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 LBRY_CHANNEL_NAME YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID
  • 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:

*/10 * * * * (/bin/ls /tmp/ | /bin/grep -q ytsync && /usr/bin/find /tmp/ytsync* -mmin +20 -delete) || true
