step 1: get audio from youtube playlists

#!/bin/bash

## parameters: 1 = playlist end, 2 = playlist start

YTDL_BIN="~/apps/youtube-dl"
DETOX_BIN="/usr/bin/detox"
DETOX_RC="/etc/detoxrc"
YTDL_DIR="./"
CSV="YTDL.csv"
YTPLAYLIST="$1"
YTDL_DIR="~/AUDIO/YTDL-$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M')_X"
PLAYLIST_START=""

if [ ! -z "$2" ]; then
  $PLAYLIST_START="--playlist-start $2"
fi

mkdir $YTDL_DIR
cd $YTDL_DIR

$YTDL_BIN --update

$YTDL_BIN -4 -i -c --no-part --socket-timeout 20 -R 5 --no-mtime --youtube-skip-dash-manifest -w --no-check-certificate --prefer-insecure --no-overwrites -o "%(display_id)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" -x --audio-format vorbis --audio-quality 3 --write-description ${YTPLAYLIST}
 
$DETOX_BIN ./*.ogg

rm ./*.description

step 2: rsync to webdav

 rsync --archive -hh --partial --verbose --modify-window=1 --recursive YTDL-*  /mnt/webdav/strato/users/drive-XXX/pub/audio/tracks.yt/

step 3: setup icecast2, haproxy and ices2 on vps

i run debian, so i just installed all software

apt-get install -y icecast2 ices2 haproxy davfs2 

## optional ...
apt-get install -y vorbis-tools youtube-dl vorbisgain sshfs lftp oggz-tools ogmtools ffmpeg sox

apt-get clean
