YouTube Playlist Sync

This small script aims to synchronize YouTube playlists on a local machine.

Playlists can then be transefered elsewhere, for example to a smartphone using BitTorrent's Sync.

It is intended to be run periodically (eg with cron).

Installation

> pip3 install git+https://github.com/dryvenn/youtube_playlist_sync

Usage

> youtube_playlist_sync

Configuration

As the script doesn't support any authentication, make sure all playlists are either 'Public' or 'Unlisted'.

The script will look for a configuration file named youtube_playlist_sync.ini under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or if this variable is not defined under ~/.config.
