# Basic Usage
1. copy sample-appsettings.json, see [[#configuration values]]
2. ttrss will need:
1. an app password. go to preferences -> preferences tab -> personal data / authentication blade -> app passwords tab. I think theoretically you could just use your own? don't, it's bad for security.
2. api enabled. go to preferences -> preferences tab -> preferences blade -> under the general header -> look for a checkbox called Enable Api
3. trigger labels. go to preferences -> labels tab. Call them whatever you want, I've been using `dl plz`, `podcastify-yt plz`, `podcastify-attachment plz`.
3. you can add them manually, but I recommend you set up a filter (preferences -> filters tab as desired) to add them.
4. set up a job to run regularly.
# what the program does, generally
1. load configuration, log in, get a session token, all that good stuff.
2. get your **unread** feeds, and loop through them.
3. get the labels with respect to the feed. loop through each match of label (the text of it) to the action (see feedActions in [[#configuration values]]) - meaning it can do multiple things for 1 feed
4. check sponsorblock for segments. if check passed (just, not a 404), it moves forward. if not, waits this cycle out (and adds to the article note)
5. performs each action - see [[#internal commands]] for reference.
6. if successful, **removes the trigger labels**.
6. updates article note with status.
7. logs out of ttrss
8. moves files from ./tmp to the location configured.
# configuration values
| title | value |
| --- | --- |
| BaseUri | link to your ttrss instance' api, e.g., https://ttrss.example.com/api |
| username | the username of your rss instance |
| password | in ttrss, go to preferences, and make an app password |
| podcastTitlePrefix | in case you don't want your podcast to be named after the feed title - e.g., LRR MTG has Tap Tap Concede. or if I wanted to listen to wisecrack's podcasts, they have a lot on one channel |
| onDoneCopy | when done, move everything under ./tmp/ to onDoneCopy - practically speaking, that's 2 directories; "recent episodes" and "podcasts" |
| feedActions | array of feed actions (see next) |
feedActions:
| title | value |
| --- | --- |
| triggerlabelCaption | the text of the label that will trigger this action, e.g., "please download this from youtube" |
| command | the internal name of the action to do, when triggered, e.g., dl. (see next, again) |
internal commands:
| title | value |
| --- | --- |
| dl | download a video using yt-dlp. will wait until it sees sponsorblock segments, or give up after 45 minutes. |
| podcastifyYT | like dl, but will rip the audio. stripping ads out of podcasts! |
| podcastifyAttachment | assumes the article has an attachment which is a direct link to an audio file. converts to mp3. |
