Trying to import a whole YT channel via CLI

[girish]

Just testing this out now.. Classic warning:

[girish]

I have pushed a fix, the plugin installs now. But I don't know if the plugin itself works, please test. The plugin hasn't been updated in a while, so YMMV.

@girish tried the plugin but alas it doesn't work, maybe it's too old and/or doesn't work with LDAP and/or I'm doing something wrong....

I guess we have to wait for native support as you wrote earlier.

Tried with LDAP user:

@imc67 thought as much PeerTube has seen a lot of changes since the plugin was last published.

@girish

I can't get it to install but something totally weird is happening on my instance, since last month, since I the last time I came here, my instance is auto uploading the target channel I initially managed to configure but it does not make sense because the plugin is not installed...??.?

log file : https://paste.armada.digital/cageyixumu.md

I don't have any LDAP errors, I'm wondering if this is even related?

[rmdes]

I restarted the app, tried to install again, it works !

[rmdes]

Trying to understand what's the purpose of the admin/pass login for this feature, anyone knows ?

[doodlemania2]

@rmdes That seems suspect - if this is a test instance, feed in your peertube admin u/p to see if that's what it is looking for.
I'd be cautious of giving a plugin prod creds like that.

[girish]

Might be best to investigate the code at https://zeteo.me/gitea/Outils-PeerTube/peertube-plugin-auto-import-ytb . I think maybe because it's the only way to call peertube's api (with username/password).

So, @jordanurbs @rmdes have either of you now successfully imported a YouTube channel into a Cloudron instance of PeerTube (either using CLI or a plugin)? If so, how did you do it? thanks!

[rmdes]

@jdaviescoates Yes the plugin works just fine for me !
you can see it at work here : ukrainewararchive.eu/
