Queue up Youtube downloads through youtube-dl over NNCP.
Go 1.13 or higher is necessary to build yt-nncp. In order to build
yt-nncp simple run:
make
This invokes the Go compiler to generate a binary, then strips debug information from the binary.
yt-nncp -pipe <fifo>
yt-nncp will open the named pipe <fifo> for reading from. Each
line that is read from the named pipe is parsed as the following:
<dest node> <media url> <<quality>>
where <quality> is optional and can be either best, worst,
medium, or bestaudio. An optional parameter -max can be passed
which controls the maximum number of simultaneous downloads
ongoing. By default this is set to 3 but can be changed.
Make sure to set the environment varables if needed:
NNCP_PATHfor the path tonncp-fileif it is not already in your path.NNCP_CFG_PATHfor the path to your NNCP node config if it's not at the default path.
Further flags are available by running yt-nncp -h
This bot requires a named pipe to exist which it can read from to
queue up media downloads. fifo-recv.sh is a simple script which
first appends the value of the envar NNCP_SENDER onto the start of
the line and then takes stdin, as fed by NNCP, and appends that to the
line. This should allow NNCP nodes which can run exec handles to be
able to call this script and queue up downloads.
No status updates are sent about whether the download has started or what progress has elapsed during the download. It should be fairly simple to incorporate an NNCP sendmail handle to periodically send progress updates, but as of yet, this does not exist.
