A small script used to download videos from a number of playlists using youtube-dl.
You initialise a folder to hold a specific playlist, which then stores a config file in that directory that holds the playlist details.
Once this has been done, sync can be run on a directory, and all directories under that holding a config file will have their videos downloaded and updated.
This allows to keep an updated local copy of a large number of playlists easily.
Clone the repository
Set up a folder to store your playlist details with
yps.py --init <playlist url> --dir <folder>
Then sync it and download all the videos with
yps.py --sync <folder>
youtube-dl handles if you need to download a video or not and supports download resuming.
yps.py uses -i for youtube-dl to ignore errors yps_auth.py uses a cookies.txt file to authenticate e.g. to Youtube/Google
