Introduction

Categories are a way to categorize your videos based on a set of rules. These can be ANDed or ORed, meaning you can customize the rules to your liking.

What can they do?

Right now, not a ton of features exist for categories, but it's something that will be built upon in the future. There are two features implement currently which may make it worthwhile:

• Custom file output
  • Your categorized videos may be placed in any folder in your filesystem, so absolute paths are possible here -- and it supports youtube-dl's file output features allowing you to customize the file name to your choosing for that specific category
• Automatic playlists
  • If one or multiple videos exist in a category, it gets automatically created into a playlist which will show up on your home screen

Example

For example, if you want a "tech" category, you can have the following ruleset:

And let's say you want a custom file output for these videos, you can make it videos/tech/%(title)s, meaning all those videos will end up in a folder called tech in your videos folder.

Caveats
