DLYT/README.MD

Summary

DLYT is a video downloader that fetches videos from provided URLs or YouTube playlists using yt-dlp and ffmpeg, and organizes them into directories based on the source file of the URLs.

DLYT is primarily used for downloading and organizing videos from the internet. It operates by reading URLs from .urls files located in a directory named urls. Each URL corresponds to a video or a YouTube playlist that DLYT will download using the yt-dlp and ffmpeg tools.

DLYT first checks if a directory named urls exists. If it doesn't, it creates the directory and a default file named default.urls inside it. The user can add URLs or YouTube playlist links to this file for downloading videos.

DLYT then reads all the .urls files in the urls directory. For each URL that doesn't start with '#', it downloads the video or all the videos in the playlist. The downloaded videos are stored in a directory named videos. If the .urls file is named default.urls, the videos are downloaded directly into the videos directory. Otherwise, they are downloaded into a subdirectory of videos with the same name as the .urls file.

In summary, DLYT is a handy tool for batch downloading and organizing videos from the internet. It requires the user to provide the URLs of the videos or YouTube playlists in .urls files, and it takes care of the rest. It's particularly useful for users who frequently download videos and want an automated and organized way to do so.

Instructions for Use

1. Ensure that yt-dlp and ffmpeg are installed on your system. If not, follow the instructions provided by DLYT to install these dependencies.
2. Run DLYT. If the urls directory does not exist, DLYT will create it along with a default.urls file.
3. Add the URLs of the videos or YouTube playlists you want to download to the default.urls file or to a new .urls file in the urls directory. Each URL should be on a new line. Lines starting with '#' are considered comments and are ignored.
4. Run DLYT again. It will download the videos from the URLs provided in the .urls files and store them in the videos directory or its subdirectories.
5. Enjoy your downloaded videos!

Please remember to replace the placeholders in the URLs with actual values before running DLYT. Happy downloading!
