The tool downloads the entire set of public videos from a given channel, publishes them to LBRY and populates our private database in order to keep track of what's publishes.
With the support of said database, the tool is also able to keep all the channels updated.
- lbrynet SDK https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases (We strive to keep the latest release of ytsync compatible with the latest major release of the SDK)
- a lbrycrd node running (localhost or on a remote machine) with credits in it
# Setup
