Removing youtube and other proprietary services from my NewPipe subscriptions:
$ sed 's/\({"service_id\)/\n\1/g' newpipe_subscriptions_202211192224.json |grep -vie youtube.com -e soundcloud.com > newpipe_subscriptions_peertube-only.json
Pranav> @RL_Dane jq(1) would like to have a word with you 😂
I thought about using it, but I've never used it before, and a single sed command did all the parsing I need.
NewPipe refused it, though, for some reason, so I either need to enter the subscriptions manually again. It's only... oh gee, 47. :P
Or learn how to use jq XD
Can you give me some pointers on telling jq to filter out any items where the "url" contains "youtube" or "soundcloud?" :D
I'm very new to this. I'm an old csv guy XD (or colon separated, or <specialtag> separated, etc. ;)
Documents $ jq .[] < newpipe_subscriptions_202211192224.json |head

@RL_Dane I would pluck out the .url and .name properties, print both of them in a tabular form (jq has something to display in csv form, or seperate them using any seperator character) and run grep on that. I don't have access to me desktop so I can't give a better example now.
I broke down and just deleted all 170ish YouTube subs from within NewPipe 😂
It wasn't too hard to do, mentally:
if (num_subscriptions > 2000) {
delete_sub();
}
lol
