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 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 doesn’t it do exactly?

• it doesn’t retrieve ALL the original PeerTube video properties like licences, languages, categories, etc… again: early prototype

General usage

Once you fill your tootube.toml config file (see below), you can run tootube like this:

tootube --config tootube.toml --playlist playlist_1 "Things You Might Like"

You can turn on debug using env var RUST_LOG.

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

You’ll need:

• the client_id from your OAuth2.0 client
• the client_secret from you OAuth2.0 client

Create your tootube.toml config file:

[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:

tootube register --config <PATH TO YOUR TOOTUBE.TOML FILE>

You’ll be then prompted with all the necessary information to register tootube. You’ll end with a refresh_token that you can now paste inside your tootube configuration.
