Today’s goal: Turn a collection of YouTube links into a podcast.
Start with a config.json like this:
{
"brandon-sanderson": [
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4lWbkERlxo&list=PLSH_xM-KC3ZuOZayK68JAAjj5W9ShnFVC",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyaC7NmPsc0&list=PLSH_xM-KC3ZtjKTR2z8rPWxv1pP6bOVzZ",
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3V0Zok_kT0&list=PLSH_xM-KC3ZuteHw3G1ZrCDWQrAVgO0ER"
]
}
And it will automatically download all referenced YouTube videos, convert them to MP3 (both using youtube-dl), and serve an RSS feed that’s compatible with most podcast programs.
Tested URLs include:
- Playlist URLs (like the above)
- Single video URLs
- Channel URLs
Most youtube URLs should work though.
