Installation (Linux):
Install yt-dlp and ffmpeg (optionnally, install atomicparsley), it's required for embedding thumbnails into m4a files).
Download the latest release and follow the included ReadMe, do not use the master branch unless you are ready to re-download EVERYTHING.
Installation (Windows):
Setup Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and follow the Linux installation.
Detailed setup instruction need to be added to the documentation.
Why: Because Windows is using a path length limit of 260 characters, and because of the work required (and the fact that the Windows version was untested when it existed), Windows users needs to use the scripts in WSL. WSL bypass the path length limit so every video will get downloaded, however when playing it with a native Windows software the path length issue might be an issue, I can't do anything about that.
Usage:
Create a folder where you want your videos downloaded in a drive where you have enough space available.
Put the folders Archivist Scripts, Audio-Only Scripts and Watch Scripts in the created folder (See the documentation to understand the differences).
Add content to a 'Source - XXXXXX.txt' file depending of what type of content you want to download (See the documentation to understand the differences).
Open a terminal in the folder of the script you want to use and run ./[SCRIPT].sh.
Done.
