For the backup program (this only applies to windows). Rather than using a python scheduler which needs the python script to be running 24/7 (and hence to be restarted everytime the computer is restarted). You can use Windows Task Scheduler to call your script on a schedule that you set, and it will persist even with restarts.
Obviously the video is a python tutorial, but if anyone is interested in building something like the backup script I think it is a useful addition. Thanks for the great vid as always!
I feel like you're speaking directly to me in every video! Your Flask tutorials have been on my mind lately, dreaming of launching an API and the build process has been very enlightening
Thank you so much, Tim! These three examples have a lot of stuff I need in my next project, perfect for me as a quite beginner! :)
simple and clear naration, i like it
Thanks for the reinforcement for the beginners
Thanks so much Tim. I have learnt alot from your valuable content. I love the way you explained
Thank you for these amazing videos 🙏
The last project was awesome!
Thank you Tim.
i love how you explain every single line of code. University professor should start doing that lol
You are awesome! Thank you!
Sir, you are very* good at the things you do.
Tyvm for sharing. 🙏
Great video! 😀
Great video 👍🏻
thanks Tim❤
I can't believe I actually watched the entire video.
I gained a lot from it, really
Wow Tim you are gem😊😊😊
Thanks
good video Tim
Can it be used to also download the mp3 from the youtube video?
Just a small addition, if you have 2 or more mp4 types, like 720p and 1080p, it will download the 720p version all the time. I've tested this against a few online downloaders / a few videos.
Not a big issue, most of the time, but still, better to know about it :)
I want to the answer too
I did the same code in visual studio as you did, and it doesn't run, output an error that say pytube module is not defined and I did thr comand pip install pytube in pycharm and it says thats already satisfied
Hey, great video again . However, are you sure that the two lines root = tk.TK() and root.Withdraw() are needed in you script ?
Yeah, I’m also curious about it. How did tkinter library needed for this project
Well.... It doesn't open the window to choose the folder I want video to be downloaded, it just stays in run mode after typing the yt link.... It works properly only in debugging mode... Any idea why this happens?
TH-cam downloader doesn't work on Python 3.8 on Linux
Tim is using 3.9, and got version 15 of pytube.
I normally use 3.8, and its latest pytube is 12.
I get HTTP error 410 on every video I try with 3.8
I also have 3.10 installed. pip3.10 gets pytube 15.0.0, and that works correctly using python 3.10 instead of 3.8
Well we are not receiving any email verification message during sign up for currency converter API.
um.. i dont have a website url nor company name isnce im juts a beginner trying to learn python , and hubspot is asking for those 2 pieces of info, what should i do?
Just put nil
make one up. it only needs to be formatted right.
Is there a more elegant way of having the Python script running all day? Like if you run the script in the Terminal or something else maybe? I don't like the idea of having VScode open all day 24/7.
If you are on windows, imo the best way is to use windows task scheduler to schedule the script instead of a python scheduler.
Task scheduler runs in the background anyway and doesn't need to be started every time the PC restarts.
The downside is it is a windows feature; not sure if Linux has an alternative, but Mac doesnt
You can run it without vs code by using powershell or cmd to run it then keep that window open. It shouldn't really need to take up any resources. But windows scheduler is probably a better long-term solution.
I'm getting this error on the second project:
I'm using a Mac M1.
Does anybody knows how to fix it ?
same specs and problem
19:06 Why is your vscode logo able to switch color?
hey tim can you help me? ←[34m i get this instead of color changing colorama
Can someone tell me the theme name 🤔
Is anyone else getting 720p when they try this code for the TH-cam downloader? And I checked, the video I tested on had up to 1080p available.
how to install things without using pip bs?
To be honest, you should just finalize a ‘fix pip’ video rather reusing the pygame video. It’ll be short and simple but more searchable for average users.
Yes
I typed it exactly the same way you did and I can not get it to work .
Why is it called automation project
I KEEP GETTING INVALID CURRENCY AFTTER I RUN THE CODE I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT BY FOLLOWING THE VIDEO
:)
First
Can anyone solve my issue? For project 2, the youtube to mp4 convertor, it threw an error that said: "python: command not found".
Here is my code and I am working on a mac:
from pytube import TH-cam
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
def download_video(url, save_path):
try:
yt = TH-cam(url)
streams = yt.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension="mp4")
highest_res_stream = streams.get_highest_resolution()
highest_res_stream.download(output_path=save_path)
print("Video downloaded successfully.")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
def open_file_dialog():
folder = filedialog.askdirectory()
if folder:
print(f"Selected folder: {folder}")
return folder
if __name__ == "__main__":
root = tk.Tk()
root.withdraw()
video_url = input("Please enter a TH-cam URL: ")
save_dir = open_file_dialog()
if save_dir:
print("Started download...")
download_video(video_url, save_dir)
else:
print("Invalid save location.")
thanks!
It looks like you might not have Python installed. Are you using Windoze? I believe that requires you to do your own install. On my Ununtu 20.04 system, just plain "python" points to Python2: I have to type "python3" to get Python 3.8. I've read that support for Python 2 is being dropped by some. Maybe you only have Python 3?
