This python program periodically checks youtube for new videos in a users subscription feed. It will then move it to a designated folder with a video thumbnail and a channel poster.
This was designed to work with Plex and this plugin and this Scanner
Please download and install both if using with Plex.
Download here https://github.com/Dannyman3819/Automatic-Youtube-Downloader
Follow the install instructions on github carefully
Also when I had all the videos downloaded I setup Plex to keep the 5 latest episode. I recommend you do this as well. Goto a show > edit > advanced > keep
I first created this for my self because I wanted to have some youtube videos auto download to my phone, but youtube red doesn’t have a auto download feature. With this using Plex Sync I was able to have these videos anywhere. I figured this program might be useful to some of you so I decided to share it. With that said I won’t be available 24/7 to help with issues because I have work and college to do but I will try my best to help with any issues.
Here is a screenshot of how my library looks!
NOTE: this program isn’t perfect there will be bugs and issues
Buglist:
- On some random channels the vidoes will be grouped - This is an issue with the scanner, Only fix for now is to try to ‘Fix Match’
