Youtube Smart Playlist Manager

Uses the Youtube Data API to add new videos to playlists according to smart playlist specifications in Smart Playlists file.

Runs every 30 minutes and adds any files from today to playlists. Will not add duplicates to playlists.

Setup:

  • Run OAuth Flow script.
  • Copy/paste the URL into a web browser, and authenticate with the desired Google account.
  • Copy/paste the authorization code into the pending command prompt.
  • This should dump out creds.data. Copy this into the config_data directory.
  • Modify the example smart_playlists.json file with your own playlist ids and channel IDs.
  • Copy smart_playlists.json into config_data

Run directly:

python smart_playlists.py -c /config_data/creds.data -p /config_data/smart_playlists.json
