Hints

It's convenient to have an alias for this command

$ echo 'alias jw="docker run --rm --name=jw -v `pwd`:/data xdrew/jw"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

Sometimes it's handy to put multiple videos into queues

$ cat queue.sh
jw https://video.com/c/xxxx.mp4/asdf/segment1.ts --name="Video 1"
jw https://video.com/c/yyyy.mp4/adsf/segment1.ts --name="Video 2"

To make alias work inside this queue file you can do the following

echo "function jw() {
    docker run --rm --name=jw -v \`pwd\`:/data xdrew/jw \"\$@\"
} 
export -f jw" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

And just run the queue

./queue.sh
