I’m trying to help a friend of mine. He’s a professor and had thousands of videos of his teachings and classes on two channels of YouTube. He doesn’t trust YouTube anymore and wants to move (or at least make a copy of) his videos to my PeerTube instance.
I searched about bulk import and found some issues on github, like Automatically import videos from other platforms #754 and Bulk import from YouTube #3054. Also found this document: Automatically import videos a remote channel or playlist. However, in my instance (version 7.2.1) I didn’t see « Synchronizations » button when I clicked Channel button in the left. I’m not sure if I need to configure it somewhere, or the document is just a bit old and the UI (or even the feature) has changed.
I tried to use the playlist URL when importing, but it just imported the first video without any video details like name or descriptions.
Any help, like pointing out where the related documents are, or how to sync a youtube channel, or any way to directly import a playlist, will be appreciated.
