# YouTube Playlist Downloader
# YouTube Playlist Sync
[![Build Release](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/actions/workflows/build_v2.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/actions/workflows/build_v2.yml)
[![Unit tests](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/actions/workflows/unit-tests.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/actions/workflows/unit-tests.yml)
A cross-platform tool for downloading entire YouTube playlists as MP3 or MP4 files, using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp), [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/), and [aria2](https://github.com/aria2/aria2). Includes Gitea CI/CD workflow for packaging and releasing Windows and Linux binaries.
A cross-platform tool for downloading and keeping in sync a local copy of entire YouTube playlists as MP3 or MP4 files, using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) & [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/).
Supports audio, video, or both download modes, music and videos are numbered as they are on your youtube playlist, playlist cleanup, and configurable parallel download options.
Local-first YouTube playlist synchronization client.
## New: Sync CLI (MVP)
## What’s Included
State-driven sync client is under active development. Current backend MVP includes:
- Scanner (yt-dlp extract-only), diff engine, safe renames, recycle deletions
- Async download queue (yt-dlp Python API) with simple retry
- SQLite metadata (playlist/items) and state updates on actions
Run (compute only):
```bash
python -m src.app.cli
```
Apply actions:
```bash
python -m src.app.cli --apply
```
Notes:
- Config: `config/yt-playlist-config.json` (same keys as before; `playlists[].url`, `download_mode`, `save_path`)
- DB: `app/data/app.db` (auto-created)
- Requires Python ≥ 3.10 and `yt-dlp`; `ffmpeg` recommended for audio
## Features
- **Download full YouTube playlists** as high-quality MP3 (audio), MP4 (video), or both.
- **Download mode:** Choose `audio`, `video`, or `both` for each playlist.
- **Max video quality:** Select from `720p`, `1080p`, `1440p`, `2160p`, or `best`.
- **Parallel downloads:** Using aria2 for speed.
- **Automatic renumbering:** Tracks are renumbered to match playlist order after download.
- **Cleanup of tracks:** Option to remove files not in playlist anymore, with confirmation.
- **Configurable output paths** and archive tracking.
- **Cross-platform:** Windows and Linux support.
- **GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow** for automated packaging and release.
- Scanner (yt-dlp extract-only), diff engine, filesystem scan
- Safe reordering via two-pass rename, recycle deletions
- Async download queue with simple retry (yt-dlp Python API)
- SQLite metadata; DB updates on rename/download/delete; `last_sync`
- Optional event publishing for future GUI/logs
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Python 3.10+
- `yt-dlp` (pip)
- `ffmpeg` (for audio extraction)
## Installation
## Configure
### Quick Start
1. **Download the latest release:**
- Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistDownloader/releases) page.
- Download the appropriate archive for your platform (Windows or Linux).
1. **Unzip the archive:**
- Extract the contents to a folder of your choice.
1. **Edit configuration:**
- Open `yt-playlist-config.json` and adjust paths, playlist URLs, download mode, and quality as needed.
1. **Run ytpld:**
- On Windows:
```sh
yt-playlist-main.exe
```
- On Linux:
```sh
python3 yt-playlist-main.py
```
## Usage
### Configuration
Edit `yt-playlist-config.json` to specify playlists, paths, and options:
Create/edit `config/yt-playlist-config.json`:
```json
{
"playlists": [
{
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=playlistidhere",
"download_mode": "audio",
"max_video_quality": "1080p",
"save_path": "./music",
"archive": "archive.txt",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID",
"download_mode": "audio",
"save_path": "./downloads"
}
],
"yt_dlp_path": "./bin/yt-dlp.exe", // or "yt-dlp" for Linux
"ffmpeg_path": "./bin/ffmpeg.exe", // or "ffmpeg" for Linux
"aria2c_path": "./bin/aria2c.exe", // or "aria2c" for Linux
"max_parallel_downloads": 10,
"aria2c_connections": 8
"yt_dlp_path": "yt-dlp",
"ffmpeg_path": "ffmpeg"
}
```
- **playlists:** List of playlist objects. Each must have a `url`, `save_path`, and `archive`.
- **yt_dlp_path, ffmpeg_path, aria2c_path:** Paths to binaries (relative or absolute).
- **download_mode:** Choose `audio`, `video`, or `both`.
- **max_video_quality:** Set max video quality for downloads.
- **max_parallel_downloads:** Number of simultaneous downloads.
- **aria2c_connections:** Connections per download.
## Run
---
- Compute-only:
### Running
- On Windows: `yt-playlist-main.exe`
- On Linux: `python3 yt-playlist-main.py`
- The downloader will:
- Check for required tools and update yt-dlp automatically
- Download new tracks or videos from your playlist(s)
- Number and name files to match the playlist order
- Skip deleted or private videos
- Avoid re-downloading files you've already downloaded
- Offer to clean up files that are no longer in the playlist
## CLI flags
When running the script via python (for example `python yt-playlist-main.py`), you can pass the following flags:
- `-c, --config <path>` — Path to a configuration file (relative to the repository `config/` directory by default)
- `-d, --debug` — Show verbose subprocess output (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, aria2c)
- `-p, --prune` — Run with pruning (deleting files not present in playlists)
- `-y, --yes, --non-interactive` — Auto-confirm prompts (used only with `--prune`at the moment)
Examples:
```powershell
# Run with debug output
python yt-playlist-main.py --debug
# Run non-interactive and prune
python yt-playlist-main.py --prune --yes
# Use a different config file
python yt-playlist-main.py --config custom-config.json
```bash
python -m src.app.cli
```
## Docker Usage
- Apply actions:
You can run YouTube Playlist Downloader using the official Docker image.
### Run the container
```pwsh
docker run -v /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads -v /path/to/config:/app/config ghcr.io/dark_zoul/ytpld:latest
```bash
python -m src.app.cli --apply
```
Replace `/path/to/downloads` and `/path/to/config` with your local directories.
- Single playlist (0-based index):
**Required volumes:**
- `/app/downloads`: Directory for downloaded audio/videos
- `/app/config`: Directory for the configuration file
### Docker Compose example
Create a `docker-compose.yml` with the following content (replace the host paths as needed):
```yaml
services:
yt-downloader:
image: ghcr.io/dark_zoul5/ytpld:latest
container_name: yt-downloader
restart: no
volumes:
- /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads
- /path/to/config:/app/config
```bash
python -m src.app.cli --apply --playlist 0
```
Run it with:
## Data & Layout
```pwsh
docker compose up -d
```
- Database: `app/data/app.db`
- Outputs: `<save_path>/audio` and/or `<save_path>/video`
- Recycle bin: `<save_path>/.recycle/{audio,video}`
## Docker Compose — environment variables
## Roadmap (short)
You can pass environment variables.
Environment variables
- `YTPL_DEBUG` (0/1): When set to `1` shows verbose output from external binaries (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, aria2c). Useful for diagnosing failures.
- `YTPL_PRUNE` (0/1): When set to `1` enables pruning — files that are not present in any configured playlist will be deleted (requires confirmation unless `YTPL_YES` is set).
- `YTPL_YES` (0/1): Auto-confirm prompts (use with `YTPL_PRUNE` in automated runs).
- `YTPL_CONFIG`: Path to a config file inside the container (defaults to `/app/config/yt-playlist-config.json` if present).
- `YTPL_CONFIG_JSON`: Full JSON payload for the entire config. When provided it overwrites `/app/config/yt-playlist-config.json`.
- `YTPL_PLAYLISTS_JSON`: JSON array used to populate the `playlists` field in the config.
- `PLAYLIST_{N}_{FIELD}`: Indexed playlist entries. For each playlist index N use `PLAYLIST_N_URL`, `PLAYLIST_N_DOWNLOAD_MODE`, `PLAYLIST_N_SAVE_PATH`, `PLAYLIST_N_ARCHIVE`, etc.
- `YTPL_MAX_PARALLEL_DOWNLOADS`: Integer, maximum concurrent downloads.
- `YTPL_ARIA2C_CONNECTIONS`: Integer, connections per download.
- `YTPL_MAX_VIDEO_QUALITY`: String, e.g., `1080p`, `720p`, `best`.
- `YTPL_DOWNLOAD_MODE`: `audio`, `video`, or `both` — default download mode applied to playlists that don't set it individually.
Tip
- Mount a config file for complex setups to avoid long environment variables. Example: `- /host/config/yt-playlist-config.json:/app/config/yt-playlist-config.json`.
## Troubleshooting
- **No binaries found:** Ensure paths in `yt-playlist-config.json` are correct and binaries are present.
- **No tracks downloaded:** Check playlist URL and archive file.
- **Download mode or quality issues:** Make sure `download_mode` and `max_video_quality` are set to valid values.
- **Network overload warning:** If you set very high parallel/connections, the script will warn you.
