# 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`
|
|
|
|
