A self-hosted application that lets you create podcast RSS feeds from YouTube playlists.

What Does This Do?

Takes a list of YouTube playlists and:

  • Downloads all the videos in audio only format (best quality)
  • Generates an RSS XML feed and writes it to a file so that the audio files can be used/read by podcast apps

The generated RSS XML file is located at podcasts_path/playlist_title/podcast.xml.

If the playlist title has special characters, p2p makes the name safe for filesystems, so will change and/or remove special characters from the directory name. To get the directory name, the easiest way is to either ls your podcast directory or look in the logs.

What Does This Not Do?

This does not actually host the downloaded/created files, you will need a static web server for that, I reccomend Caddy or nginx.

The directory you want to serve is the same one that you put as the podcasts_path config variable.

Once you have that setup you can simply put the URL to each generated podcast.xml into your chosen podcast app, for example https://podcasts.example.com/test/podcast.xml where test is the name of the directory that p2p saved a podcasts data to.

Running & Config

The requirements in requirements.txt need installing first, you can do this your own way or by doing pip install -r requirements.txt.

Run p2p with python main.py, or see below for Docker.

Once running p2p will check for playlist updates once every 24 hours.

p2p will look for a config.yaml file where it is run, if running in Docker you will want to mount it in /app, like so:

-v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro

Here's what the contents should look like:

# The URL that you are going to be hosting the podcast files at.
host_base_url: "https://podcasts.example.com/"

# The path (either on your system or inside the Docker container) that will contain the podcast data.
podcasts_path: "/podcasts"

# The list of playlists to download and host. MUST be playlist URLs, NOT video URLs.
podcasts:
  - "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTLwdZqDsAvtGmVvJqRS2czLq2YZ_ZHPJ"

Docker

Example run command:

docker run -d --name p2p --restart unless-stopped \
    -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml:ro \
    -v $(pwd)/podcasts:/podcasts \
    psidex/playlist2podcast

Don't forget if you're using the Docker build, podcast_path in config.yaml should reference the path inside the container, not outside it.

  • thumbnail generation error

    thumbnail generation error

    Searching thumbnail url I got KeyError:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/playlist2podcast/main.py", line 217, in <module>
        main()
      File "/home/playlist2podcast/main.py", line 212, in main
        p.update()
      File "/home/playlist2podcast/main.py", line 91, in update
        self.feedify(pod)
      File "/home/playlist2podcast/main.py", line 157, in feedify
        pixel_count = thumb["height"] * thumb["width"]
    KeyError: 'height'
    

    I thing this happens because something changed in Youtube API. Anyway pod.playlist_meta["thumbnails"] contains:

    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 900, 'width': 900}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'id': 'avatar_uncropped', 'preference': 1}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 175, 'width': 1060, 'preference': -10}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 188, 'width': 1138, 'preference': -10}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 283, 'width': 1707, 'preference': -10}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 351, 'width': 2120, 'preference': -10}
    • ...
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 1080, 'width': 1920, 'preference': -10}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'height': 1192, 'width': 2120, 'preference': -10}
    • {'url': 'https://...', 'id': 'banner_uncropped', 'preference': -5}

    As you can see not all thumbnails contain 'height' and 'width'.
