Uploading Videos

For new videos.

  • A webdav client is required and the login username is gnuMims and the password is the same as the YouTube ones.
• Simply place a new video in the NewUploads directory.
• The NewUploads directories are monitored, simply copying a file to them will automatically upload, name, tag and playlist the files in the live YouTube channel.
• The progress will be logged.
• The video will be moved to CompletedUploads (overwriting any existing video of the same name).
• If placed in a playlist folder then the video will be added to that playlist.

For videos already or manually uploaded to YouTube.

• YouTube allows a video owner to download their videos in a nice compact mp4 format.
  • Go to My Videos -> next to the video there is a dropdown menu -> Download MP4.
