Known Issues

  • Windows has a hard limit of 260 characters for the filepath. This can cause issues with video downloading. It is recommended that you make your filepath as short as possible.
  • If you are receiving a permission denied error when attempting to execute python, this thread may be helpful.

Required Software

In order to run these scripts, the following software packages must be installed:

  • Cygwin, Git Bash, or some other application that enables Bash functionality in Windows.
  • Python 3
  • yt-dlp - Make sure this is in your PATH.
  • ffmpeg - Make sure this is in your PATH.
  • atomicparsley (optional) - Make sure this is in your PATH.

Configuration

First, make sure that all dependencies are installed and your PATH is configured properly by opening your Bash terminal of choice and executing the following:

  • python --version
  • yt-dlp --version
  • ffmpeg --version

If all of the above commands execute correctly, download the latest release and follow the "Usage" section of this README.
