Quickly import YouTube subscriptions into Glance from a Google Takeout export

[ThibautPlg]

Hi,

This is more a guide/help to import a lot of YouTube subscriptions into the video Glance widget. While not that complex, I wrote that guide for a friend lately and thought it would belong here.
Maybe that can be added to the Videos configuration doc with a better phrasing and/or improved with playlist and such.

Anyway:

First, make a Google Takeout export

• Go to https://takeout.google.com/
• Click "Deselect all"
• Scroll down to Youtube and Youtube Music, check it
• Click on "All Youtube data" or approaching text (my account isn't in english to be sure!)
• Untick everything but "Subscriptions"
• Continue until you end up with a zip file.

Then,

• Unzip the file
• Browse into the arborescence until you find a "subscription.csv" file
• Extract all channels IDs, and add correct spacing for later import into glance.

while read abo;   
do echo "            - " $abo|cut -d ',' -f1;
done < subscriptions.csv|tail -n +2

This will output a bunch of lines starting with 12 spaces. This is intended, as you only have to paste all those lines into page.yaml next to channels: line.
eg:

[your page.yaml content]
      widgets:
        - type: videos
          channels:
            -  UC-4wDjsZQtFexample1
            -  UC-4wDjsZQtFexample2

Depending on your exact yaml file, maybe 12 spaces isn't ideal, so change accordingly.

Hope that helps!
