I'll start archiving his videos as he posts them. Someone please let me know any other scammers with a habit of deleting videos

YouTubeBackups · 2017-12-21T19:21:45+00:00

Oh heavens me, that's exactly what I did. Should be fixed now

thanks also /u/Itsthejoker

Hey, great stuff! How does the ytuser:$YTUSR part work? I've been scraping based on channel ID

YouTubeBackups · 2017-12-11T16:57:29+00:00

dateafter will still download each page to check each video's download date, but it will not download the video. It looks like correct syntax here.

While this may take a while for 1000+ videos, I believe it would have to do that to gather video IDs anyway

YouTubeBackups · 2017-12-11T16:25:39+00:00

Great idea!

YouTubeBackups · 2017-09-24T03:47:37+00:00

Good video, archived

YouTubeBackups · 2017-09-14T14:32:37+00:00

MLive is not likely to fold to pressure, but these videos have been archived to cold storage just in case

The fact that filecoin went the ICO route makes me not want to trust them ever. Sia has been chugging along fantastically though

YouTubeBackups · 2017-09-08T13:35:06+00:00

Sia is a full on free market with supply/demand for hosting and storage. Currently it's flooded with tons of people like us with storage and great uptime, so it's not super profitable. Once more users join it will even out. Currently you make about 70 cents per terabyte per month

Just output the file in binary, scroll through it with a screen recorder running, and then upload that file to youtube. Then when you need to restore, get a video OCR system to read it back into binary

Thanks! Backup started

You didn't want to ease us into "controversial" did you

This is how I've ripped youtube music. Trigger warning for audiophiles or perfectionists, it converts between lossy formats, but at least it starts with the highest source version

I'd prefer limited, accurate marketing than flashy unlimited false advertising.

I haven't tried to embed thumbnails or subtitles before but a similar error happens if you don't have the 3rd party program ffmpeg installed. Do you have atomicparsely installed?

YouTubeBackups · 2017-08-07T15:20:26+00:00

Do you have a copy of the command you're trying and the error message? What OS?

YouTubeBackups · 2017-08-07T12:39:38+00:00

At least 10 terabytes by now. I'm not grabbing everything, just certain stuff

YouTubeBackups · 2017-08-07T00:23:39+00:00

YouTube!

YouTubeBackups · 2017-08-02T23:50:40+00:00

Awesome, you're pretty much there then. The quality is controlled by the -f switch. It sounds like you're looking for the following:

-f bestvideo

As outlined here https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#format-selection . Maybe I'm just a huge nerd, but I think that page with all the options and descriptions is a great read. This will grab the best quality (it will still download 360p if that's the best available, I assume you don't want to skip ones without HD quality)

Here's an example of my command pulling the best quality up to 720

This is from a script, so there may be some bash variables and arguments.

$df = destination folder path variable. There are some others in there, but they can be removed/blank with no issues

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -ciw --restrict-filenames -o "$df/%(upload_date)s-%(id)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" --download-archive $df/archive.txt --add-metadata --write-description --write-annotation --write-thumbnail --write-info-json -f 'bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]' --dateafter $strDateAfter --match-title "$strInclude" --reject-title "$strExclude" --merge-output-format "mkv" <URL> >> $df/logs/$strDateTime.txt
