Add download history management and other improvements

[nbr23]

Hello,

Adding a few features and updating the UI slightly while trying to remain in the original spirit:

• Add download history and download log recording and viewing
• Update Dockerfile to pull static files and serve them locally
• Add queue size viewer in UI
• Simplify endpoints
• Update readme to reflect changes made

Update 23/04/2020:

• Add rough subtitles download support

Update 25/04/2020:

• Merge @gallofeliz 's improvements (UI adds with detailed stats, as well as recording of pending jobs in the db)
• Resume pending jobs recorded by @gallofeliz in the db
• Refactor sqlite works, aiming to have a more thread safe implementation
• Update bookmarklet examples in README

Update 10/05/2020:

• Merge @eikevons adding downloading file listing and links
• Add retry option in log view for failed jobs

Update 10/06/2020:

• Add metadata fetching (without downloading) to be able to handle Direct link to audio #65

Cheers!

Very good job 👍 Suggestion : Add in the "logs" list the pending ones. Else we don't know what is in the pending queue ; and other reason : if the service is stopped, I feel that we loose all our pendings :'(

[gallofeliz]

I did it in https://github.com/gallofeliz/youtube-dl-server ;)

Looks great @gallofeliz, refactoring a bit and adding resume on start, I'll merge with my fork later today.
I love the improved stats at the top right!

Cheers!

[nbr23]

Merged, @gallofeliz, and resuming the pendings on start now. Thanks again!

[gallofeliz]

Yes, it will be a great app :) I don't know Python so refactoring after me is good ahah !

Hi,

I issue slow UI sometimes, I don't know why.
I updated logs to put same colors than stats ; but probably put colors on status badges should be more "discret".
I fixed main page height.

Regards

[nbr23]

Hi @gallofeliz do you have more details about the slowness you are seeing? Any specific actions that make it slow?
I saw your message about interrupted running jobs causing issues, but can't find the comment anymore, did this end up being a non issue?
Thanks for the cosmetic improvements!

[gallofeliz]

Hi @nbr23,

I removed the comment about interrupted running job because I didn't reproduce it. For me the job was ended because youtube-dl said it in the cli logs but maybe it needs a lot of time to finish the encoding or to write to the disk.

About the slow, I will see.

[gallofeliz]

I tested again and I issued slow pages, not stats. I issued slow main page and then slow logs page, but after that, no more, even if I reboot the service, I disable chromium cache, I go to Firefox. It's like ... random !

Regards.

[nbr23]

@gallofeliz ok weird, I have not seen any slownesses so far. I will keep an eye out.
Regarding the job you thought had ended, it can indeed take a long time for the post download conversion with ffmpeg, so what you saw was most likely that, ffmpeg working in the background still.

I've updated the logs page a little to just show the color on the status and not the whole line. That should make it easier on the eye ;)

[gallofeliz]

Yes good. I will stop to develop for the moment and begin to use :)

The next step for me is to be able to stop it correctly ... When I do CTRL-C, it doesn't stop. I need to do it 3 times. I don't know how to do, I tried exit(0) but without success.

Regards

Is this still work in progress? any chance for merge?

[nbr23]

@fluential it is stable and can be merged

[fluential]

@manbearwiz can this be merged?

[fluential]

??

This is super dope... I've got the fork pulled and running great on my unRAID box. It'd be AMAZING to see this merged and given an official Community Apps release! 😁🤩

This is the best youtube downloader I've seen by far. Longing for the newer version with file size showing for finished download.
one silly question would like check;
Does docker with tag "yt-dlp" mean using yt-dlp while "latest" is using youtube-dl? Somehow I realized the performance for youtube-dl is not good lately, that's why I'm quite eager to use yt-dlp instead. Thanks.

That is correct yes!
