This program polls different channels you are interested in and downloads the latest files on them.
To avoid scrolling on youtube so much, to have access to videos offline, to streamline the youtube dl process for a specific use case I had.
Run the main file. For basic functionality, it expects a channels.txt file with each line being a url to the xml feed for a youtube channel.
It will output all the latest content from that channel (Note the feed only goes back ~10 videos.) and in subsequent runs, it will only find videos after the latest.
By default the files will go into a folder in the current directory based on the channel name.
You can change the location using the -o flag, and you can make the output not split by using the -f flag.
you can also change the input file with the -i flag.
- Split this into more manageable files
- Offer a better way to delete old files... Perhaps check file info like modification date? As of now we just delete everything
- Similar to above, but offer a better interface for the date information. Currently the given input file is modified. Pretty dumb
