YTSync Tool

Build Status

This tool serves Odysee to parse youtube channels that want their content mirrored on the LBRY blockchain.

The tool downloads the entire set of public videos from a given channel, publishes them to LBRY and populates our private database in order to keep track of what's publishes. With the support of said database, the tool is also able to keep all the channels updated.

Requirements

  • lbrynet SDK https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-sdk/releases (We strive to keep the latest release of ytsync compatible with the latest major release of the SDK)
  • a lbrycrd node running (localhost or on a remote machine) with credits in it
  • internal-apis (you cannot run this one yourself)
  • python3-pip
  • yt-dlp (pip3 install -U yt-dlp)
  • ffmpeg (latest)

Setup

  • make sure daemon is stopped and can be controlled through systemctl (find example below)
  • extract the ytsync binary anywhere
  • create and fill config.json using this example

systemd script example
