Has there been any more discussion about adding RSS feed support to youtube-dl? Now I'm just using a bunch of silly shell scripts around youtube-dl to download like TED talks from YT. It would be nice to have this automated. Maybe add the RSS urls to the conf, cron youtube-dl to download, convert latest updates to the feed. I guess something similar to rssdler. But not for torrents, but to have mp3s of all my favorite youtube video feeds that I keep up with. https://code.google.com/p/rssdler/

Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you want to download;

youtube-dl -t -x http://www.youtube.com/user/TEDtalksDirector

works fine for me. Can you open issues for the URLs that don't work yet?

Apologies if I didn't make it clear. I would like youtube-dl to automatically download JUST the latest video file from an RSS feed. Maybe run in some kind of daemon mode, periodically checking the feed and if there is a new video, then grab it. Not just grabbing all items from a feed. I guess something similar to podcatching.

You can download all the videos using this command (requires curl, xmlstarlet and youtube-dl):
curl http://www.escapistmagazine.com/rss/videos/list/1.xml | xmlstarlet sel --text -t -v /rss/channel/item/link |xargs youtube-dl

Thank you for the report. Support for RSS feeds has been added as of youtube-dl 2014.02.20. Type youtube-dl -U to update. If you want to prevent videos from being downloaded more than once (i.e. only get new videos), have a look at the --download-archive option.

Thanks, that was quick.
Its not as fast as the youtube version when skipping items in the archive. Seems to be still trying to extract information.
