yt-dlp config - downloading entire youtube channels for archival

Readme

This repo contains a config file which makes it easy to download entire youtube channels, and also update them without having to re-download existing videos.

Update 2022-09: It has been a while since youtube-dl was updated, so I have updated all the commands and config to use the current most popular youtube video downloader: yt-dlp.

Usage

Edit channel urls in yt-dlp-channels.txt.

The empty file yt-dlp-archive.txt is used to store downloaded video ids.

Linux

chmod +x download_archive.sh

Run using ./download_archive.sh

Windows

Run download_archive.bat

Thanks

Thanks to https://www.reddit.com/user/Stephen304 for creating the original config, on the since deleted post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/858ny5/my_youtubedl_config_downloading_entire_channels/
