# TheFrenchGhosty-s YouTube-DL Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Require youtube-dl : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
|
||||
**Require youtube-dl : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl and ffmpeg**
|
||||
|
||||
The ultimate collection of scripts for YouTube-DL
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage :
|
||||
|
||||
Install [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) and ffmpeg
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Create a folder where you want your videos downloaded
|
||||
|
||||
Put the folders in it
|
||||
|
||||
Add content to one 'Source - XXXXXX.txt' files
|
||||
|
||||
Open a terminal in the folder of the script you want to use
|
||||
|
||||
`$ ./[SCRIPT].sh`
|
||||
|
||||
Done
|
||||
|
||||
## Channels, Playlists, Videos Scripts?
|
||||
|
||||
Three different type of scripts are included depending of what you want to download, the only thing changing is the naming scheme
|
||||
|
||||
`Channels.sh` : Made to download everything made by a creator (naming scheme: `Uploader/Uploader - 20191231 - Title/Uploader - 20191231 - Title.ext`)
|
||||
|
||||
`Playlists.sh` : Made to download playlists made by a creator (naming scheme: `PlaylistName - Uploader/20191231 - Title/20191231 - Title.ext`)
|
||||
|
||||
`Uniques.sh` : Made to download individual videos made by a creator (naming scheme: `Title - Uploader - 20191231/Title - Uploader - 20191231.ext`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Archive and Active Scripts?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Downloading and archiving "live" content is complicated, especially because gigabytes of it will be created each day.
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that I chose to separate the content:
|
||||
|
||||
Archive Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created before December 31, 2018 (included).
|
||||
|
||||
Active Scripts: Scripts that will download everything that was created after January 1, 2019 (included).
|
||||
|
||||
These dates will need to be incremented every year June 1 and the content created by the active scripts will need to be moved to the archive (including the `archive.log` that will need to be merged). Why June 1? Because if you increment it in January 1, the active "collections" won't have any content anymore.
