Changing Default Channel

PeerTube
1

Hi. How do I use the following script and have the videos go into a channel of my choosing instead of the user’s default channel?

Thank you.

$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
    -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
    -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
    --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
    --target-url 'TARGET_URL'

hi Dan

Which script?

Sorry.

$ node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
    -u 'PEERTUBE_URL' \
    -U 'PEERTUBE_USER' \
    --password 'PEERTUBE_PASSWORD' \
    --target-url 'TARGET_URL'

The script is documented with its options at https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/tools.md#peertube-import-videosjs

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I read it already. My problem is that I have a user x that uses this script to import a Youtube channel to their Peertube channel. If you run it, it will place the videos in the Peertube user’s first channel that was created. This user has multiple channels and wants to direct the videos to go to another channel and not the primary channel.

Is there a way to do that? The script doesn’t seem to have an option to specify what channel you want to import the videos to.

It seems you are looking for the -C option.

edit: This is not the script you are using, but I think it does the same.

Thank you. I tired this script and the -C option but it doesn’t seem to work. I’ll keep on searching. But thank you for letting me know the options for this script. :slight_smile:
