# yt2podcast

Turn a YouTube channel into a podcast channel using yt2podcast and listen audio tracks using your favorite podcast player.

Tested with:

  - Podcast Addict on Android (works)

  - gPodder on Linux (works)

  - iTunes on Mac (does not work) - probably the XML needs more tags to satisfy iTunes

How to use:

  1. Build the package.

  2. Create a json file named `config.json` that specifies how podcast clients connect to the podcast server:

      ```

      {

        "Hostname": "your.domain.name",

        "port": "8080"

        "MaxYTStorageBytes": "How much data to keep in the YouTube storage folder. Value set in bytes."

      }

      ```

  3. Get YouTube API credentials from your GCP account and save them to `client_secret.json`.

  4. Run the application.

  5. Copy the username or channel ID of the YouTube channel that you want to listen to and add the following link in your podcast player:

  		- `http://your.domain.name:port/api/ytchan/`

  		- for example, CGP Grey, which can be found at `https://www.youtube.com/user/CGPGrey` would be used as `http://your.domain.name:port/api/ytchan/CGPGrey` or `http://your.domain.name:port/api/ytchan/UC2C_jShtL725hvbm1arSV9w`

      You can also add a playlist directly by adding `http://your.domain.name:port/api/ytplaylist/`

  6. Note: You will need to authenticate your application with the YouTube servers after adding a channel or playlist, so keep an eye on the console where the application was launched.
