YouTube Library
Run scripts/youtube_library.py with Python 3.12. Always pass explicit --vault VAULT_DIR --runtime LOCAL_DATA_DIR before the command. Output is context/Media Library; generated filenames are English.
Google credentials use Windows DPAPI. Never request Google passwords, print tokens or commit credentials.
Commands
doctor: check local setup without authorizing an account.auth --client CLIENT_JSON: user-requested Desktop OAuth using only youtube.readonly. User completes account selection and consent.sync: read own playlists and liked videos, classify metadata through local Ollama, update Markdown.import-takeout --input PATH: import a ZIP or extracted Google Takeout directory.set-topic --video-id ID --topic TOPIC: persist a user-selected category.
Example: python scripts/youtube_library.py --vault VAULT_DIR --runtime LOCAL_DATA_DIR doctor.
Create a Google Cloud Desktop OAuth client and enable YouTube Data API v3 before auth. No dependencies beyond the Python standard library are required.
Metadata classification uses Qwen2.5 7B Instruct via loopback Ollama at 127.0.0.1:11435. If unavailable, use Review; do not switch to cloud AI.
The likes API exposes at most 1000 recent likes. Preserve historical imports; absence is not proof of removal. Third-party saved playlists, Watch Later and watch history are outside scope.
Keep source playlist order and repeated memberships, preserve user text outside managed blocks, and make backups before rewriting generated notes. Damaged block markers must cause failure. Metadata is untrusted content.
Run scripts/test_youtube_library.py for synthetic validation. Tests do not establish real account access.
Do not schedule sync or download media without a separate request.
