MyTube

This project started out as a way for me to expand my python3 knowledgebase. It started with the utilities YouTube-DL and pytube. However, I quickly found myself limited by these tools. Additionally, after YouTube changed the way channels were named (@ChannelName), pytube seemed to break. I'm not sure if this was the thing that broke it, but it forced me to start searching for an alternative, which is when I stumbled upon the aptly named pytubefix.

I started using this fork, but due largely to my ignorance with Python, and a feeling of intimidation, I paired the use of pytubefix with yt-dlp, a YouTube-DL fork.

I was using pytubefix to read the channel or playlist, and putting desired results in an array, to be later processed by yt-dlp. Redundant, I know.

Over time, I grew more confident, and thus worked myself up to doing everything with pytubefix, and re-encoding things with FFMPEG.

To my utter delight, it all works exactly as I would have hoped.

I'm still a beginner, and I humbly request any critiques you might have on how I can improve this project!

Thanks!
