Youtube-Downloader-Autosplit v2

Simple command prompt app I created (Python 3.7.3) to easily download and split full albums into separate tracks from youtube

This has only been tested on Windows 10! This supports videos of arbitrary length, the only bottleneck is your internet speed.

Installation

There are two ways to install.

1. Automatically using setup.exe under: https://github.com/Panagiotis-Zachos/youtube-downloader-autosplit/releases

2. Μanually by following the steps under requirements (recommended).

Common Usage

In cmd type:

python PyVidSplit -u(--URL) [VIDEO_URL] -o(--output) [Output Directory] -t(--type) [Output File Type]

If no [Output Directory] is given the Music directory will be used

If no [VIDEO_URL] is given the programm will try to read from the clipboard. So you can copy the URL and just run "python video_download"

If no [Output File Type] is given the default is .opus

If you use the installer replace "python PyVidSplit" with "PyVidSplit.exe" without the "

The programm will first try to parse the video description to find a tracklist, along with the start time of each track. If that fails it will try to read from 'song_list.txt' that you need to create yourself using the following format:

{Title1} {StartTime1}

{Title2} {StartTime2}
