Youtube Playlist Sync - MP3 playlist fork

A small script used to download videos from a number of playlists using youtube-dl.

This fork of chewett's script exports playlist videos to MP3s and keeps a track of the already downloaded ones. Good for people like me who keep their music playlists on Youtube. In order to use this feature, just replace yps.py with yps-mp3.py and do as before.

You initialise a folder to hold a specific playlist, which then stores a config file in that directory that holds the playlist details.

Once this has been done, sync can be run on a directory, and all directories under that holding a config file will have their videos downloaded and updated.

This allows to keep an updated local copy of a large number of playlists easily.

Usage

Clone the repository

Set up a folder to store your playlist details with

yps.py --init <playlist url> --dir <folder>

Then sync it and download all the videos with

yps.py --sync <folder>

youtube-dl handles if you need to download a video or not and supports download resuming.
