### 3. Add Your Channels
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the `channels:` section:
|
||||
**Where to find channel URLs:** From Odysee.com (the main LBRY frontend)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Finding Channel URLs on Odysee
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1: Direct from Channel Page (Easiest)**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open your web browser and go to https://odysee.com
|
||||
2. Use the search bar to find the channel you want (e.g., "Technology", "Documentaries", "Music")
|
||||
3. Click on the channel name or logo to go to the channel page
|
||||
4. Look at your browser's address bar - you'll see something like:
|
||||
- `https://odysee.com/@TechChannel:1`
|
||||
- `https://odysee.com/@DocumentaryFilms:2`
|
||||
- `https://odysee.com/@MusicChannel:5`
|
||||
5. Copy this entire URL
|
||||
6. Paste it into your config.yaml file
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2: From a Video Page**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Watch any video from the channel you want to download
|
||||
2. Click on the channel name below the video title
|
||||
3. This takes you to the channel page
|
||||
4. Copy the URL from the address bar
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 3: From Search Results**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Search for content on Odysee
|
||||
2. Look at the channel name next to each video
|
||||
3. Click on the channel name
|
||||
4. Copy the URL from the address bar
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example Channel URLs
|
||||
|
||||
Popular channels you might want to download:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
channels:
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@SomeChannel:1"
|
||||
# Technology channels
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@LinusTechTips:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# Educational content
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@veritasium:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# News/Commentary
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@Timcast:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# Documentaries
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@DocumentaryLab:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### URL Formats Supported
|
||||
|
||||
You can use any of these formats in your config:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
channels:
|
||||
# Full Odysee URL (recommended - easiest to copy from browser)
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@ChannelName:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# LBRY URI format
|
||||
- input: "lbry://@ChannelName#1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
# Short form (without protocol)
|
||||
- input: "@ChannelName:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Just copy-paste the full Odysee URL from your browser - it's the easiest and most reliable method!
|
||||
|
||||
#### Edit the Config File
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have your channel URLs, add them to the config:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Open the config file
|
||||
nano ~/Documents/lbry-downloads/config.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add your channels under the `channels:` section:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
channels:
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@YourFavoriteChannel:1"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
tags_include: []
|
||||
tags_exclude: []
|
||||
|
||||
- input: "lbry://@AnotherChannel#5"
|
||||
- input: "https://odysee.com/@AnotherChannel:5"
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
tags_include: []
|
||||
tags_exclude: []
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Finding Channel URLs:**
|
||||
- Go to Odysee.com and navigate to a channel
|
||||
- Copy the URL from your browser
|
||||
- Paste it into the config
|
||||
|
||||
