```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira.

## Documentation

### Pocket Casts YouTube Uploader

Download YouTube videos and upload them to Pocket Casts Files for offline viewing.

### Usage

~/skills/pocket-casts/scripts/upload.sh "YOUTUBE_URL"

Or with a custom title:

~/skills/pocket-casts/scripts/upload.sh "YOUTUBE_URL" "Custom Title"

### Required

yt-dlp - YouTube downloader (via uv: uvx yt-dlp)
ffmpeg - Video processing (apt install ffmpeg)
curl - HTTP requests (usually pre-installed)
jq - JSON parsing (apt install jq)

### Recommended

deno - JavaScript runtime for yt-dlp challenges:
curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

Add to PATH: export PATH="$HOME/.deno/bin:$PATH"

### Setup

Create credentials directory:
mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts
chmod 700 ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts



Add Pocket Casts refresh token:
Get your refresh token from browser dev tools while logged into pocketcasts.com, then:
cat > ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts/config.json << 'EOF'
{
  "refreshToken": "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN_HERE"
}
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts/config.json

The refresh token lasts ~1 year. Access tokens are fetched automatically.


Add YouTube cookies (required for most videos):
YouTube's bot detection requires cookies from a logged-in browser session.

Install "Get cookies.txt LOCALLY" browser extension (or similar)
Go to youtube.com while logged in
Export cookies via the extension
Save to ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts/cookies.txt

chmod 600 ~/.clawdbot/credentials/pocket-casts/cookies.txt

### How It Works

Downloads video via yt-dlp --remux-video mp4
Refreshes Pocket Casts access token using stored refresh token
Requests presigned upload URL from Pocket Casts API
PUTs file to S3 via presigned URL
Deletes local video file

### Environment Variables

CLAWDBOT_CREDENTIALS - Override credentials directory (default: ~/.clawdbot/credentials)

### Notes

Files appear in the Pocket Casts "Files" tab
Videos play natively in the app (iOS/Android/Web)
Max file size depends on your Pocket Casts subscription (~2GB for Plus)
Cookies may need refreshing if YouTube blocks requests
