YT Sync Process

• make sure you don't have a .lbryum/wallets/default_wallet
  • delete existing wallet if there's nothing you need there, or better yet, move it somewhere else in case you need it later
• make sure daemon is stopped and can be controlled with systemctl
• run lbry ytsync YOUTUBE_KEY YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID LBRY_CHANNEL_NAME --max-tries=5
  • max-tries will retry errors that you will probably get (e.g. failed publishes)
• after sync is complete, daemon will be stopped and wallet will be moved to ~/wallets/
• now mark content as synced in doc

Running the sync command for a channel that was already started will resume the sync. This can also be used to update a channel with new content that was put on Youtube since the last sync.

Add this to cron to delete synced videos that have been published:
