# yttopodcast
|
|
Tools to convert YouTube video feeds to standard Podcast RSS feeds. A workaround is done, bouncer,
|
|
to serve files from youtube directly, rather than storing the audio files and serving them
|
|
independantly.
|
|
|
|
A web server is required to serve the RSS feed as a file, and an HTTP boucner server is used to
|
|
fetch valid links from yt. Since getting the content URLs is quite slow, the implemented bouncer
|
|
has a basic cache.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
The tools can be used standalone, imported and invoked in go code, or run with the helpers as a collection.
|
|
|
|
## yttopodcast
|
|
Generates single or multiple feeds on an interval, serves the feed files (RSS/XML), and launches a yt
|
|
link bouncer. This can be used as a complete service.
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd cmd/yttopodcast
|
|
go build .
|
|
./yttopodcast -id CHANNEL_ID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## genfeed
|
|
Generate a feed given a channel id
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd cmd/genfeed
|
|
go build .
|
|
./genfeed -id CHANNEL_ID > feed.xml
|
|
```
|
|
`feed.xml` file can be used as an RSS feed.
|
|
|
|
## ytbouncer
|
|
The bouncer uses standard go http and can be embedded. To run it standalone
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd cmd/ytbouncer
|
|
go build .
|
|
./ytbouncer
|
|
```
|
|
starts a server.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** the url resolution is quite slow and heavy computaionally, due to yt-dlp backend. It can be used
|
|
as a DoS without the use of rate limiting or other measures.
