YT-Archiver

[NOT COMPLETE]

A small CLI-based program for downloading and archiving YouTube videos.

Features

• Supports single video downloads
• Supports bulk video downloads (from file)

How To Use

Single Video Download

Single video downloads only need a single URL, and a PATH to download the video to. The program will then create a folder named after the video title in the supplied path.

Bulk Video Download

Bulk video downloads needs the path to a '.txt' file containing 1 or more YouTube video URLs. These URLs need to be on separate lines such as this:

youtube.com/URLForVideo1

youtube.com/URLForVideo2

youtube.com/URLForVideo3

The program will then read the file, and for each of the lines in the '.txt' file it will attempt to download each video.

The program also needs to be supplied a PATH to download to, the program will then create a folder named after the video title in the supplied path.
