Use YouTube channels as podcast in iTunes

Is there a way to subscribe to a YouTube channel and have it show up in iTunes as a podcast? I want iTunes to automatically download the videos in MP4 format or download them in FLV and convert them to MP4 in iPod format.

Solution 1:

You may try to use Podsync. It converts YouTube/Vimeo links (groups, channels, users) to podcast feeds, which can be added to any podcast player on iOS/Android or whatever platform you use. It's completely free and easy to use. And you don't need to download an app.

Solution 2:

Not exactly what you want but Miro does a pretty good job of consolidating Youtube downloads and Video podcasts. Not sure if you can get it to serve up a podcast of what it's downloaded though.

Also noticed this http://vixy.net/podcaster/ haven't tried it though.

Solution 3:

I tried http://vixy.net/podcaster/ but their server seems to be having problems right now.

I did not solve my problem exactly the way I wanted to but this solution is pretty close.

I am using Tooble which will download and convert YouTube videos. It even has a place where you can enter a YouTube users' username and it will show all videos in their channel. Then the trick to get the videos automatically added to iTunes was to configure it to save all videos to C:\Users\MyUsername\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes
