Most downloads from a given install land in the same custom directory,
which today means picking it by hand every time. DEFAULT_FOLDER seeds the
folder field once the configuration arrives; the field stays editable, so
per-download folders still work, and a folder already typed this session
is not overwritten.
The value is trimmed of surrounding slashes, and dropped with a warning
when CUSTOM_DIRS is off, since the UI hides the field in that mode and
the download path check rejects a folder anyway.

The reporter of #1055 reached for ALLOW_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES to make a LAN proxy
work, which switches off the SSRF guard wholesale. The proxy allowance is
automatic; say so where the flag is documented.

yt-dlp emits the feed-level .info.json, description and thumbnail from
__process_playlist_result without consulting `download`, so they fell out of
MeTube's classification pass with nothing steering them: they landed in
DOWNLOAD_DIR under yt-dlp's own pl_* names, ignoring OUTPUT_TEMPLATE, the
download's folder and AUDIO_DOWNLOAD_DIR. #1040 reported the names; #660 asked
for control over them. Same accident from both sides.
The classification pass now writes nothing at all, and the files are produced
once the feed has been accepted and its type is known, reusing the template its
items use — OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_CHANNEL for a channel, OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_PLAYLIST for
a playlist, falling back to OUTPUT_TEMPLATE — evaluated against the feed dict.
With the defaults that puts them in the same folder as the videos, named after
the feed, which is the Jellyfin layout #660 asked for. No new environment
variable: knowing the feed type is what makes reusing the item template
possible, and doing this after extraction is what makes the type known.
The write re-runs yt-dlp over a copy of the feed with its entries removed,
which reaches the playlist-file writing without re-extracting anything and
without touching yt-dlp's private write helpers. It runs in an executor and
never fails the add.
Nothing new appears for anyone who hasn't enabled writeinfojson /
writethumbnail, an explicit allow_playlist_files=false still turns it off, and
a failed or cancelled add no longer leaves metadata behind.
Subscription scans keep allow_playlist_files=False: a scan is a timer-driven
poll, and items it finds are queued through the download queue, which does the
writing. Previously every check interval rewrote these files.
Test doubles for __extract_info now take *args/**kwargs.
The README image URL was unchanged, so GitHub's Camo image proxy kept
serving the old cached GIF. Add ?v=2 to change the cache key and force a
re-fetch of the new screenshot.

The SSRF guard rejects any address that isn't globally routable, which breaks
proxy/VPN setups that resolve hosts into private or special-use ranges. The
reported case is Fake-IP clients (sing-box, Clash, Mihomo) that map YouTube to
the RFC 2544 benchmarking range 198.18.0.0/15 to tunnel the traffic; MeTube
rejected it with "Refusing to fetch internal address" even though yt-dlp itself
handles it fine.
Add a boolean ALLOW_PRIVATE_ADDRESSES (default false) that, when set, skips both
layers: validate_url returns after scheme validation without the internal-host
checks, and the connect-time socket guard is not installed. Threaded to the
download subprocess via Download so the guard sees it too. Scheme validation
(http/https only) still applies. Documented in the README as a trust-your-network
opt-out that disables SSRF protection.
