Inside this folder you can place several subfolders containing a `url.txt` file. The tool will find all of these files and pass the first line of it alongside with other options you define in `options` to `youtube-dl`. +### url.txt considerations +Be aware that `youtube-dl` maybe downloads more then you expect. E.g. if you just put in a YouTube channel url (https://www.youtube.com/c/) it will also download playlists created by this account (possibly referencing videos/music from other accounts). To avoid this you have to specify the exact location. For uploads of one single channel only you can add e.g. `https://www.youtube.com/c//videos`. + ### Auto update for MPD If you want to update MPD automatically you can set `update=True` and define the `mpd_root`. `mpd_root` should be the same as your `music_directory` in `/etc/mpd.conf`.
