Supports webhook notifications for OAuth token refresh. Main code in bash, API retrived with python, downloads with youtube-dl.
ytbu is meant to be run on linux, with crontab. (timing guide) Cron should execute ytbu.sh
See ytbu.sh for more instructions and for the main config. Also edit ytbu_getdata.py to set the working directory for it aswell and set up webhooks for token refresh notifications.
youtube-dl may be configured at the bottom of ytbu.sh
- youtube-dl errors: Make sure youtube-dl is up to date by running
sudo youtube-dl -U - Your API token may be expired. If so, run it manually, without crontab and authenticate.
- Out of space? Split the ytbu_channels.txt to multiple files and run 69th line of ytbu.sh to download the files (the line beginning with $ydl), then manually move them to your storage and repeat. Alternatively change youtube-dl's output to an rclone mount
