Requires ffmpeg to be installed on your machine.

Usage

PyTubeMusic can download tracks in three formats:

• Tracks (Single files)
• Albums (A single video that is split up into individual tracks on an album)
• Playlists (Videos in a playlist that are downloaded as tracks on an album)

Each type of track needs a different configuration file that includes metadata. These are described below.

Note: the term "timestamp" refers to a string of the form: "H?:M:S.f?" – for example: "23:55.75", "1:12:00", "5:03", "17:00.5"

Tracks

A single video downloaded as a track

Track toml files have the following format:

url = "..."  # URL to video

cover_url = "..."  # Track cover jpg URL (optional – uses thumbnail by default)

start = "..."  # start timestamp (optional)
end = "..."  # end timestamp (optional)

[metadata]
title = "..."  # Track Name (required)
# Any other FFMPEG MP3 metadata tags

Albums

A single video that is split into separate tracks on an album

Albums require a track_data list that defines track-specific data. track_data is a list of tables that includes:

• start a start time stamp defining when the track starts in the video
• end an optional end time stamp – if not provided the start of the next track will be used of the end of the video in the case of the last track
• metadata a table of track-specific metadata – the title tag is required. Track specific metadata overwrites album metadata. Track numbers are automatically filled but can be manually added.

# album_data.toml
url = "..."  # URL here

cover_url = "..."  # Track cover jpg URL (optional – uses thumbnail by default)

track_data = [
    { start = "...", metadata = { title = "..." } },
    { start = "...", end = "...", metadata = { title = "..." } },
]

[metadata]
album = "..."  # Album name (required)
# Any other FFMPEG MP3 metadata tags

Playlists

A playlist of album tracks

For playlists, track_data is optional. If provided it must be provided for all tracks in the playlist. It has the same format as album track_data. If not provided, the title of each video will be used for each track title.

url = "..."  # URL to playlist

cover_url = "..."  # Track cover jpg URL (optional – uses thumbnails by default)

# Optional track data
track_data = []

[metadata]
album = "..."  # Album name (required)
# Any other FFMPEG MP3 metadata tags

CLI

A pytubemusic command will be exposed.

This has three commands: album, track, playlist. Each command corresponds to one of the file types mentioned above.

The commands all take the path to a config TOML file and an optional -o or --out option pointing to a directory to write the resulting tracks too. (Note: albums and playlists are put into their own subdirectory with the album name under the out directory).

For example:

pytubemusic album myConfig.toml -o exports
