I need to get the video dimensions of some videos using there urls on python. Can some one help me?
You can do this using the pafy library:
import pafy
url = "https://www.youtube.com / watch?v = **id**"
video = pafy.new(url)
streams = video.allstreams
stream = streams[7]
value = stream.dimensions
print("Dimension : " + str(value))
Stream is basically the available resolution of the video.
so i made a small script that converts a youtube vidoe to an audio then downloads it but i have a small problem..
i want to loop my code and it wont break untill i close it . i want it to ask me again to enter new link
from pafy import new
link = input("Enter the video link: ")
video = new(link)
best = video.getbestaudio()
filename = best.download(filepath="C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\MP3 Downloader\\Downloads")
im a beginner to python and any feedback will help me :)
You can use while loop as below to keep it continue
import time
while True:
link = input("Enter the video link: ")
video = new(link)
best = video.getbestaudio()
filename = best.download(filepath="C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\MP3 Downloader\\Downloads")
time.sleep(5)
Maybe you should add a loop if you want it to loop ;). For instance :
from pafy import new
from time import sleep
while 1 :
link = input("Enter the video link: ")
video = new(link)
best = video.getbestaudio()
filename = best.download(filepath="C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\MP3 Downloader\\Downloads")
sleep(1)
I have a problem with pytube when use YouTube
from pytube import YouTube
url = str(input("Youtube video url :"))
youtube = YouTube(url)
stream = youtube.streams()
video.download(0)
this error shows
AttributeError: 'YouTube' object has no attribute 'download'
and when I use playlist
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRfY4Rc-GWzhdCvSPR7aTV0PJjjiSAGMs')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
playlist.download_all()
Shows the same error
AttributeError: 'Playlist' object has no attribute 'download_all'
You need to get the first stream from the Stream of the YouTube object that you created. If you look at the documentation you could have know this.
Try this for downloading the video:
from pytube import YouTube
url = str(input("Youtube video url :"))
youtube = YouTube(url)
youtube.streams.first().download()
For the playlist try this:
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRfY4Rc-GWzhdCvSPR7aTV0PJjjiSAGMs')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
# Loop through all videos in the playlist and download them
for video in playlist.videos:
video.streams.first().download()
Youtube function doesn't have function "download" i.e using Youtube we cannot download a video.
Eg:
yt = YouTube(url).download()
#output = error
Only using streams we can download a video. It is not needed to import stream.
Eg:
yt = YouTube(url).streams.download()
#output = success
I created script which one downloading video and sound from Youtube, and after that merging sound and video with ffmpeg, i wondering is another way to make same result but in faster way? Because this script takes about 7 min ~ depends on Video quality and duration. My code bellow:
from pytube import YouTube
import sys
import ffmpeg
import os
class Downloader(YouTube):
def __init__(self, link):
self.link = YouTube(link)
self.hq = []
self.best_video = []
self.best_sound = []
def stream_objects(self):
q = [self.hq.append(x) for x in self.link.streams.all()]
self.best_video.append(str(self.hq[1]).split()[1].split('\"')[1])
self.best_sound.append(str(self.hq[-1]).split()[1].split('\"')[1])
return self.best_video, self.best_sound
def downloady(self):
vid = self.link.streams.get_by_itag(str(self.best_video).strip("['']"))
audio = self.link.streams.get_by_itag(str(self.best_sound).strip("['']"))
self.vid_title = (f"{vid.title}"+".mp4")
vid.download(filename='video')
audio.download(filename='audio')
print('Downloaded, Now Starting Merge \n\n\n\n\n')
print(f'{self.vid_title}'+'\n')
def merge(self):
ffmpeg.output(ffmpeg.input('video.mp4'), ffmpeg.input('audio.webm'), self.vid_title).run()
os.remove('video.mp4')
os.remove('audio.webm')
if __name__=='__main__':
a = Downloader(link = sys.argv[1])
a.stream_objects()
a.downloady()
a.merge()
OKE UPDATE:
Now code looks like that..Second problem is slow downloading mp4 files from YouTube server, i have 10Gb/s internet. Good connection with YT servers, but why so poor downloading ? ? ? :)
from pytube import YouTube
import sys
import ffmpeg
import os
import subprocess
class Downloader(YouTube):
def __init__(self, link):
self.link = YouTube(link)
self.hq = []
def stream_objects(self):
self.best = self.link.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4')
q = [self.hq.append(x) for x in self.best.all()]
self.best_vid_itag = str(self.best.all()[1]).split()[1].split('\"')[1]
self.best_audio_itag = str(self.best.all()[-1]).split()[1].split('\"')[1]
def downloader(self):
vid = self.link.streams.get_by_itag(self.best_vid_itag)
aud = self.link.streams.get_by_itag(self.best_audio_itag)
print('Donwloading Video file...\n')
vid.download(filename='video')
print('Video file downloaded... Now Trying download Audio file..\n')
aud.download(filename='audio')
print('Audio file downloaded... Now Trying to merge audio and video files...\n')
def merger(self):
lin = str(self.link.title).rstrip()
lin2 = (lin+'.mp4')
subprocess.run(f'ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp4 -c copy "{lin2}"', shell=True)
os.remove('video.mp4')
os.remove('audio.mp4')
print('Done....\n')
if __name__=='__main__':
a = Downloader(link = sys.argv[1])
a.stream_objects()
a.downloader()
a.merger()
First of all you download a video file and audio file with different encoding
In your case it is mp4 and webm
You should for example download an mp4 video and m4a audio
Or a webm video and a webm audio
Then it comes to ffmpeg, you should pass a parameter “-c copy”
Example for ffmpeg comand line:
ffmpeg -i myvideo.mp4 -i myaudio.m4a -c copy output.mp4
Here is a link to a python project on github use same technique
https://github.com/pyIDM/pyIDM
Check video.py file
Further explanation:
When you use “-c copy” parameter, ffmpeg will just copy the audio track and merge it with video provided that both audio and video has same codec container, this process take less than 2 seconds
Otherwise it will process every frame in video and every bit in audio then convert them to a desired format, which takes very long time
I am looking to download a YouTube playlist using the PyTube library. Currently, I am able to download a single video at a time. I cannot download more than one video at once.
Currently, my implimentation is
import pytube
link = input('Please enter a url link\n')
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
stream = yt.streams.first()
finished = stream.download()
print('Download is complete')
This results in the following output
>> Download is complete
And the YouTube file is downloaded. When I try this with a playlist link (An example) only the first video is downloaded. There is no error outputted.
I would like to be able to download an entire playlist without re-prompting the user.
You can import Playlist to achieve this. There is no reference to Playlist in the redoc, though there is a section in the GitHub repo found here. The source of the script is in the repo here.
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58PpYacL-VQ&list=UUd6MoB9NC6uYN2grvUNT-Zg')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
playlist.download_all()
NOTE: I've found the supporting method Playlist.video_urls does not work. The videos are still downloaded however, as evidenced here
The solutions above no longer work. Here's a code which downloads the sound stream of the videos referenced in a Youtube playlist. Pytube3 is used, not pytube. Note that the playlist must be public for the download to succeed. Also, if you want to download the full video instead of the sound track only, you have to modify the value of the Youtube tag constant. The empty Playlist.videos list fix was taken from this Stackoverflow post:PyTube3 Playlist returns empty list
import re
from pytube import Playlist
YOUTUBE_STREAM_AUDIO = '140' # modify the value to download a different stream
DOWNLOAD_DIR = 'D:\\Users\\Jean-Pierre\\Downloads'
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzwWSJNcZTMSW-v1x6MhHFKkwrGaEgQ-L')
# this fixes the empty playlist.videos list
playlist._video_regex = re.compile(r"\"url\":\"(/watch\?v=[\w-]*)")
print(len(playlist.video_urls))
for url in playlist.video_urls:
print(url)
# physically downloading the audio track
for video in playlist.videos:
audioStream = video.streams.get_by_itag(YOUTUBE_STREAM_AUDIO)
audioStream.download(output_path=DOWNLOAD_DIR)
if one needs to download the highest quality video of each item in a playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZclsCzhzt4&list=PLk-w4cD8sJ6N6ffzp5A4PQaD76RvdpHLP')
for video in playlist.videos:
print('downloading : {} with url : {}'.format(video.title, video.watch_url))
video.streams.\
filter(type='video', progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').\
order_by('resolution').\
desc().\
first().\
download(cur_dir)
this code allows you to download a playlist to your assigned folder
import re
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=Pd5k1hvD2apA0DwI3XMiSDqp')
DOWNLOAD_DIR = 'D:\Video'
playlist._video_regex = re.compile(r"\"url\":\"(/watch\?v=[\w-]*)")
print(len(playlist.video_urls))
for url in playlist.video_urls:
print(url)
for video in playlist.videos:
print('downloading : {} with url : {}'.format(video.title, video.watch_url))
video.streams.\
filter(type='video', progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').\
order_by('resolution').\
desc().\
first().\
download(DOWNLOAD_DIR)
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6gx4Cwl9DGCkg2uj3PxUWhMDuTw3VKjM')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
for video_url in playlist.video_urls:
print(video_url)
playlist.download_all()

I'm using pytube3 9.6.4, not pytube.
Now Playlist.video_urls works well.
And Playlist.populate_video_urls() function was deprecated.
from pytube import YouTube
from pytube import Playlist
SAVE_PATH = "E:/YouTube" #to_do
#link of the video to be downloaded
links= "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLblh5JKOoLUL3IJ4- yor0HzkqDQ3JmJkc"
playlist = Playlist(links)
PlayListLinks = playlist.video_urls
N = len(PlayListLinks)
#print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(PlayListLinks))
print(f"This link found to be a Playlist Link with number of videos equal to {N} ")
print(f"\n Lets Download all {N} videos")
for i,link in enumerate(PlayListLinks):
yt = YouTube(link)
d_video = yt.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first()
d_video.download(SAVE_PATH)
print(i+1, ' Video is Downloaded.')
You can check this repository to download playlists and individual videos and keep them in different directories.
https://github.com/pushpendra050/Pytube-for-Playlist-download
this work for me in windows 11 or 10.5
Original code: Jean-Pierre Schnyder
import re
from pytube import Playlist
DOWNLOAD_DIR = input ("Download dir")
playlist = input ("Link:")
playlist._video_regex = re.compile(r"\"url\":\"(/watch\?v=[\w-]*)")
print(len(playlist.video_urls))
for url in playlist.video_urls:
print(url)
for video in playlist.videos:
audioStream = video.streams.get_highest_resolution()
audioStream.download(output_path=DOWNLOAD_DIR)
Though it seems like a solved problem, but here is one of my solutions which may help you to download the playlist specifically as video of 1080P 30 FPS or 720P 30 FPS (if 1080P not available).
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeo1K3hjS3uvCeTYTeyfe0-rN5r8zn9rw')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
# Loop through all videos in the playlist and download them
for video in playlist.videos:
try:
print(video.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4'))
stream = video.streams.get_by_itag(137) # 137 = 1080P30
stream.download()
except AttributeError:
stream = video.streams.get_by_itag(22) # 22, 136 = 720P30; if 22 still don't work, try 136
stream.download()
except:
print("Something went wrong.")
This works for me. Just takes the URLs in the playlist and downloads them one by one:
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('URL')
print('Number of videos in playlist: %s' % len(playlist.video_urls))
for video_url in playlist.video_urls:
print(video_url)
urls.append(video_url)
for url in urls:
my_video = YouTube(url)
print("*****************DOWNLOAD VID*************")
print(my_video.title)
my_video = my_video.streams.get_highest_resolution()
path = "PATH"
my_video.download(path)
print("VIDEO DOWNLOAD DONNNNE")
import pytube
from pytube import Playlist
playlist = Playlist('plylist link')
num = 0
for v in playlist.videos:
print(v.watch_url)
one = pytube.YouTube(v.watch_url)
one_v = one.streams.get_highest_resolution()
name = f"{0}" + one_v.default_filename
one_v.download()
num = num + 1
Download all playlist
This works flawlessly to download complete playlist
check pytube github to install
pip install pytube
