yt_upload's Introduction

Youtube Uploader

This program allows you to upload a whole folder to youtube with a single command.

Some string coloring are used so it may prints strange characters on non POSIX shells.

You should be somewhat familiar with youtube (or google) API and know how to create a token.
call the script python upload_folder.py with or without arguments

if no argument is provided, it will use the current folder as the playlist name.

possible arguments are :

-d or --directory: absolute path to the directory

-p or --playlist: the already existing playlist_id you want to use. The playlist id is simply the URL of the playlist : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=THIS_IS_THE_PLAYLIST_ID
The script will search for mkv videos in the directory. (next feature : all valid formats). It will also look for a file named description.txt. If found, its content will be added to the youtube video description.
It will ask confirmation, to avoid basic mistakes, showing you the list of videos from the folder.
A second confirmation will ask you if you want to filter the videos. If you say yes, you will be able to select which video you want to upload specifically.
Videos will be uploaded in their name order.
Some confirmations are printed, showing you what happened.

I made an alias ytu which activate my virtual environment and start the script with all passed parameters.

$  ytu -d /my/video/folder -p MYplaylistID

Uploader un dossier complet et créer une playlist directement bien rangée avec mes paramètres par défaut
