# NAME
git-annex importfeed - import files from podcast feeds
# SYNOPSIS
git annex importfeed `[url ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
convert importfeed to youtube-dl Fully working, including --fast/--relaxed. Note that, while git-annex addurl --relaxed is not going to check youtube-dl, I kept git annex importfeed --relaxed checking it. Thinking is that, let's not break people's importfeed cron jobs, and importfeed does not typically have to check a large number of new items, so it's ok if it's a little bit slower when used with youtube playlist feeds. importfeed's behavior is also improved (?) when a feed has links in it to non-media files. Before, those were skipped. Now, the content of the link is downloaded. This had to be done, because trying to use youtube-dl is slow, and if those were skipped, it would have to check every time importfeed was run. While this behavior change may not be desirable for some feeds, that intersperse links to web pages with enclosures, it will be desirable for other feeds, that have non-enclosure directy links to media files. Remove old quvi modules. This commit was sponsored by Øyvind Andersen Holm.

delete, rename, etc the resulting files and repeated runs won't duplicate
them.
default to not using youtube-dl, for security Pity, but same reasoning as curl applies to it. This commit was sponsored by Peter on Patreon.

When `youtube-dl` is installed, it can be used to download links in the feed.
documentation update for youtube-dl Code not updated yet. This commit was sponsored by Thomas Hochstein on Patreon.

This allows importing e.g., YouTube playlists.

(However, this is disabled by default as it can be a security risk.
rename annex.security.allowed-http-addresses Renamed annex.security.allowed-http-addresses to annex.security.allowed-ip-addresses because it is not really specific to the http protocol, also limiting eg, git-annex's use of ftp and via youtube-dl, several other protocols. The old name for the config will still work. If both old and new name are set, the new name will win.

These options behave the same as when using [[git-annex-addurl]](1).

* `--fast`
Avoid immediately downloading urls. The url is still checked
(via HEAD) to verify that it exists, and to get its size if possible.
* `--relaxed`
Don't immediately download urls, and avoid storing the size of the
url's content. This makes git-annex accept whatever content is there
at a future point.
* `--raw`
Prevent special handling of urls by youtube-dl, bittorrent, and other
special remotes. This will for example, make importfeed
download a .torrent file and not the contents it points to.

# SEE ALSO
[[git-annex]](1)
expand manpages cross-references significantly i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well.
