endpoint currently, the videos endpoint returns the video uploader name, and not "author1, author2, author3" as is the case for videoRenderer and playlistVideoRenderer - this might change in the future in order for the endpoints to return the same data
ythdd
Archive videos while you watch them.
ythdd is tool which can help you create a multimedia archive by downloading videos and their metadata while you watch them. It does so by acting as an intermediary between you and YouTube, forwarding your requests while also saving them to a hard drive, hence the name.
Goals
Current goal of the project: provide support for Invidious API calls through the Invidious translation layer (ythdd_inv_tl.py).
Running ythdd:
- First, download project files or clone the repository with git:
git clone https://gitea.7o7.cx/sherl/ythdd.git
- Navigate into the directory with project files:
cd ythdd
- Create a virtual enviroment:
python -m venv .venv
Above will create a hidden directory called .venv.
-
To activate the virtual enviroment use:
- on Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate- on Windows (cmd):
.venv\Scripts\activate -
Install required packages into the newly created virtual environment:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run the script:
- continuously without interrupts:
python ythdd.py- with automatic reloading (code will be reloaded after a change to the codebase)
flask --app ythdd run --debug
