# watch.accords-library.com Provides to Accord's Library the tools to archive videos on multiple platforms, most notably YouTube using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) It also downloads ffmpeg and ffprobe for audio-video post-processing. The videos and other files (metadata, live chat, comments, sub files, thumbnails) are stored in `public` which needs to be accessible from the internet. ## Setup ```bash git clone https://github.com/Wayback-Tube/Wayback-Tube-DL.git cd watch.accords-library.com sh install.sh ``` ## YouTube Add the videos IDs or URLs to archive in `youtube/batchfile.txt` Use the extension `get Cookies.txt` on your Browser to retrieve credentials that yt-dlp can use to bypass age restrictions. Possibly use a burner account. Then place that `cookies.txt` in the `youtube` folder Then run ```bash ./download.sh ``` Or alternatively just give the video ID as a parameter ```bash ./download.sh VIDEOID ``` That's it! ### Result The resulting archive is composed as follows: - The video, in the highest quality possible for the audio and video (limited to codex compatible with the MP4 container format). - Highest quality thumbnail, saved as WebP - A `.live-chat.json` file containing an archive all the YouTube live chat - A `.info.json` file containing most if not all metadata publicly available about the video (duration, uploader, channel_id, tags, available qualities...) - A `.vtt` file for each subtitle language available. ## Import archives to Strapi Create a .env.local file with the following information: ```txt URL_GRAPHQL=https://path.to.strapi.com/graphql ACCESS_TOKEN=token_generated_by_strapi ``` Then run the script using: ```bash python3 importToStrapi.py ```
