From 309fa5f4cf5a4199958b703f4f98b3151e20edeb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Storer Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 12:07:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add optional filename_format parameter to download_videos() - Add _format_filename_default() method to encapsulate default filename formatting - Add filename_format parameter to download_videos() allowing custom filename generation - Update _parse_downloaded_items() to accept and use custom format function - Maintain full backward compatibility (defaults to existing slugified format) - Add comprehensive documentation and examples - Add test cases for custom format functions Usage example: def custom_fmt(created_at, camera_name, path): dt = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(created_at).astimezone( pytz.timezone('US/Eastern') ) clean_name = camera_name.replace(' ', '') return os.path.join(path, f'{dt:%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}_{clean_name}.mp4') await blink.download_videos(path, filename_format=custom_fmt) --- FILENAME_FORMAT_EXAMPLE.md

Instead of Template String** + - Why: More flexible, supports complex logic (timezone conversion, conditional formatting, etc.) + - Simpler than implementing a template system + - Matches Python conventions (cf. `map()`, `sorted(key=...)`) + +2. **Extracted Default Formatter** + - Makes it easier to modify or replace default format in the future + - Keeps main parsing logic clean and focused + - Single responsibility per method + +3. **Format Function Called Once Per Item** + - Efficient: no redundant calls or string manipulations + - Clear: single place where filenames are generated + - Testable: can test format functions in isolation + +### Parameter Flow + +``` +download_videos(path, camera, ..., filename_format) + ↓ +_parse_downloaded_items(..., filename_format) + ↓ +for each video item: + filename = filename_format(created_at, camera_name, path) + # download or log... +``` + +--- + +## Testing + +### Example Test Cases Provided + +See `test_custom_format.py` for: +- ✅ Default format (backward compatibility) +- ✅ Eastern timezone conversion +- ✅ ISO-style formatting +- ✅ Minimal timestamp-only format +- ✅ Integration with `download_videos()` + +### Existing Tests + +All existing tests continue to pass (backward compatible): +- `test_parse_downloaded_items` — tests without custom formatter +- `test_parse_downloaded_throttle` — tests default format behavior +- `test_download_video_exit` — tests error handling + +--- + +## Usage Examples + +### Example 1: Eastern Time + Camera Name (from Issue) + +```python +def eastern_format(created_at, camera_name, path): + dt = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(created_at).astimezone( + pytz.timezone('US/Eastern') + ) + camera_name = camera_name.replace(' ', '') + filename = f"{dt:%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}_{camera_name}.mp4" + return os.path.join(path, filename) + +await blink.download_videos( + path="/backups/blink", + filename_format=eastern_format +) +``` + +### Example 2: Keep Original Default (No Change) + +```python +# Simply don't pass filename_format +await blink.download_videos(path="/videos") +``` + +### Example 3: ISO Date + Separate Camera Folder + +```python +def organized_format(created_at, camera_name, path): + dt = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(created_at) + camera_folder = os.path.join(path, camera_name) + filename = f"{dt:%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S}.mp4" + return os.path.join(camera_folder, filename) +

Example 4: Include Media ID for Uniqueness + +```python +def include_id_format(created_at, camera_name, path): + """Include video ID if available (would need to extend signature).""" + # Note: This example shows the current signature doesn't support it + # but users could hash the created_at + camera_name if needed + dt = datetime.datetime.fromisoformat(created_at) + clean_camera = camera_name.replace(' ', '') + filename = f"{dt:%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}_{clean_camera}_{hash(created_at)}.mp4" + return os.path.join(path, filename) +``` + +--- + +## Files Modified + +1. **blinkpy/blinkpy.py** + - Added `_format_filename_default()` method + - Updated `download_videos()` signature and docstring + - Updated `_parse_downloaded_items()` signature and implementation + +2. **FILENAME_FORMAT_EXAMPLE.md** (NEW) + - Documentation and usage examples + - Multiple format function examples + - Notes on best practices + +3. **test_custom_format.py** (NEW) + - Unit tests demonstrating the feature + - Tests for various custom formats + - Integration test with `download_videos()` + +4. **IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md** (NEW - this file) + - Detailed explanation of changes + - API documentation + - Design rationale + +--- + +## Future Enhancements + +Possible future improvements (not implemented): + +1. **Extended Format Function Signature** + - Could pass additional metadata (video duration, resolution, etc.) + - Would require breaking change or new parameter + +2. **Built-in Format Templates** + - Could provide factory functions for common formats + - Example: `Blink.FORMAT_EASTERN_TIME`, `Blink.FORMAT_ISO` + +3. **Format Validation** + - Could validate that returned path is safe (no path traversal) + - Could auto-create directories if needed + +--- + +## Notes for Integration + +- ✅ No new dependencies added +- ✅ Existing imports (datetime, pytz, os) already available in blinkpy +- ✅ No breaking changes — all existing code works as-is +- ✅ Clear error messages if format function fails (exception propagates) +- ✅ Documentation included in docstrings (IDE autocomplete friendly) + +--- + +## Questions? + +See `FILENAME_FORMAT_EXAMPLE.md` for more
