# What is it?
This program takes the very last video published on a PeerTube instance and pushes it to a corresponding YouTube channel.
# What the status of this?
This is an early prototype not really suited for production purposes for now:
* it still relies way too much on pre-determined value to upload the video to YouTube
* it cannot determine the playlists it needs to put them in
* it cannot determine the recording date (believe me, I tried!)
So consider this a work in progress that will slowly get better with time.
# What does it do exactly?
* it retrieves the latest PeerTube video download URL from an instance
* it creates a resumable upload into the target YouTube account
* it downloads/uploads the latest PeerTube video to YouTube without using a cache (stream-to-stream)
# What doesnt it do exactly?
* it doesnt retrieve ALL the original PeerTube video properties like licences, languages, categories, etc… again: early prototype
# Obtain Authorization Token from Google
The complicated part:
* create an OAuth2.0 application with authorization for Youtube DATA Api v3 Upload and Youtube DATA Api v3 (generally referenced as `../auth/youtube.upload` and `../auth/youtube`)
* create a OAuth2.0 client with Desktop client
Youll need:
* the `client_id` from your OAuth2.0 client
* the `client_secret` from you OAuth2.0 client
Create your `tootube.toml` config file:
```toml
[peertube]
base_url="https://p.nintendojo.fr"
[youtube]
refresh_token="" # leave empty for now
client_id="<YOUR CLIENT_ID>"
client_secret="<YOUR CLIENT_SECRET>"
```
Then run:
```bash
tootube register --config <PATH TO YOUR TOOTUBE.TOML FILE>
```
Youll be then prompted with all the necessary information to register `tootube`. Youll end with a `refresh_token` that you can now paste inside your tootube configuration.
