Streamdeck-YT-DLP Automated

Streamdeck-YT-DLP Automated is a Python command-line utility for downloading video or audio from a URL copied to the clipboard. It's designed to be compatible with devices like a Stream Deck for easy operation.

This script interacts with your system's clipboard. While it utilizes windll calls through ctypes for a generally secure approach, there's always a potential for compatibility issues with certain programs.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your local machine:

• Python 3.5 or higher
• yt-dlp command-line utility

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

Usage

Execute the script from the command line using the following syntax:

python script_path/main.py <root_dir> <extra_subfolders> --type <download_type>

Where:

• <root_dir>: The root directory to search within.
• <extra_subfolders>: Optional extra subfolders to append.
• <download_type>: Type of download (audio or video). Default is 'video'.

For example:

python script_path/main.py "video_projects_dir" "footage_subfolder"

This command downloads a video from the clipboard URL to the most recently modified project in the footage subfolder.

python script_path/main.py "video_projects_dir" "audio_subfolder" --type audio

This command downloads an audio file from the clipboard URL to the most recently modified project in the audio subfolder.

python script_path/main.py "video_projects_dir" --type audio

This command downloads a audio file from the clipboard URL directly to the root directory specified by "video_projects_dir", ignoring any subfolders.

Replace script_path, video_projects_dir, footage_subfolder, and audio_subfolder with your actual paths and names.
