'
_TEST = {
- 'url': 'http://yourextractor.com/watch/42',
+ 'url': 'https://yourextractor.com/watch/42',
'md5': 'TODO: md5 sum of the first 10241 bytes of the video file (use --test)',
'info_dict': {
'id': '42',
_TEST to _TESTS and make it into a list of dictionaries. The tests
will then be named TestDownload.test_YourExtractor,
TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_1,
- TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_2, etc.
+ TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_2, etc. Note that tests with
+ only_matching key in test's dict are not counted in.
7. Have a look at youtube_dl/extractor/common.py for possible helper
methods and a detailed description of what your extractor should and
may return. Add tests and code for as many as you want.
9. When the tests pass, add the new files and commit them and push the
result, like this:
- $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/extractors.py
- $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py
- $ git commit -m '[yourextractor] Add new extractor'
- $ git push origin yourextractor
+ $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/extractors.py
+ $ git add youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py
+ $ git commit -m '[yourextractor] Add new extractor'
+ $ git push origin yourextractor
10. Finally, create a pull request. We'll then review and merge it.
