PinTheVideo

This script searches your bookmarks on Pinboard and makes any supported videos available offline.

It uses the Pinboard API to download all of your bookmarks that have been updated since it last ran (saving the time in last_update_time.txt) and looks for any URLs that match urlPatterns in your settings file. For any matching URLs, the script calls youtube_dl to download the video. It will then mark the video with either alreadyDownloadedTag or failedDownloadedTag to prevent redownloading.

Getting Started

1. Clone this git repo.
2. Restore packages: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Edit example.yaml and add your Pinboard API token and (optionally) your pushover API token.
4. From the command line, run python PinTheVideo.py example.yaml
5. Set up a scheduled task to run the script regularly.

Options file

This file is required and contains all of the various settings required by PinTheVideo. The included example.yaml file is a good place to start.

Plex

You can add the destination directory to Plex as a library to make the videos watchable in Plex.
