Hey there!
Loving this project so far.

One thing I could not figure out so far was whether one is able to add multiple drives?

Hey there! Thanks for the report (:

This isn't explicit support for multiple drives in-app, but you should be able to get something like that by setting up some symlinks on your host OS.

You may also be able to use Docker volume mounts to accomplish this, but I haven't tried that. For instance, maybe you could map /disk_1/youtube on the host to /downloads/disk_1 on the container and same with a hypothetical disk_2. Then, when setting up your Media Profiles you could set the output template to something like /disk_2/{{ title }}.{{ ext }}. Again, all untested and I'm mostly just thinking out loud.

Let me know if it works!

Thanks for the feedback!
I will try asap and get back to yo about how it went :)

I am sure I am not the only one with a rapidly growing library :)

Short update!

In my stack I have defined as this:
/mnt/6TB_1/YT:/downloads/6TB1
In the Media Profiles as this:
/6TB1/%(uploader)s - NA - %(uploader)s_-_Videos [%(channel_id)s]/%(uploader)s - %(upload_date>%Y%m%d)s - %(title)s[%(id)s].%(ext)s

At least on one drive this seems to be working flawlessly so I would expect it to be working as soon as I add sources to the second profile.

BTW:
I have succesfully transferred the pinchflat config from one OS to another
It might seem obvious to users but I had sweaty palms and had to figure out that one can just copy the pinchflat folder and make sure to update the stack if the path changes.

EDIT:

  • Might need to set up backups for the config if the OS or anything else breaks
