"VTPP" (for "Video-to-Private-Podcast) is a Raspberry Pi application with two main components:

1. a "fetcher" which downloads videos from external sources(s)¹ and extracts their audio.
2. a database of these downloads which is dynamically served as a podcast feed.

Together, this enables me to automatically generate a podcast feed of audio from the latest videos of a select handful of youtube channels.

For me it's been surprisingly useful!

I'm not yet interested in publishing the source for anyone else to use because:

1. I haven't built it for anyone else to use so it's still held up with metaphorical scotch date and paperclips in some places that I don't think would be pleasant for anyone to use
2. The source isn't "good enough" to warrant reading even for educational purposes
3. The source really isn't that interesting. It's mostly a wrapper around sqlite and youtube-dl, just packaged in a UX that works for me.

Nevertheless I'm proud of it.

I haven't made any updates in a few years, but just in case the sun ever shines on this codebase again, I'll keep a log of all past and future updates here:

• Update v0.2.0
• Update v0.1.0
