A python application for downloading video and audio from YouTube. Downloaded files will have a small amount of metadata appended to improve browsing experience in media players.
This project requires the following external dependencies:
All other dependencies can be installed through pip3, the python package manager bundled with python3.
Before running you will need to install project dependencies through pip3:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
You can run the yget library as an application with the following command:
python3 -m yget [options...] [file]...
For example:
python3 -m yget a-file-full-of-links-to-download.txt
Standard input (stdin) is supported in any of the following ways:
python3 -m yget [options...]
python3 -m yget [options...] -
python3 -m yget [options...] < a-file.txt
yget can also be used to extract a single URL or playlist with:
python3 -m yget -u rdwz7QiG0lk [options...]
or a bookmarks file, such as the one exported from Google Chrome, with:
python3 -m yget -b my-exported-bookmarks.html [options...]
For all the options available, see:
python3 -m yget --help
A small amount of automated testing is included in this project and can be run with:
./run_tests.sh
or
./run_coverage.sh
If you are interest in further configuring any of the testing, peek inside the above files.
The automated testing included is not exhaustive.
