Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v1.1.0

Published

An application that will download a playlist from Youtube, and if specified, convert it to .mp3.

Downloads

Readme

YouTube Playlist Downloader

youtube-playlist-dl driver for node

NPM

Download entire playlists from youtube, then convert them to .mp3 format in node.js using youtube_playlist_dl.

The majority of this is done using the youtube-dl package, however I was able to make it much simpler to utilize if all you need to do is download and convert the playlist to .mp3

Usage

This is the entire example app that I have written for you.

NOTE: You need to make sure that you have ffmpeg installed.

var yt_playlist = require('../lib/youtube-playlist-dl.js');

// Starts the count for the playlist size. 
var j = 1;

console.log('--------------------------------------------------------');
console.log('[INFO] GATHERING VIDEOS FROM SELECTED PLAYLIST');
console.log('--------------------------------------------------------');

var options = {
    playlistUrl : "PLRBp0Fe2GpgmsW46rJyudVFlY6IYjFBIK", // The playlist id. url: "playlist?list=..."
    mp4Directory : "../files/mp4s/",
    mp3Directory : "../files/mp3s/"
}

yt_playlist.retrievePlaylist(options, 1, j);
Install

npm install youtube-playlist-dl

Bugfixes:

  • If the video title contained any special characters, the video would fail to download and convert properly. Altered the regex to include any special characters, disregarding the dash character -
