## youtube channel archiver

project im working on a bit

## stuff todo/have done

### gotta finish

- [ ] create and write `/convert/api.py` 

- [ ] create and write `/convert.py`

### future

- [ ] create pip package so you can just `python -m yt_archiver 'channel id'`

    - [ ] create way for the user to create/bypass the `config.py`

        - can be done if enough of `yt_data` is saved then you can just call that data and no api

        - for ffmpeg and api they will be prompted but for just normal downloading if the data is stored there will be no prompt

    - [ ] add more options to that like the following

        - [ ] -cl `compression - local` then they will be prompted with either simple or advanced after downloading

        - [ ] -cvl `convert - local` they will be given the prompt with telling them to use mp4, mov etc (using `ffmpeg`)

        - the next ones will be done in the future 

        - [ ] -ca `compression - api` 

        - [ ] -cva `convert - api` 

- [ ] add html, js and css code so the user can use the application better

(pls request things to do)

### finished

- [X] make setup.py:

    - downloads needed packages, gets needed data from user.

- [X] add a fast way to convert videos to different file types:

    - using `ffmpeg` basically all video file types are supported.

- [X] allow the user to change settings:

    - running `setup.py` again will let you change settings.

- [X] add video optimazation:

    - allowing the user to do api video optimization with `Freeconvert.com` video optimization (needs api key, not good for big channels).

    - also letting the user do local optimization using `ffmpeg`.

- [X] show user information:

    - using `psutil` and `platform` to get storage, os, other drives.

- [X] improve video download speed:

    - using the concurrent fragments `ydl_opts` and setting it to `5`.

- [X] optimize youtube api calls:

    - saving called data locally then calling it when the user calls the same channel id.

- [X] clean code up:

    - seperated the functions in `archiver.py` into group files.

- [X] prevent youtube bot detection:

    - when detected the code will retry then if it fails again it will change the user agent.
