# ytplay

A Python CLI tool to interact with the YouTube API and manage playlist information. Created to sort playlists by video time, but it has more stuff too.

## Installation
```sh
uv tool install ytplay
ytplay playlist sort
# or
uvx ytplay playlist sort
```

## Setup

### Set Up Google API Credentials

1. **Create a Google Cloud Project**:
   - Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)
   - Create a new project

2. **Enable YouTube Data API v3**:
   - Go to APIs & Services > Library
   - Search for "YouTube Data API v3" and enable it

3. **Create OAuth 2.0 Credentials**:
   - Go to APIs & Services > Credentials
   - Create OAuth client ID (Desktop application)
   - Download the JSON file and rename it to `client_secrets.json`
   - Use `ytplay auth config add /path/to/client_secrets.json` to copy it to the config directory

4. **Add Test User** (Important):
   - Go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen
   - Add your Gmail address as a test user

## Configuration

The tool supports flexible configuration through environment variables and command-line options:

### File Locations

**Default locations:**
- Config directory: Platform-specific application data directory:
  - Windows: `%APPDATA%\ytplay\` (e.g., `C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\ytplay\`)
  - Linux: `~/.config/ytplay/` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ytplay/` if set)
  - macOS: `~/.config/ytplay/` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ytplay/` if set)
- Client secrets: `<config_dir>/client_secrets.json`
- Token file: `<config_dir>/youtube.dat`

**Environment Variables:**
```bash
export YTPLAY_CONFIG_DIR="/path/to/config"              # Set config directory
export YTPLAY_CLIENT_SECRETS="/path/to/secrets.json"    # Set client secrets path
export YTPLAY_TOKEN_FILE="/path/to/token.dat"           # Set token file path
```

**Command-line Options:**
```bash
ytplay --config-dir /path/to/config playlist list           # Set config directory
ytplay --client-secrets /path/to/secrets.json auth login    # Set client secrets path
ytplay --token-file /path/to/token.dat auth status         # Set token file path
```

**Check Current Configuration:**
```bash
ytplay auth config show    # Show current file locations and status
```

**Add Configuration Files:**
```bash
ytplay auth config add /path/to/client_secrets.json    # Copy client secrets to config directory
ytplay auth config add /path/to/file.json --name custom.json  # Copy with custom name
ytplay auth config add /path/to/file.json --force      # Overwrite existing file
```

**Configuration Priority:**
1. Command-line options (highest priority)
2. Environment variables  
3. Default locations (lowest priority)

### Troubleshooting

**Error: "client_secrets.json not found"**
- Make sure you've downloaded and renamed the OAuth credentials file
- Verify it's placed in the `config/` folder: `config/client_secrets.json`

**Error: "Access blocked: This app's request is invalid"**
- Make sure you've added your Gmail address as a test user in the OAuth consent screen
- Verify you're using the same Google account that you added as a test user

**Error: "The OAuth client was not found"**
- Double-check that you've enabled the YouTube Data API v3 in your Google Cloud project
- Make sure you're using the correct Google Cloud project

> [!NOTE]  
> - **API Quota Limits**: The YouTube Data API v3 has daily quota limits (10,000 units per day for free projects). Large playlists or frequent usage may hit these limits.
>
> **Watch Later Playlist**: Cannot access or manage the "Watch Later" playlist as it's not accessible via the YouTube API. For that you can pray and use a [browser script](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts?q=watch+later+sort) or extension.
>
> **Playlist limits**: A playlist can have a maximum of 5,000 videos AFAIK.
