yt-sum.py - YouTube Video Summarizer

This is a Python script that summarizes a youtube video from a YouTube URL using llamaindex.

Prerequisites

OpenAI API Key

Python 3.6 or later.

Installation

Before running the script, you need to install the required Python libraries.

1. Open a terminal.
2. Navigate to the project directory where requirements.txt is located.
3. Run the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install the required libraries

Also

cp env.example env.py

And enter your openai API Key into the variable OPENAI_API_KEY in env.py

Usage

To summarize a YouTube video, you need to provide the YouTube URL as an argument when you run the go.sh script.

Here is are some examples of how to run the script:

./go.sh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbiEGHjlE4Y

./go.sh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxeDjAxvJ8

Running a command from like the above will generate an output.html file in the ./output directory.

You can then ask additional questions about the video by running:

python3 repl.py

The output of the repl gets appended to output.html

Other:

The script is a work in progress. If you pass a url with the character & on *nix, it will give an error (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hxeDjAxvJ8&t=108s ). This is a *nix thing I will correct at some later point in time.
