Create a database with comments

[zoeleu]

This would be useful so other tools can be created with AI or other technologies. Having a dataset of normal/spam comments would be VERY useful.

Yea i'm considering adding an option to output the logs in json format, unless you have a better format suggestion

[ThioJoe]

it's scanned channel and video owner name

I should be able to add info like the video title and channel owner name, some of the other stuff like upload date and age of commenter, the app doesn't currently retrieve any of that. I guess if there was enough demand for it I could add a setting to get extra info.

@Kurdakov There's a new branch that may interest you https://github.com/ThioJoe/YT-Spammer-Purge/tree/json-extra-data

[Kurdakov]

@ThioJoe yes. checking it.
the problem is that if one scans in non channelOwner mode, channelOwnerID is not defined and

def get_extra_json_data(channelIDs, jsonSettingsDict):
channelOwnerID = jsonSettingsDict['channelOwnerID']

crashes as jsonSettingsDict['channelOwnerID'] is not defined,
then writes obscure message and also writes rtf file

also it will be fine if rtf plaintext and json were in log_mode and not as additional setting

[ThioJoe]

crashes as jsonSettingsDict['channelOwnerID'] is not defined,
@Kurdakov
Hm I think I found the problem, did you happen to have json_profile_picture set to false? For me it caused an error but didn't fully crash the program. Could you try the latest commit on that branch and see if it still happens (I've renamed the branch to 2.9.0-Beta)? If not if you could make an issue with stuff like what scan mode, filter mode, etc.

@ThioJoe 2.9.0-Beta works ok

I had a similar idea
