Intructions for use - examples of it in use? Video?

[STRAYKR]

Hi, having tried to understand how to integrate this into my Docker stack and get it working I am none the wiser. I've added it to my docker compose file, edited the file locations, created the .yml config file and amended my Sonarr server IP, and added the API key from Sonarr. It's running and I get log file entries that say it's listening every 1 minute. Now what?

Firstly you need a series that is available online in the supported sites that YouTube-DL can grab from

• So I saw the example for Slo Mo Guys in config.yml.template ... managed to find that in Sonarr and added it in Sonarr. Was it sonarr_youtubedl that adds the ability to search YouTube channels in Sonarr?

Secondly you need to add this to Sonarr and monitor the episodes that you want.

• yes, added in Sonarr and monitoring episodes for the latest season.

Thirdly edit your config.yml accordingly so that this knows where your Sonarr is, which series you are after and where to grab it from.

• yes, added my Sonarr IP and API key.

Lastly be aware that this requires the TVDB to match exactly what the episodes titles are in the scan, generally this is ok but as its an openly editable site sometime there can be differences.

• I see that the Slo Mo Guys are listed in thetvdb.com. If I want a channel that's not listed in thetvdb.com I guess I can create an account and add it?

Are there any examples of how this is supposed to work? What expected behavior is, what log entries I should see etc., troubleshooting steps? The https://github.com/whatdaybob/sonarr_youtubedl#how-do-i-use-it section is a little light on detail.

From the instructions I expected this would enable something that allows me to search in Sonarr and locate a Youtube channel, which I guess I can now do, subscribe to it and select episodes to download, which I can now see, but it now doesn't seem to download anything. Have I misunderstood the point of this container, or am I missing some configuration steps?

Very confused. Thanks.

I am facing the same "issue" I tried to register a Youtube channel that uploads korean dramas. These dramas are existing on TMDB/TVDB/IMDB so I can add them to Sonarr and excepting these to be grabbed from this script where I registered my Sonarr details, the youtube channel details too but ... nothing happens : Config :

@STRAYKR Did you get any help on this or anything ?

not sure is you guys fixed this. but uncommenting the line in the config file regarding sonarr v4 fixed this for me "# version: v4 # if running v4 beta, allows the v3 api endpoints"
