Provides to Accord's Library the tools to archive videos on multiple platforms, most notably YouTube using yt-dlp It also downloads ffmpeg and ffprobe for audio-video post-processing. The videos and other files (metadata, live chat, comments, sub files, thumbnails) are stored in public which needs to be accessible from the internet.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Wayback-Tube/Wayback-Tube-DL.git
cd watch.accords-library.com
sh install.sh

YouTube

Add the videos IDs or URLs to archive in youtube/batchfile.txt
Use the extension get Cookies.txt on your Browser to retrieve credentials that yt-dlp can use to bypass age restrictions. Possibly use a burner account.
Then place that cookies.txt in the youtube folder Then run

./download.sh

Or alternatively just give the video ID as a parameter

./download.sh VIDEOID

That's it!

Result

The resulting archive is composed as follows:

  • The video, in the highest quality possible for the audio and video (limited to codex compatible with the MP4 container format).
  • Highest quality thumbnail, saved as WebP
  • A .live-chat.json file containing an archive all the YouTube live chat
  • A .info.json file containing most if not all metadata publicly available about the video (duration, uploader, channel_id, tags, available qualities...)
  • A .vtt file for each subtitle language available.
