# Prismedia

A scripting way to upload videos to peertube and youtube

## Dependencies
Search in your package manager, otherwise use ``pip install --upgrade``
 - google-auth
 - google-auth-oauthlib
 - google-auth-httplib2
 - google-api-python-client
 - docopt
 - schema
 - python-magic
 - requests-toolbelt

## Configuration

Edit peertube_secret and youtube_secret.json with your credentials.

### Peertube
Set your credentials, peertube server URL.  
You can get client_id and client_secret by logging in your peertube website and reaching the URL: https://domain.example/api/v1/oauth-clients/local
You can set ``OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT`` to 1 if you do not use https (not recommended)

### Youtube
Youtube uses combination of oauth and API access to identify.

**Credentials**
The first time you connect, prismedia will open your browser to as you to authenticate to
Youtube and allow the app to use your Youtube channel.  
**It is here you choose which channel you will upload to**.  
Once authenticated, the token is stored inside the file ``.youtube_credentials.json``.  
Prismedia will try to use this file at each launch, and re-ask for authentication if it does not exist.

**Oauth**:  
The default youtube_secret.json should allow you to upload some videos.  
If you plan an larger usage, please consider creating your own youtube_secret file:

- Go to the [Google console](https://console.developers.google.com/).
- Create project.
- Side menu: APIs & auth -> APIs
- Top menu: Enabled API(s): Enable all Youtube APIs.
- Side menu: APIs & auth -> Credentials.
- Create a Client ID: Add credentials -> OAuth 2.0 Client ID -> Other -> Name: prismedia1 -> Create -> OK
- Download JSON: Under the section "OAuth 2.0 client IDs". Save the file to your local system.
- Save this JSON as your youtube_secret.json file.

## How To
Currently in heavy development

Support only mp4 for cross compatibility between Youtube and Peertube

Simply upload a video:

```
./prismedia_upload.py --file="yourvideo.mp4"
``` 


Specify description and tags:

``` 
./prismedia_upload.py --file="yourvideo.mp4" -d "My supa description" -t "tag1,tag2,foo"
```


Use a NFO file to specify your video options:

```
./prismedia_upload.py --file="yourvideo.mp4" --nfo /path/to/your/nfo.txt
```


Use --help to get all available options:
