youtube upload script

[Guest]

i have a raspberry pi rgb matrix, and i want to change a pixel when someone uploads to youtube. so basically i need a script that checks if someone on this planet presses the upload button i get an output of some sort because the matrix script is done.

That pixel will be changing 24/7

yes, that's why

oh, it's a matrix of 32x32! it's not one led

[RevoltTrain]

oh, it's a matrix of 32x32! it's not one led

So if only one thing is uploaded, only one will light up, but under heavier load more will light up?

yes

[RevoltTrain]

yes

Okay, that's really cool.

 

I hope you get some help with it.

Maybe try making it read an RSS feed, and everytime something new comes into the feed, it'll do what you want

but can anyone make a script for that? in python?

but can anyone make a script for that for the raspberry pi?

It's certainly possible, yes.

but, can anyone give me the code for it?  and i saw in the google docs that it was only for your subscriptions, i want it to be for the whole world!

so you want us to give you a script that enters googles servers on their side whihc allows you to register new uploads just in order to make a 32x32matrix led panel change?

this is legally questionable and also kinda useless, besides, every hour more then 5h+ gets uploaded there, ranging from 10sec vids to a few hour long ones, the panel is by far not big enough.

neatysquidyt just said that there is a rss feed for uploads, and i don't care how long the video's are, i just care when they are uploaded

Been looking around and i don't see anyway to just get a feed of the last uploading videos. I will keep looking though

Google don't provide access to this information and probably because its useless.

 

Last year saw 300 hours of video uploaded every 60 seconds (source)

 

So from that we can say every second is 5 hours of video.

 

Also last year it was reported the average video length was 4.4 minutes (source)

 

So now 5 hours = 300 minutes. 300 / 4.4 = 68.

 

So that's 68 videos uploaded every second.

 

You could program your RPi to update based on this value but this is now a year old. You won't find a live count of the amount of videos being uploaded.

maybe to it using bitcoin transactions? as you can real-time information. There is  website created for it  http://www.bitlisten.com/

There's an RSS feed for subscriptions, not general uploads.
