+# yt-dlp config - downloading entire youtube channels for archival
+
+# Readme
+
+This repo contains a config file which makes it easy to download entire youtube channels, and also update them without having to re-download existing videos.
+
+Update 2022-09: It has been a while since [youtube-dl](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) was updated, so I have updated all the commands and config to use the current most popular youtube video downloader: [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).
+
+# Usage
+
+Edit channel urls in `yt-dlp-channels.txt`.
+
+The empty file `yt-dlp-archive.txt` is used to store downloaded video ids.
+
+## Linux
+
+    chmod +x download_archive.sh
+
+Run using `./download_archive.sh`
+
+## Windows
+
+Run `download_archive.bat`
+
+## Thanks
+
+Thanks to https://www.reddit.com/user/Stephen304 for creating the original config, on the since deleted post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/858ny5/my_youtubedl_config_downloading_entire_channels/
