Download videos from YouTube (and similar video platforms) and add them to IPFS.

Reason this release was yanked:

Actually, still no IPFS 0.8.0 support in latest py-ipfs-http-client release.

Project description

Download videos from YouTube (and similar video platforms) and add them to IPFS.

Based on youtube-dl and py-ipfs-http-client.

Requirements

Installation

Latest published version:

$ pip install youtube2ipfs

Bleeding edge:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/dokterbob/youtube2ipfs

It accepts multiple URL's, as well as channels and playlists. Multiple files will be added to the same top-level directory. Subtitles will also be downloaded and metadata is added to the video file.

For more details, use the --verbose or -v option (once or twice). A custom IPFS node can also be specified.
