Add a preview image for files in /videos

Tasks

• Have YouTube-dl download previews (--write-thumbnail)
• Render thumbnail in videos list page
• Prevent thumbnail files from being treated as videos in disk operations (getting videos, deleting)
• Make sure thumbnails are deleted alongside videos

Eventually LRU, for now oldest gets removed

Work out how to cut sponsor segments out of video files, or skip them on playback.

May need to leverage SponSkrub

Given a Youtube or other video playlist to track, Chompy should automatically download any new videos from that playlist regularly.

TODOs

• Config to set Playlist URL
• Config for playlist update frequency?
• Config to set Cookies for private playlists
• Add example docker run command

tl;dr -- option to auto remove videos that were downloaded via PLAYLIST_SYNC but then removed from that playlist?

One of the ways I use chompy is to set my YouTube watch later playlist to auto download, then I watch the video, then remove it from youtube's watch later. But then, all the videos remain in my chompy browse the directory in VLC or a file browser and directly watch the mp4's that were downloaded, allowing me to directly watch the videos without having to always go through the youtube app and Shortcuts. Then I later remove the video from my watch later playlist on youtube. But then the video stays in my chompy directory forever, unless I use the max size limit option.

I saw that chompy saves downloaded playlist files to a ".ytdl-archive.txt" file but does not save to this file if the user activates chompy via iOS shortcuts.

The logic would be, at time of refreshing the PLAYLIST_SYNC playlist:
IF (video is in .ytdl-archive.txt) AND (video is not in PLAYLIST_SYNC playlist) THEN (delete local file).

Thanks!

Currently missing a <title> on /videos, add one. Maybe even a favicon one day...

Chompy doesn't clean up downloaded videos. It should.

Probably sufficient to allow users to specify a maximum directory size, and delete videos when near that limit.

Implementation notes:

• Allow user to set size in MB
• If size on startup is over the limit, ask the user to delete manually so we don't inadvertently delete their files
• Run deletions after every successful download job
• (?) Will yt-dl re-download deleted files from playlists

Is it possible to create an environmental variable called DELETE_AFTER or something similar that before or after a download/check automatically deletes all downloaded videos that have a date created/date modified older than X hours? This would make it easy to keep a chompy downloads folder clean without worrying about file size of videos, as an alternative to the MAX_SIZE variable. I'd like to keep videos around for 1 or 2 days, but no more, regardless of length/size.

Might have to automatically disable this if the PLAYLIST_SYNC variable is set.

Videos like Hitman 3's Banana Is Broken | Highlight Reel #577 won't play properly because the '#' is interpreted as a URL Fragment.

Use URL Encoding for all links to avoid this.
