Description

@tcely

This is unlikely to be part of this project, but anyone looking for ideas or a small project is welcome to contribute an implementation.

I found UnTube1 which was a playlist manager, so it likely has most of what this would need already coded.

Requires

  • access to a YouTube account

Provides

  • a suitable cookies file for yt-dlp to use
  • a listing of available playlists in the YouTube account
  • the playlist ID, title, last modified timestamp, and creator ID for every playlist that is available
  • the ID, description, title, availability and timestamp for every media in a playlist
  • a listing of subscriptions from the account including the channel ID

Based on this comment:

It would be great if TubeSync could implement the YouTube API and call the /subscriptions method to "sync" the user's subscriptions periodically (like once an hour or something)
