Fork of pocket-ruby and inem/pocket-video-downloader
Downloads N latest videos from your Pocket library.
My usage scenario:
Download last 5 videos to put them on my iPad before a long flight.
Prerequisites:
- You have to run
ruby token-server.rbwhich will get Pocket token and write it tosettings.yml - You need to hardcode the destination folder in
downloader.rb - You need to install youtube-dl.
Usage: ruby downloader.rb
Limitations
- only supports Youtube
- regex for Youtube detection is very stupid
- limit of 100 items is hardcoded, so it won't work if you have mostly articles in you library
- No error handling
Your contributions are very welcome:
What can be improved
- use separate yaml file to store access token
- accept arguments, like number of videos to download and simulation mode, and destination folder
- archive downloaded videos in Pocket
- support Vimeo
