NOTE: YTDL IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH DOWNLOAD SPEED, WE ARE WORKING ON ADDING A DIFFERENT PROGRAM TO THIS REPO TO HELP WITH DOWNLOAD SPEED
Use this script to download a list of channels all at once!
Currently only working on Windows.
Make a channels.txt file in the same dir as the script. download FFMPEG and YTDL
No python deps needed, just install python3 and run!
#How to run
-
Open powershell as admin
-
Navigate to dir where extracted zip is located
-
type python download.py or python3 download.py depending on configuration
-
Watch the script run!
#Tips and tricks
If you are going to run on a different HDD. use Set-Location D: (where d is your drive letter) to change drives in powershell! Use cd to change directories and ls to show where you currently are
Download file list: add on channel per line for script to work
Notes: if you clone directly from this repo, you will need to download the latest ffmpeg windows binaries, which can be found on ffmpegs website
Disclaimer: In our release package we include the latest version of ffmpeg and ytdl, all rights go to both of these teams, and shoutout to them for creating awesome software!
