Error opening client_secrets.json

[allthepreaching]

Please see example below. Is there a specific location the json file needs to be in? Currently it is in my downloads folder. Please let me know what I can do to get this to work. Thank you so much for creating this!

C:\Users\HP>channel_to_playlist --secrets client_secrets.json https://www.youtube.com/c/BlessedHopeBaptistChurchSydney/videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEnjcaR3I7fOtDggi2NiqrgW1S2vT-Ap

The client secrets were invalid:

('Error opening file', 'client_secrets.json', 'No such file or directory', 2)

Missing client_secrets.json file.

Download from https://console.developers.google.com/project/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/apiui/credential.

OK I got everything figured out and working. But now I get KeyError: 'items'.
See info below:

C:\Users\HP\Documents>channel_to_playlist --noauth_local_webserver --logging_level INFO --secrets client_secrets.json https://www.youtube.com/c/BlessedHopeBaptistChurchSydney https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaEnjcaR3I7fOtDggi2NiqrgW1S2vT-Ap

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi @allthepreaching , when invoking you need to supply the channel id and and playlist id, not the urls:

channel_to_playlist --secrets client_secrets.json UCq_kzFkt5tAqtP94MgT3SUw PLaEnjcaR3I7fOtDggi2NiqrgW1S2vT-Ap

It would be a nice feature to support the user supplying the channel/playlist urls instead of ids. If I ever get time I might add this.
