3 years ago Thanks for your interest in the project!
I don't have time to write a README right now, but I can give you a quick overview of the goal and status of this project.
First of all, this project started because I wasn't able to find a way to display channel specific emoji in messages when working on https://github.com/siikamiika/scripts/tree/master/danmaku . You might have seen it already because I've linked it to the youtube-dl issue about live chat replay archiving. Currently I'm using https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/ because the PR hasn't been merged to upstream yet.
Because of the origins, there has been a heavy focus on the live chat aspect of YouTube, but regular videos are supported as well. There is a simple channel listing simlar to https://www.youtube.com/feed/channels and channel video listing similar to https://www.youtube.com/channel/<id>/videos. The video page looks like this in action:
I'm currently in the process of moving chat from raw JSONL files to the database to allow some optimization and new features, but after that I don't have much plans for the project other than perhaps adding HLS to improve video seeking.
About licensing: see this https://github.com/afrmtbl/annotationlib/issues/13 (no license added yet)
The current readme is just the Laravel readme, and there is no license.
additions requested:
readme with overview/goals, dependencies (youtube-dl with chat replay archive? was that ever merged?), releases/status, etc
