      8 ## sya.py
      9 
     10 This is the base Python script, which contains all the functionality:
     11 
     12 	sya.py [OPTIONS] TRACKLIST
     13 
     14 ### OPTIONS
     15 
     16 ```
     17   -h, --help
     18     show this help message and exit
     19   
     20   -o [PATH], --output [PATH]
     21     specify the directory to write output files to (default: ./out)
     22 						
     23   -f [FORMAT], --format [FORMAT]
     24     specify the --audio-format argument to pass to yt-dlp (default: mp3)
     25 	
     26   -q [QUALITY], --quality [QUALITY]
     27     specify the --audio-quality argument to pass to yt-dlp (default: 320K)
     28 
     29   --yt-dlp [PATH]
     30     path of the "yt-dlp" binary to use
     31 	
     32   --ffmpeg [PATH]
     33     path of the "ffmpeg" binary to use
     34 	
     35   -k, --keep
     36     keep any files removed during processing (full video/audio file)
     37 ```
     38 
     39 ### TRACKLIST
     40 
     41 **TRACKLIST** should be the filepath of a UTF-8 text file that has the URL of the video to download to audio track of on line 1.
     42 Every line after this should be the track name and timestamp of each track, note that the timestamp is *where the track starts*.
     43 
     44 Regex is used to parse the tracks (timestamp and name), it tries to be fairly accomodating but isn't perfect - so here are a few rules:
     45 
     46 - Timestamps can be before or after the track name.
     47 - Timestamps can be wrapped in `[]` or `()`.
     48 - Timestamps can be `MM:SS` or `HH:MM:SS`.
     49 - Timestamps can be split using `:` or `.`.

     87 ### Install
     88 
     89 It's a Python script, so there are many ways to install it.
     90 
     91 Here's one that should work on *any* system:
     92 
     93 	python3 ./setup.py install --user --record install.txt
     94 
     95 To **uninstall**, just remove all files recorded to *./install.txt*.

     99 ## sya-pyqt
    100 
    101 Some people don't like the cli and I wanted to play with PyQt, so sya-pyqt wraps a nice GUI around the *sya.py* runtime.
    102 
    103 ![screenshot](./screenshot.PNG "sya-pyqt on Windows")
    104 
    105 ### Development
    106 
    107 Working on or building requires *PyQt5*, this can be installed with `pip install PyQt5`.
    108 
    109 To run *sya-pyqt*, you don't need to build a binary everytime, you can just run `python ./sya-pyqt.py`.
    110 
    111 ### Building
    112 
    113 [pyinstaller](https://pyinstaller.org) is used to build a portable binary for sya-pyqt for easy distribution.
    114 
    115 **POSIX (Linux, MacOS, BSD)**
    116 
    117 	pyinstaller ./src/sya-pyqt.py -F --windowed --add-data "./doc/HELP.md:." --add-data "./res/folder.png:." --add-data "./res/file.png:." --add-data "./sya.png:." --add-data "$FFMPEG:." --add-data "$YT-DLP:."
    118 
    119 **Windows**
    120 
    121 	pyinstaller ./sya-pyqt.py -F --windowed --add-data ".\doc\HELP.md;." --add-data ".\res\folder.png;." --add-data ".\res\file.png;." --add-data ".\res\sya.png;." --add-data "$FFMPEG;." --add-data "$YT-DLP;."
    122 
    123 
    124 **IMPORTANT NOTES**
    125 
    126 - Make sure you have the latest *yt-dlp* binary available, the filepath to this should replace *$YT-DLP*.
    127 - Make sure you have the latest *ffmpeg* binary available, the filepath of this should replace *$FFMPEG*.
    128 - In some cases, I've found the path of PyQt5 has had to be explicitly given to *pyinstaller*:
    129 `--path <site-packages filepath>\PyQt5`
    130 - You might want to add an icon to the binary, to do this install [Pillow](https://python-pillow.org/) and add `--icon "sya.png"` to the build command.

    135 ## Thanks
    136 
    137 These two tools do all the heavy lifting:
    138 - youtube-dl (https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/)
    139 - ffmpeg (https://ffmpeg.org)
    140 
    141 And the cool folder & file icons used in 'sya-pyqt' are from the Palemoon MicroMoon theme: 
    142 https://repo.palemoon.org/Lootyhoof/micromoon
    143 
    144 
    145 ## Disclaimer
    146 
    147 It should go without saying, don't use this for pirating music. Get nice high-quality, properly tagged audio tracks from official services (shoutout to Bandcamp).
    148 The tool was originally written to download radio mixes and ambient soundtracks for a DnD group.
