This commit adds support for channel home pages and all of the
categories within it. However, the frontend code is a mess and thus
needs to be refactor soon. Though that would likely require a rework of
items.ecr
This commit also comes with some general cleanups and improvements.
Before this commit channel brand URls would only be supported on the
videos page (now home page). It has been improved to be able to handle
all channel URLs.
The category_type and auxiliary_data property has also been removed from
the Category struct. The former was never used and the latter allows for
random data to be added to the Struct presenting documentation issues.
Since the auxiliary_data variable was mainly used to store values from
the browse_endpoint in order to create URLs, its much simpler to instead
just get the URL from the webCommandMetadata.
As a result of this change the browse_endpoint_data attribute of
Category has also been removed.
This commit changes the way search filters are parsed. Instead of
directly appending the data into the search query and creating k:v
pairs, all of the search filters are now a URL parameter. This results
in a clear look overall and hides much of the logic from the end user.
Closes#1969
Simple routes have been moved into a single `Misc` file.
Embed routes have been moved into a single `Embed` file.
The preferences route has been renamed to be more consistent with other parts
of the codebase.
The config file can now be specified with `INVIDIOUS_CONFIG_FILE`.
A YAML formatted string can still be passed with `INVIDIOUS_CONFIG`, replacing
the config file.
Additionally all options can now be specified as environment variables.
The syntax for variable names is `INVIDIOUS_` followed by the option name in
upper case. The values are parsed as YAML.
These new env vars only update the provided main configuration, but it is
possible to point the config file at the example config and then use env vars
for all config options:
```
INVIDIOUS_CONFIG_FILE=./config/config.example.yml \
INVIDIOUS_CHANNEL_THREADS=10 \
./invidious
```
