Plex download archive

You can tweak this to download as much or as little of the content as you'd like. Next, I point youtube-dl to a text file containing a list of all content that I've already downloaded using the --download-archive parameter, which youtube-dl will automatically maintain for me.

Because I am limiting my downloads to the last two weeks, I did need to pre-populate this text file with all of the historical content to avoid having to scan through thousands of videos on each run of the script. Next, I specify a format for where to store the downloaded content and what to name the files and directories, instruct youtube-dl to embed metadata, and to write a thumbnail image as well.

This data will be used by the personal media scanner and agent to help Plex index the content. Finally, I specify a "batch file," which contains a list of channels that I want to download content from. After an initial run that I performed manually, I scheduled the script to run every four hours, and now my Plex server is my central location for my YouTube content.

Plex is not providing links to pre version 1. Take a look in your application data folder. There should hopefully be a folder called updates. Previous version can be found in that folder.

Unless you changed the application data location, they should be here:. Plex needs a proper download archive, esp. Does anyone have a good link for Windows PMS version 0. I downloaded it, just to take a look. It has Plex digital signature and is the exact size of the same version in my updates folder.
