🤖 Mr-Myter-v0.2.0-alpha (Automated Mass YouTube Uploader)

📜 History

As mentioned on my GitHub profile, I am also a YouTube Content Strategist, Manager, and SEO Specialist. I found myself regularly uploading YouTube videos in bulk, scheduling them, and ensuring that everything from the titles to the descriptions and tags are perfect for SEO. To optimize my workflow and save time, I decided to put my Python programming skills to the test and created this tool. This allows me more free time to focus on creating more content and improving my strategies.

📝 Project Summary

Mr-MYTer is an automated tool for bulk video uploads to YouTube.

Key features include:

• Automated video and thumbnail uploads
• Batch processing
• Error handling and status updates
• Option to restart after completion

Using Selenium WebDriver, it simulates user actions in YouTube Studio, streamlining the upload process for content creators. This tool saves time for those who regularly upload multiple videos to YouTube.

🛠️ Requirements

• Python 3.10 or later
• Chrome Browser installed
• pip (Python package installer)
• Required Python packages:
  • selenium
  • python-dotenv
  • webdriver-manager
• A .env file in the project root your YOUTUBE_STUDIO_URL set

🚀 Steps to run

1. Install Python 3.10 or later.

2. Install the required packages:

   In Powershell:

   pip install selenium python-dotenv webdriver-manager

   Or

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file in the root of the project with the following:

   YOUTUBE_STUDIO_URL="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/..your-channel-id.."

4. Add the all videos and thumbnails you want to upload to the videos folder.

   The folder should look like this:

   youtube-uploader     <- project root directory
   │ 
   ├── .env               <- environment variables
   ├── LICENCE            <- licence
   ├── README.md          <- Project README
   │ 
   ├── src                  <- source code directory
   │   ├── main.py            <- main script
   │   └── utility            <- modules directory 
   │ 
   └── videos               <- videos directory
       ├── video1.mp4         <- your video1 file
       ├── video1.jpg         <- your thumbnail1 file
       ├── video2.mp4         <- your video2 file
       ├── video2.png         <- your thumbnail2 file
       ├── video3.mp4         <- ...
       └── ...                <- ...
   

5. Rename videos and their corresponding thumbnails with the same name of the title you want to give the YouTube video.

6. Navigate to the root folder of the project and start Powershell.

7. Run the following command to start the script:

   python .\src\main.py

🔄 Process Steps

1. Starts Chrome with remote debugging enabled.
2. Initializes the WebDriver and navigates to the YouTube Studio URL.
3. Checks for video files in the specified folder.
4. For each video file:
   a. Navigates to the YouTube Studio upload page.
   b. Clicks the "Create" button and selects "Upload videos".
   c. Uploads the video file.
   d. Renames the video with the filename (without extension).
   e. Uploads the thumbnail if a matching one is found.
   f. Waits for processing and prepares for the next video.
5. After uploading all videos, asks the user if they want to exit or restart the process.
6. If restarting, the script goes back to step 3.
7. If exiting, the script closes the WebDriver and terminates.

Note: The script handles various exceptions and provides status updates throughout the process.
