To process and upload a YouTube video, use the following command:
python main.py [YouTube URL]Replace [YouTube URL] with the URL of the YouTube video you want to upload to LBRY.
If you plan to integrate Vid2LBRY into a web app, you can use the main.py script as a backend service. You can submit the YouTube URL from your web app to the backend, and Vid2LBRY will process and upload the video to LBRY in the background. Make sure to handle any errors or responses from the backend accordingly in your web app.
