To use this script you will need to put RSS feeds from the Youtube channel you want in 'rss.txt'. You can find the RSS feed of a channel by opening the source code of the Youtube page on the channel. It is in a link tag with the title 'RSS', the link should look like the example in 'rss.txt'. You can also put URL of Youtube playlists in 'playlist.txt' and it will download every video in the playlist. RSS feeds from Youtube give the last 15 videos from a channel, when the script run it will check those videos and download the ones it never downloaded. When running the script you can add the argument --download_folder and a path to choose the folder where the videos will be downloaded. It is recommended to run this script in a scheduled task on Windows or a cron job in Linux in order to fully automatized it.

This script was written and tested with Python 3.11 in a Windows environment but should work with older Python 3 versions and in a Linux environment.
