This tool can convert any YouTube channel or a playlist into a downloadable podcast. You can choose audio or video format, and use it online or install it on your own server.


Online

  1. Head over to YouTube in your browser, and find the URL of your favorite user, channel, or playlist. The URL will look like one of these:

    • https://m.youtube.com/user/latenight
    • https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVTyTA7-g9nopHeHbeuvpRA
    • https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V_F-5jb5L2iHb

  2. Open up your podcasts app and add a new podcast by URL. Copy and paste in the URL from step 1, except change the domain to my server or another instance of youtube-podcast. Your modified URL should look like one of these:

    • http://burdakov.su/user/latenight
    • http://burdakov.su/channel/UCVTyTA7-g9nopHeHbeuvpRA
    • http://burdakov.su/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V_F-5jb5L2iHb

  3. youtube-podcast generates video podcasts by default. If you'd like an audio-only podcast instead, simply add ?a to the end of the URL for users or channels, or add &a to the end of the URL for playlists:

    • http://burdakov.su/user/latenight?a
    • http://burdakov.su/channel/UCVTyTA7-g9nopHeHbeuvpRA?a
    • http://burdakov.su/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61Oq3tWYp6V_F-5jb5L2iHb&a

  4. Hit subscribe. You're all set. You can now download and refresh episodes, just like with any other podcast.


Note

You can also use service to download only one video :
