Download audo and video files with an XMPP interface.

This bot has two main modes of operation:

1. Send the bot an Youtube link, it downloads the video to a pre-set directory on your server. Add videos to your collection on the go.
2. Send the bot an Youtube link, it extracts audio and sends you an MP3 file via XMPP (HTTP upload). Fetch MP3 files to your mobile even when Newpipe fails you.

1. Install: xmpppy, requests and yt_dlp.

    sudo apt install python3-requests
    sudo pip3 install yt_dlp
    sudo pip3 install xmpppy
   

2. Create an XMPP account for your bot. (Use a server which supports XEP-0363 HTTP Upload.) Consult https://compliance.conversations.im/

3. Copy settings.py-example to settings.py and edit the file.

4. Run the script

   python3 bot.py
   

5. Set up a cron job to update youtube-dl

   43 7 * * * pip3 install --upgrade yt-dlp
   

6. Optionally: make it run on startup. Systemd file is attached, for other process supervisor systems: PRs welcome.

Log into your XMPP bot's account and add your main account to the roster. Only people from the roster are allowed to use the bot.

Send the bot a link from your XMPP client. The bot supports an impressive number of video hosting websites via youtube-dl: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

It's single threaded. Downloading more than one video at once will cause unpredictable effects. httpupload currently not working
