Peertube - help with imports?

[wbk]

My peertube version: 3.4.1~ynh1
Current version at Github: 3.4.1

TL;WR: there is no tools/peertube-import-videos.js in my installation. Why not? Where can I find it?

I found the description of a youtube-dl script to import video’s into Peertube at CLI tools guide | PeerTube documentation

When I run the script like

 node dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js \
    -u 'youtube.com' \
    -U 'linh' \
    --password 'thesecretpassword' \
    --target-url 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2acFek19PU'

it tells me:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:905
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module ‘/var/www/peertube/dist/server/tools/peertube-import-videos.js’
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:902:15)

at internal/main/run_main_module.js:17:47 {
code: ‘MODULE_NOT_FOUND’,
requireStack:
}

I found @yuno 's post about youtube-dl, but I don’t even get that far.
Where should I look for the script? Is the documentation up to date? When I do a general search for ‘import’ in the peertube dir:

# pwd
/var/www/peertube
# ls */*|grep import
scripts/create-import-video-file-job.ts
acorn-import-assertions
create-import-video-file-job.js
#

none of the results have exactly the right name. My Javascript is insufficient to guess whether they actually are the right scripts.

I tried to find the script online (github and framacolibri, for example), but haven’t had a hit (apart from documentation).

The documentation suggests to make an alias to jump to the right directory and to switch user,

The wrapper provides a convenient interface to the following scripts. You can access it as peertube via an alias in your .bashrc like alias peertube="cd /your/peertube/directory/ && node ./dist/server/tools/peertube.js" (you have to keep the cd command):

but the tools directory in dist/server/ does not exist.

Any idea?

Maybe things are not that difficult

While clicking around after being able to log in, the “Administration” pages got this configuration screen where you can turn in HTTP- and torrent-imports:

Besides that. there’s an auto-import-ytb plugin, to sync with a Youtube channel, that I didn’t have a closer look at yet.

Anyway, with the ticks “Allow HTTP import” and “Allow torrent import”. The “Publish” button now gives all kinds of options:

Great fun!
