v1.0.1 - added an option postUniqueTitlesOnly to post only if the clip title is different from the channel title

3

v1.0.2 - added option for logging to a set of json files for debugging purposes

4

v1.0.6 - After some debugging, I think I can get some consistent results. I’ve cleaned up the logging code. If you need any logging, test the Test Trigger.
