Youtube Download Material / yt-dlp Problems:
NOTICE (1 August 2024):
Youtube Download Material using yt-dlp for downloading videos is currently having issues as a result of youtube's garbage. Additions to Jellyfin may be slower at best as a result be stopped at worst. More information on this later.
UPDATE (2 August 2024):
As a notice on the Youtube Download Material situation, I do think I may have circumvented the issue, at least for the time being.
Solution / Workaround (possibly temporary):
• Downloaded and set up the Binhex DelugeVPN docker container.
• It is using ProtonVPN, logged in through the OpenVPN / IKEv2 credentials.
• Currently configured to connect to a Dutch VPN server through .ovpn file.
• Adjusted parameters in the Youtube Download Material Docker Container:
• Network type: --net=container:binhex-delugevpn.
• Container Port & Webui 17743 (17442 & 17444 reserved for personal ytdl material intances).
• Back in the DelugeVPN container to allow for the WebUI passthrough of the ytdl-material instances:
• Added the values 17442,17443,17444 to the variables: VPN_INPUT_PORTS: & VPN_OUTPUT_PORTS:.
• Added both ports 17442, 17443, and 17444 to Delugevpn.
At the time of writing it is functioning fine, although the downloads are significantly slower through the VPN. But that I do not foresee causing any major issues.
As to what I think caused the issue in the first place:
The main error message was as follows: ERROR [youtube] *video id* : Sign in to confirm you're not a bot. This helps protect our community. Learn more
I suspect that, and especcially because I haven't ran anything behind a VPN before this, that my IP adress has been getting blocked by youtube on suspicion of bot activity. Everyone can still access the website just fine, with or without an account so I'm not sure what they're blocking. But anyways I know how to run docker containers behind a VPN now :3 . *And yes I know I should've put it behind a VPN in the first place, hush.
34. Added a new div inside the log for extra notices not per say related to updates but just other possibly interesting things I want to add to the log.
35. Added the DelugeVPN & ProtonVPN logo's to the logo's at the bottom.
36. Set up the MeTube docker container as a simple backup that hopefully keeps working in case Youtube Download Material stops working (again).
37. Updated the IT setup schematic once more.
Youtube Download Material Error:
August 9th 2024:
Error:
(node:35) DeprecationWarning: uuidv4() is deprecated. Use v4() from the uuid module instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
I still am not exactly certain what causes this issue but I did manage to fix it simply going into the local_db.json file and removing all the excess "database" things from it.
So that would be videos from the archive and so on that ensure they don't get downloaded twice, download queue, etc.
I did leave in all the subscriptions so that I did not need to set them up again manually and they all are set to download everything of the last 7 days EXCEPT the class video download playlist which is set to download all.
I will leave fixed file in the dropdown menu below.
The faulty file being almost 250MB large with almost 3 million lines in it is too large to even show in browser so you'll have to download it.
For faulty local_db file, click: HERE -> ytdl-database files -> local_db.json (244.3MB) -> Download.
38. Stopped work on this update and it shall stay as a dev build. Work will continue on the next update.
39. Archived the dev build in legacy HERE.

3. Legacy:
• Removed all the contents and effectively just made it an iframe page.
• Two "seperate" menu categories, one for the iframe and one to open the pages in a new tab.
• iframe is not supported on mobile as it kind of just doesn't really work.
4. Minor changes to the sidebar.
5. Adjusted the update notice on the home site.
Note to self: In the future somewhere look into how to share HTML & CSS elements over multiple pages. This would be used for the sidebar menu and bottom info thingy.

Youtube Download Material / yt-dlp Problems (again):

I have actually no idea how to work around it at the moment for automatic monitoring but at least I can still download things manually...
16 August 2024:
1. Started work on a new update.

1. Added shared elements between pages through the use of iframes for the navbar and the bottom info thingies.
3. Moved the side navigation bar to the top.
3. Created an entirely new mobile menu for increased functionality and performance. Based on the navigation menu from gamersnexus.net.
4. The new menu and shared elements have been added to all the pages.
5. Universal colour scheme and layout for all pages for consistency.
6. Renamed the .css files to make it easier to disthinguish what page they are for by name.
7. Ranemed and combined the .js files where possible to also make it easier to disthinguis what page they are for based on their name and to eliminate having multiple files for one page.
8. Added a little bit of extra text in the nextcloud div to give a bit more context as to where the link leads.
9. Added a little script that resizes the bottom iframe when its contents are loaded to the contents size to make sure it displays everything properly.
• Note: For some reason it has to be embedded in the HTML file as it bugs out at times when it is located in the pages' respective .js file.
10. Removed the docker status / docker webui thing as it was of no use to begin with and I just really wanted to put this in a few months ago for some reason...
11. Updated the update notice on the home page.
12. Added a hamburger menu in the mobile navigation bar on the top right and once opened it displays a second one but with a different background colour and rotated 90 degrees to give the illusion of the button changing.
13. Added a preload element for the second cat picture in legacy to get rid of the weird little flicked when the transition animiation started.
14. Removed little mistake in the start schoolyear notice 2024-2025.
15. Added a left and right flexbox div in the nextcloud menu.
16. Nicely centered ALL ELEMENTS in the center row on the home page.
17. Massively simplified home.css & bottom.css.
18. Cleaned up and re-organized all the folders for all the pages to make it easier to navigate.
19. Cleaned up the javascript elements in the navbar.html file after having made some changes making parts of the script unnecessary.
20. Updated the scripts file in the IT Setup folder in nextcloud.
21. The links on the mobile menus that refer to something that is on the current page will now direct you to said element and close the mobile menu.
22. Moved the filetree explanation image to the filetree page.
23. Renamed Swag Aviation Links to Swag Links and removed some links in it.
24. On mobile the nextcloud logo won't display anymore on the home page as it was just causing issues because it for some reason is just always massive and scales in a weird way.
25. Fixed some typos in the gallery a name="..." elements.
26. Fixed redirects to the bottom of the page as the elements that used to be there have now been replaced with a singular iframe.
27. Decreased the width on the left and right mobile dropdown menu to make sure it actually fits on the screen.
28. Renamed the "bottom" redirects in the menu's to "contact" and also added them on pages that didn't have this yet.
29. Adjusted the font sizes on all the menus so they are all the same or at least very similar.
30. Adjusted some things in the filetree menu.
31. Everything in the bottom information thing is now also centered just like everything in the center on the home page.
32. Updated the menu in Legacy for the archived version of the 16th of August.
33. Fixed some targeting issues in the Legacy menus.
34. Changed the size of the legacy iframe so that on mobile once in use it changes its aspect ration from 16/9 to 9/16. Not that that does a whole lot but it is better than 16/9 on a mobile....
35. The Jellyfin logo is now actually centered on mobile displays.
36. Underlined the days in the schoolyear start notice to make it a bit more clear.
Height Calculations and Fixed Positions!?
One thing I was running into for almost an entire day was the following. And this will be illustrated as well in the image below.
First, the navbar iframe is fixed in place as follows (only showing the applicable syntaxes): iframe.navbar{position: fixed; top: 0; height: calc(100% - 75px);}
Then the mobile dropdown menu I want in a fixed location overtop of the rest of the page under the navbar iframe which you would do by putting it in a fixed position. Then move it down by 75 pixels and make its height equal to 100% of the available screen space minus the 75 pixels taken off the top.
YET FOR SOME REASON THIS IS THE FUNCTIONAL CSS (only showing the applicable syntaxes): .navmobile{position: fixed; top: 55px; height: calc(100% - 35px);}
The height is 100% - 35px and the offset from the top is 55px???
It may be because the navbar height changes on 600 pixels and 400 pixels width but even then it doesn't make any sense because the top offset and height consistently works.
I DON'T GET IT.
20 August 2024:
1. Changed order and names of the dropdown menus on the Filetree page.
2. Made html files for all the txt files when opened in a new tab to force the UTF-8 character set so the text files display properly.
3. Added the following script to run on a daily basis for nextcloud as a lot of files are added to it that aren't going through its own system. This is to hopefully prevent error messages.
22 August 2024:
1. Made the menu font size a little bigger then the minimum display size is over 2200px. This is done for 1440P displays as I have one and it feels a little more balanced this way.
23 August 2024:
1. Held some cleanup regarding the saved videos for Jellyfin. As a result I have removed a few things here and there.
24 August 2024:
1. Added QR code and link to download the mijnVISTA app in its notice.
2. Removed the vista orientation day notice.
3. Added an ACC orientation day notice telling people to just contact either the school or I.
4. Added an additional note in personal contact mentioning I speak both english and dutch (just in case because the entire website is in English).
5. Found an unknown issue in the command that refreshes the filetrees each day where some files will disappear. I suspect it tries to make the new file and fails, but I am not sure about this yet.
26 August 2024:
1. Added links to the following youtube channels in the jellyfin aviation youtube channels dropdown:
• Alex Praglowski Aviation
• 3 Minutes of Aviation
• Lucaas
• Airbus
2. Added a target="_blank" to the gamersnexus.net link here in the log.
3. Removed all the text-align: left; syntaxes in the iframe.navbar element on all pages.
4. Made sure the pictures and videos are all centered within their little divs in gallery on all screen sizes. I had to change the margin from px to %.
5. Renamed one of the menus on the filetree page from "Iframe & Nextcloud" to "Nextcloud & Iframe".
6. Fixed scaling issue on the log page. This was caused by the image I added in the 'Height Calculations and Fixed Positions!?'s' notice. And it did not have a set height or width which caused an issue. It now has a set width.
7. Added some lines of javascript on every page to ensure that when the window gets resized, the bottom iframe also gets resized properly as a result of this. The total code for the iframe resizing now looks as follows (comments removed):
8. Moved the little snippets of code into dedicated files and they will from now on be shown within html objects.
9. Ever so slightly adjusted the font sizes on all the pages when total window width is over 2200 pixels.
10. Adjusted the font sizes in the bottom elements for when the total window width is less than 800 pixels and for when it is over 2200 pixels.
11. Made the ACC and Vista logo's in the mobile navbar clickable links.
12. Adjusted the top margin of the two bottom, bottom elements on thinner displays.
29 August 2024:
1. Fixed little problem where the "All files" filetree would show the swag aviation files. The object in filetree.html had the wrong source.
2. Added a little notice to the breakfest notice to make it clear that you cannot sign up anymore.
31 August 2024:
1. Navbar height is now 70px instead of 75px.
1 September 2024:
1. Removed the body::-webkit-scrollbar{display: none;} syntax from all pages. So a scrollbar will now show.
2. Changed the order of the navbar and mobile dropdown menu links.
3. Added the "manuals" page to the navbar. This page is going to be a work in progress for quite a while. I wanted to make a page where the manuals that we most often use in school are readily accessible but the whole thing can be optimized a lot more by proper use of javascript.
So over time I will be using this page to learn how to use javascript better and will implement new things most likely in there.
4. Changed the width syntax in the .main element on all pages to be as follows:
• If width > 800px: width: calc(100% - 2 * 20px); where 20px = margin
• If width < 800px: width: calc(100% - 2 * 5px); where 5px = margin
5. Removed the little purple box that would show up on the vista logo in the mobile navbar when clicked once as it would be registered as a visited link and try to show that.
6. Added link to the online manual access div on home to the swag aviation manual page.
New Handbrake Settings:
New Handbrake docker container that now uses the GTX 1050TI for hardware transcoding (NVEnc).
The new transcode settings are as follows:
Filetree Script - Fix:
The filetree script had been bugging out here and there every so often.
The script now will simply create each filetree one at a time and it appears to be fully stable this way so on September 1st 2024:

2. Added the Vista OneDrive Manuals QR Codes back to the QR codes.
3. I noticed that the ata chapter overview file is called: 'ata chapter overwiew'. I am not going to fix this now as I don't feel like adjusting this in a bunch of html files but I may fix it later down the line somewhere.

8. Adjusted the IT Setup Schematic once again. The handbrake stable file time is now 0 seconds, and all of the file extensions that handbrake shouldn't transcode have been added. By giving it a list of file extensions to ignore it will immediately transcode a downloaded video (instead of transcoding the .part video file).
