Any documentation on how to install?

Hello. I am getting 404 forbidden errors after installing the app in herokuapp?
Your guys have any plans of creating a ready-to-go app for herokuapp?
If not, how can I solve this error?

Hey, this app is not too easy to set up. It involves creating a MySQL database, configuring the environment to connect to that DB, configuring a youtube API key (which is not that simple), adding that to the environment config too. You would also need to make sure PHP composer is installed and is run on each deploy, and also you would need to make sure to run php artisan schedule:run every hour.

You could just give me your Youtube username and I can set up tracking for you in the already hosted version of this app of mine that I'm using for myself and some of my friends.

ah... Ok.
I noticed the youtube variables in env.example

YOUTUBE_API_KEY=
YOUTUBE_CLIENT_ID=
YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET=
YOUTUBE_REDIRECT_URI=

Thank you \o/

Hi, would you be willing to add YouTube username, brentgeery? Right now using recovermy.video, but it's not ideal. Thanks.

@bgeery I can add you when I have time... but that recovermy.video you mentioned looks like a more refined equivalent of my project here. What's wrong with that service?

[bgeery]

For one they only update once a week. The other thing is I'm hoping you might add artist name as well to the database, at some point, 'cause many songs I won't know which artist did the version that got deleted by song title alone. I'd also like to see video length added to the same reason, that many songs have different versions that often aren't denoted in the title. However, the more frequent updating in the critical thing for me.

Alright, you can log in with your Youtube account here: https://youtube-delete-tracker.szeremi.org/
Tracking is done once a day; you may need to wait a day until your videos start getting tracked.
Don't be surprised about the "Application not verified" warnings during Youtube login. I didn't dare to get the application reviewed, being afraid that the application would go against the Youtube terms of service :D

You may be disappointed though, because as you could see in the Readme screenshot, I only track the titles, playlist, and youtube ID of the videos, and no thumbnails or video length.

I could add the video length in since that's not a lot of data to store. And I accept suggestions for improvements.

EDIT: I've scanned your channel manually.

Great! I'll give feedback after I've had a chance to use it for a bit. Thanks.

Just wanted to drop by and say happy holidays and thanks for three years of an awesome and unique service. recovermy.video has failed to recover titles several times, but never youtube-delete-tracker.

I'm very glad to hear it's been helpful :)
