youtube_playlist_to_podcast

This utility generates a podcast stream on Huffduffer from a playlist on YouTube. It does this by downloading the video, extracting and tagging the audio, uploading the audio to your Dropbox account and posting the audio file to your Huffduffer account. Nerdy? Yes!

Prerequisites

• Ruby (tested on mri 2.1.1p76)
• Bundler rubygem
• Homebrew

Setup

• Clone or download repository
• From source directory, run ./setup
• Edit settings.private.yaml. See Configuration section.

Configuration

Here is an example configuration.

playlists

You can define as many playlists as you want. In the example you will see 2 playlists defined:

The first playlist is watching a user-defined playlist with no filters (all videos will be processed) and is set to save the video file to dropbox as well (this is defaulted to false)

The second playlist will watch The Dice Tower's Top 10 Playlist. It will filter out the Mage Wars, Summoner Wars, and Smash Up top 10 videos
