Running the script

Note: This script keeps track of which videos it has uploaded before by adding a .complete file in the video directory of videos it has uploaded. To re-upload videos, delete the .complete file.

To run the script, run:

python main.py --file <path/to/csv/file.csv> --videosdir <path/to/videos/directory>

The script takes the following arguments --file - The location of the csv file paths. Multiple files can be specified. The script will combine all the csv files and sort them by release date. --videosdir - The directory where the videos are stored. Only one source directory is allowed. --limit (Optional) - The number of videos to upload. --offset (Optional) - The number of videos to skip initially.

While the script is running, check here or here to monitor progress.
