Current YT Sync Process

• make sure you have a clean .lbryum dir (delete existing dir if there's nothing you need there)
• 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 undoubtedly get
• 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.
