#!/bin/sh #A script that checks multiple youtube and bitchute channels for new videos to download via youtube-dl #This script works considerably faster than just giving youtube-dl a channel URI. #The YouTube implementation now uses a YoutubeData API v3 key to work more reliably. #This can be quite quota taxing, as each channel search is 1% of the allotted qutoa for the day. #-> checking n YT channels => n% of daily quota required to run this script #Keep this in mind when running it as a cronjob #Either insert this key in plain text below at the variable "APIKEY" or do it via ENV vars or a password manager #Since bitchute still doesn't have an API I'm using lynx to emulate a user. #This can limit the number of recent videos available. For a whole download of bitchute channels consider other methods first. #For youtube the videos per channel are limited to the last 500 uploaded videos. For the rest you can just use youtube-dl itself #needed if run as cronjob XDG_VIDEOS_DIR=$HOME/vids #TODO ADJUST FOR PERSONAL USE HERE! export XDG_VIDEOS_DIR DLARCHIVE="${XDG_VIDEOS_DIR:-$HOME/Videos}/.downloaded" DLLOC="${XDG_VIDEOS_DIR:-$HOME/Videos}" #FORMAT OF CHANNELSFILE: #Youtube: include the channel URI: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ #Bitchute: normal channel URI: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/ #Lines starting with '#' will be ignored in this file CHANNELSFILE="${XDG_VIDEOS_DIR:-$HOME/Videos}/.channels" BLACKLIST="${XDG_VIDEOS_DIR:-$HOME/Videos}/.blacklist" # Required to display notifications if run as a cronjob: DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/$(id -u)/bus export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS export DISPLAY=:0.0 XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/alex/.local/share # Required to have pass work if run as cronjob export PASSWORD_STORE_GPG_OPTS="--homedir=$XDG_DATA_HOME/gnupg" export GTK2_RC_FILES="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/gtk-2.0/gtkrc-2.0" [ -d "$HOME/.local/share/password-store" ] && export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR="$HOME/.local/share/password-store" APIKEY="$(pass show Misc/Youtube\ Data\ API\ v3 | head -n1 )" LEGACYMODE=$1 #set to anything nonzero to ignore YT API [ -n "$LEGACYMODE" ] && printf "Using YT Legacy fallback mode...\nThis is less reliable than the API requests.\nOnly expect to find the last 5 videos or so per channel\n" if [ "$(pgrep -c ripper)" -gt 1 ]; then echo "Ripper already running, exiting new instance..." exit fi echo "Scanning for new Videos to download" ##YOUTUBE echo "Scanning on Youtube..."
