TheTechGame Video Uploader

TheTechGame Video Uploader 0.1 by Brian Leek.

About

This is a script created in Python with Selenium that downloads videos from YouTube and then uploads them to TheTechGame. This script only uploads one video at a time to respect TheTechGame rules and to prevent spamming.

Installation

1. Download or clone the GitHub repo.
2. Run setup.sh. This will install all the needed Python dependencies that are in requirements.txt file and setup config.py for you.
3. That's it! Now run python main.py and enjoy.

Usage

Run main.py then the script will ask you for the ID for the video on YouTube you would like to download. Example of a video ID looks like: dQw4w9WgXcQ. Then a few things will happen after you input the ID:

1. The script will use YouTube DL to download the video.
2. After the script will go to TheTechGame.com and login with the set info.
3. Then the script will open the submit video page and enter the required info.
4. Submits the video and exits the script.

That's it! It isn't the fastest method or the best but it works.

Options

Enabling Headless Mode

By enabling headless mode you can run the script in the background well your doing other things with no broswer window in the way. To enable headless mode just open config.py and find headless = False and change it to True. This really hasn't been tested.

Disable Images

By setting disable_images to True in config.py the script will not load images on TheTechGame when it goes to login and submit a video. Keep in mind for the config.py file to be created you need to run setup.sh if this your first time running the script.

Custom Video Descripion (TheTechGame)

If you would like to use your own description for the video you are submitting to TheTechGame open config.py and set custom_desc to True. After, set your descripion in video_desc_ and save. Now the script will use that descripion instead of the one from YouTube. Keep in mind for the config.py file to be created you need to run setup.sh if this your first time running the script.

Change Video Category

If you would like to select a different video category for the video your are submitting to TheTechGame open config.py and find ttg_html_video_cat_number and change the number to the category you want. Keep in mind for the config.py file to be created you need to run setup.sh if this your first time running the script.

Custom Broswer Profile

If you would like to set a custom broswer profile to keep you login to TheTechGame open config.py and set custom_user_dir to True and set the path to the profile in browser_user_dir. To stay signed in to TheTechGame run the script once with the profile to allow it to signin to TheTechGame then after set ttg_already_loggedin to True in config.py. This will skip going to the signin page everytime the script runs. Keep in mind for the config.py file to be created you need to run setup.sh if this your first time running the script.

Update TheTechGame Login

When you first setup the script with setup.sh it will ask for your login info and uses that but if you want to update it after just open config.py and find ttg_username and ttg_password and update your login there.
