Installation

youtube uploader requires Node.js v10+ to run.

Environment

enviornment variables for now create .env file in root directory

EMAIL="your@email.com"
PASSWORD="your_password"

Installing dependencies and running in development

npm install
npm run dev --videos-dir=/absolute/path/to/the/video/containing/folder

edit index.ts file in src directory

  let video = new Video({
    title: d.name.length <= 100? d.name: d.name.slice(0,100) ,
    localPath: entry,
    madeForKid: false,
    visibility: 'public',
    playlist: 'your playlist',
    tags: ['your tag']
})

d and entry here passed by generator function that is looping through your directory. d hold the refernce to current file and entry path to the file.

you can add your logic here for adding dynamic playlist name I've kept my videos in nested folder so that my folder's name is video playlist(😎)

Note

It can upload bunch of video at once. If you find any sort of error while running feel free report a new issue
