Echidna

What is Echidna?

Echidna is an app to update your youtube playlists. A config.yaml is used to specifiy the channels that you want to follow and the playlists that you want to update. Echidna will then check the channels for new videos and add them to the specified playlists. A filter can be applied to a channel to only add matching videos to the playlist.
