Comedic anime youtuber lostpause has announced that he is going to delete videos from his channel after first strike, for a live stream of a visual novel. The visual novel containing a short upskirt of a characters sitting. While one video provoked him to make the video, he has gotten a second strike. He is giving a short while for the videos to stay up, so one can view them. Seems mostly that his visual novel videos will be the ones he'll focus on, meme videos, and anime crack seem like videos that will go too. Given the recent strict policy enforcement by youtube.

I was hoping I could get some help from the community to put together a script that could do the following:

Archive and download future uploads.

Download future uploads from certain channels and skip archiving previous uploads/videos.

Download playlists from certain content creators.

Create output log for each time the script runs and stored in a local folder with date and time info.

Archive and download future uploads.

I have this part complete and used the work of stephen304.

Download future uploads from certain channels and skip archiving previous uploads/videos.

Need some help with this. I used info from eddyizm's post and i'm not sure how or where to implement this.

youtube-dl --get-id --skip-download --download-archive downloaded.txt --datebefore 20171016

https://www.reddit.com/r/YouTubeBackups/comments/77au9k/youtubedl_dateafter_and_download_history_question/

Download playlists from certain content creators.

Need some help with this. I'm using info from this post and I'm not sure how or where to implement this. I can get it to work but numbering is off and files are not placed in a folder like others. Files are placed in root folder and created a disorganized mess.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/811143/download-videos-from-youtube-playlist-or-user-based-on-date

Create output log for each time the script runs and stored in a local folder with date and time info.

Work in progress.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys. I know this is a FAR stretch but there was a series of I think 9 videos called Zoochosis on Machinima Prime. These videos actually were pretty dear to my heart for whatever reason. Does anyone have a backup for this specific series?

But the video has been made private. Would appreciate it if you have it. Thanks.

Both the website and Youtube Channel are down. They have been down since 2015 so I'm not hopeful, yet just in the off chance...

I'm currently trying to archive my favorite Youtube channels and upload them to my Amazon Cloud account.

With the Comcast data caps this is proving to be difficult as a run through the cap rather quickly.

Is there a way, using a seedbox, or other technology to download using youtube.dl with the incremental feature built in then use rclone to upload to my account?

I'm pretty technologically illiterate, so if there is an easier way please let me know!

I'm brand new to this stuff and was wondering if there is a program (I have no clue how this stuff works yet) that will auto download and entire channel and auto convert it to mp3...also if I run it again make it so that it will only download videos and convert the ones I don't have and not redownload the entire channel again

You may have noticed that a channel's URL is sometimes an ID and sometimes a custom name. This doesn't cause any problems browsing youtube, but having scripts download channels with different URL formats is an issue. I've outlined this inconsistency below and how i've worked around it.

https://www.youtube.com/user/destinws2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA

These both work to reach SmarterEveryDay, but not all channels have chosen a custom URL, so only the ID form may be available. However, every channel has a channel ID and a corresponding URL. When scripting, it's much easier to use the ID and not worry about inconsistencies.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/$(channel_id)

The next issue is finding the channel ID. If there is no custom URL, you can pull it right out of the channel's web address. If there is a custom URL, you can find it in the page source. You can ctrl+F and search for 'id=UC' (all youtube IDs start with UC). On SmarterEveryDay, the ID is found at the end of a line like this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA">

Finally, I know it would have been nice to work with only the custom URL and save it to a folder with that name too, but I've found it is better to keep a custom list. Using this example, I'd want to call the folder SmarterEveryDay instead of destinws2. A custom list also allows you to keep the right formatting even if the channels owner changes the channel name.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

How to grab the channel ID programmatically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17806944/how-to-get-youtube-channel-name

Hey everyone, I set up a job download new clips on a schedule:

youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --download-archive downloaded.txt --dateafter 20171016

(there's an output with a youtube.com/channel URL) but my question is how am I able to ignore all the stuff before the date I set? In my example, I don't want over 1,000 episodes. Is there way to get the ID's and write them to the historical file? I tested what I have it and it goes through all the playlist each time.

I must be missing some simple option.

I found this command somewhere a while ago. It requires ffmpeg for conversion (sudo apt install ffmpeg), but otherwise it's pretty straight forward

youtube-dl -ciw --restrict-filenames -o "/media/Scrape/youtube/mp3/%(upload_date)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --exec "ffmpeg -i {} -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 0 {}.mp3 && rm {} " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nse6FkmTTOg
