[GET] Bulk Youtube Downloader and Meta Extractor

Bulk Youtube Downloader Bot



I'm sharing part of my bot that I think will benefit a couple of people looking to quickly download videos and scrape the meta information on Youtube.

All the tags and video locations are stored in a csv file, and can quickly be called using Imacros or ubot when uploading.

If you know what your doing with any of these 2 softwares then you can also create your uploader to use the annotations or captions to place your links on top of your videos when uploading.

Like I said this is just part of my complete script which does all of the downloading, watermarking, and uploading. Sorry guys i can not share it all. But I figure if you really need to automate the entire process you can find a way.

I have tested this on multiple computers, and the only OS that seemed to have a problem was Windows XP. So if your running XP this may not work for you.

Instructions:

Download and extract the entire "Youtube Uploader" folder to your documents folder.

Next open the folder and click on Youtube Downloader Bot. If your running Windows Vista or Windows 7 you may want to right click and run it as administrator to keep from getting the prompts.

Once the bot is open you will see 2 scripts...

Youtube Url Scraper:

The Youtube Url Scraper can be used to quickly gather the url of videos to be downloaded.

Extract & Download:

This is where you can download and extract the meta information for each video.

The bot should be pretty easy to figure out from here. So just run it and have fun.

Requires NET Framework 3.5

mediafire

megaupload

for all the users here... if you want to make a bet to see the percentage... I am pretty sure I will win my man
a little lower then 50 maybe

I'm running XP with sp3 and it works fine for me...

Be sure to place the folder you download into your 'My Documents' folder. If you don't you will get an error. The path is hard coded into the script...

By the way, thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for!

Where are the videos saved? Can't find them.
And which .csv file do i have to choose? or must i create one?

thanks

Yeah the downloader quit working in this bot since YT changed something. It shouldn't take me long to post a fix, so just check back by tonight or tomorrow.

aight! would be awesome! thanks

ye it's good, but would be better when the video downloading works

Youtube Downloader & Meta Scraper Bot 1.2 (Updated)



The bot was not working when downloading videos due to youtube changing a few things. This has now been fixed in this version. Also you should now be able to run this bot from any location on your computer, just make sure to extract the entire folder.

To the 2 people who messaged me asking that I would include the watermarker and uploader scripts to this version I decided not to, sorry guys I just feel somethings I have to keep for myself.

Run it and let me know if you have any problems or suggestions.

Thanks!

That's strange cause I downloaded the file to make sure it was working and it is. I'm also using FF.

Can you provide a little more detail explaining whats not working?

Thanks!

That was odd, it's working now.
Downloading it at the moment. Thanks for the share.
Will let you know of any bugs that I may encounter.

Don't know why but the download doesn't work. It alway redirects me to the mediafire page. I'll try with IE now.

Don't know why but downloading videos still doesn't work for me.

I do the following:
enter keyword, set pages to scrape etc.
press on the arrow, then after scraping i get the urls.

Now i press on "download and uploading" and enter urls.
I activate the checkbox "download video"
And i set the location for save data.
Then i press on the arrow.

It always tells me "in queue : 24"
completed : 0

it doesnt download. It just moves from one video to another, but nothing happens.

What shall i do?

after a while it tells me: Status : Done.
But nothing happened. No videos, no scraped meta tags.

It works..

I'm downloading all my scraped videos..

Nice.
