Title: How the heck is my DailyMotion account working?
Post by: EEVblog on July 13, 2020, 12:02:24 am
Well this is embarrassing:
I have a Dailymotion account here:
https://www.dailymotion.com/eevblog (https://www.dailymotion.com/eevblog)
I thought I wasn't autouploading there (it used be just old poor quality 720p content), and I haven't checked it for years. But it seems I am auto-uploading all my latest content there, and it appears to be doing it in full 1080p quality which looks great.
The embarrassing part is I have no idea how it's doing this!
I vaguely recall using some third party website, but can't remember or find what that would be.
And I don't think DailyMotion has the ability to auto-import Youtube content like this.
Anyone know?  :-//

Scratch that, I found it!

Seems I have an automated script that auto imports new videos once every day!

It always scares me when past-me pulls a stunt like that on current-me.

It's nuts. I sign up for so many things I can't remember most of them  :palm:

I think it's pause for concern. I never liked these scripts and third party software that will mirror youtube content. 1080p and higher files are not publicly downloadable right? So do they essentially have access to your youtube account and login details? What's worse than giving a third party access is forgetting that you did.

The open source script youtube-dl downloads them just fine.

They have google API access to Youtube video data.

It would be interesting to keep track of the number of videos flagged for any reason.

The other day I had a webshop tell me I already had an account I had no recollection of. Apparently I ordered something nearly a decade ago.
