Video Files

WROLPi creates several files when downloading a video:

  1. A video file.
  2. Caption files. The suffix may be prefixed with the language like so: .en.vtt or .es.vtt
  3. An "info" json file. This file contains large amounts of information about the video: Channel name, Source ID, comments, Like count, etc.
  4. A poster file (thumbnail).

These files all share the same filename but have different suffixes.

File Suffix Purpose
.mp4 The video.
.vtt The captions.
.info.json Information about the video.
.jpg The poster (thumbnail).

Video files are named using three parts:

  1. The Channel Name.
  2. The Published Date (upload date).
  3. The Source ID (a unique string of characters linking to the video, i.e 0xfMLNVFq2Y)
  4. The title of the video.

The above order is important, it allows the videos to be viewed chronologically in the file browser. The Source ID is important because it prevents a conflict if a Channel uploads a video with the same name on the same day.

Example file names for a video:
