Introducing: Odysee Sync Tool (OST)

YouTubers are willing prisoners of self-censorship and now Odysee mirrors this cancer over here via dodgy app and still odysee refuse to pay the creators.... do you want a medal for that superb achievement?

Makes no difference to me, since I came here after being BANNED from YouTube, and I do not post any of my stuff to YouTube anymore.

how bout you sync dez nuts!

WILL YOU STOP GOING ON ABOUT YOUTUBE???

There already IS a dedicated Odysee community, who upload exclusively here as Odysee don't censor like YT do... but I guess you don't care about your own community, you want the YT creators who already would be here if they wanted to.
Also, visit my channel for movies not available on YouTube:

If it reeks of Youtube censhorship stink, I won't be watching anyway.

I don't want any version of a video I've had to censor showing up here, which is why I always load the uncensored vid (if I've made one) manually to Odysee.

If Odysee wants to compete they have to get creators that aren't just using the site as a secondary (or more) source. They aren't gaining viewers because all they are offering is YT 2. You have to provide something unique. I am on YT yes but I manually upload here because I am not using Odysee as a dumping ground. It's about freedom with my content and I create videos that are not always the same between YT and here. Odysee needs to find the viewers that are here to get away from YT and part of that is for creators that aren't just "sync it and forget it".

One big problem is that odysee still lingers in the stone age regarding codec upload. for example i just bought an AMD 9070xt and with that the good and updated codec AV1 but when i upload it to odysee there is issues for some people to watch. the very old h264 here on odysee and the very limited bitrate it allow is a joke. they need to put their resources on this. its sad that they still use the obselite codec in 2026.

I personally like this feature, but we really need a toggle to only show videos updated directly to odysee if you want to.

What is the license for this program? Where is the source code? I am not installing something on my system I can't investigate. Are you trying to hide something? With the way the regime is I don't trust anything I can't look into.

Youtube is the evil empire that must be crippled, destroyed, opposed by all the free thinking video platforms like Odysee, Rumble, bitchute, PeerTube, DTube, and others. I would like to see Youtube and Google burn down than bow down to them.

As a creator who uploads to both platforms, this tool is going to save so much time.

I normally have to use Handbreak and encode the video into something Odessy will play without fuss. It does work, but it does come with some compromises. I've been uploading my videos at 1440p or 4K at 60 fps (mostly due to the better bitrate on 1080p videos). The only exception to that was my BotW + TotK video, where I didn't need 60 fps.

Now because I wasn't a part of Odysee's YouTube sync feature (when I first started uploading here), early uploads to the site were at 720p, 30 fps. I have gotten it to work at 1080p 30 fps, but I could never figure out how to get 60 fps without it looking like hot garbage. With this tool (assuming I can choose what I can sync), I most likely won't have to do that, and I am so happy that this is a thing.

Myself and everyone on LBS Entertainment love hearing this. While we don't make content on youtube, we see this as a good thing, to bring more attention to Odysee. I hope, as we all do, that monetization is coming sooner than later. While I am able to pay my bills and live, it would be nice to have all our content monetized to help improve the viewing experience. LBS Entertainment, as well as myself, could use the financial boost. It would also help get people to move to Odysee, instead of youtube. Monetization is a huge block for many people. Also, having the ability to upload 4K content would also be a nice plus. Keep up the good work Odysee team. I hope the issues mentioned get addressed soon, as I, and LBS Entertainment, only create content for here. We have plans for doing exclusive shows and movies for this platform, as well as getting things going for the new indie game studio. If monetization and 4K uploads happen soon, then we can really get moving on doing these things.

I never had YT so i have no idea what this tool is. But I am glad to be on Odysee. Thank you for the list feature. Its a good way for anyone to be unique and creative. I am having fun editing many lists, because i only include content i want to publish. Thank you Odysee Team.

Keep sticking it to the man!

I was banned from youtube for talking about how vaxxines are toxic since 1626> It's a platform against the ability to speak.. Odysee for the win.

I really like this. With the bad Internet and failing electricity on Madagascar it had been a pain to upload several times.

Man, I gave up on syncing ages ago. This new one probably works but I don't mind manually uploading stuff. Is it that hard to click a button a few times? I can see why that'd be a hassle for channels with thousands of videos though. So I guess I support it. But even so, half of the big youtubers who do have channels here (like SomeOrdinaryGamers and Cinemassacre) forgot Odysee even existed.

This isn't a failing on Odysee of course, but I wish Cinemassacre actually promoted Odysee rather it being in the hidden asscrack of his website. If a youtube OG like him promoted Odysee, it would do wonders for this great platform. But since there's no financial or popularity incentive to do it, I can see why he hasn't done that.

I suppose that's the unfortunate cycle of alt-tech. You want it to become popular, but because it's unpopular, no one wants to join it, thus it remains unpopular. Rinse and repeat.

Glad to see this! In the meantime, I had built my own tool using Python and the LBRY SDK. But it required space to store your videos on your device and you had to manually run it everytime you uploaded new content. I’ll have to check this out, but if it’s as advertised, it’s much easier and cleaner to use.

Bravo, great job! The YouTube bot deleted my channel with 180,000 subscribers and now all my videos are only with you!

Amazing work!

I'm still going to upload directly to Odysee but this is amazing. Bravo Odysee Team!

This is a step in the right direction! Thank you Odysee!!

One thing I feel is a bother, is the fact that Odysee has been banned by several Internet providers in e.g. the Netherlands. I was there last December and found out that all my Odysee embeds on my website told me that the EU said that Odysee is a tool being used by Russian state propaganda.

Sounds good.

I don’t know how hard it would be to make, but as a tiny platform and one that presumably values competition and free speech as general ideals I’m wondering if you could expand this system to other platforms too, and use the branding (eg. “made by odysee.com”) and option to sync to odysee as a way to advertise and grow the platform.

Let's brake down YouTube. I'm already doing it for over a decade.

good solution.

Oh yeah, great stuff.

Nice. thank-you.

I don't have the time to manually upload, but would like to spend more time on Odysee.

something is coming 🤐

does this work for Windows 7?

"But if you want the 'set it and forget it' experience that YouTube just killed, this is your answer."
I find it amazing that Odysee is encouraging people to NOT interact on Odysee. Question: If someone watches a YT video on Odysee, does any traffic appear on YT's end? If yes it appears that Odysee is helping YT grow.

An Odysee version of YouTube Studio huh? Now that is something I might be looking forward to.

I already use freetube on Linux.
Happy with that and it shares the load around.
For those ready to go me for not paying creators I can assure you that youtube was much better before people started getting paid as a lot of slop was not created by those seeking financial reward. Those that did it for the love of it created much better stuff.
In Thailand there is a word "Sunok". Many believe it means fun but that is only the half of it. it actually means interestingly fun. That was Youtube before influencers. Interestingly fun.
Something Odysee may loose now that it is streaming Youtube slop.

Look at all the tards whining about this.
This is a good thing.
Content-wise, youtube outshines Odysee in almost every meaningful way.
Making it easier for content creators to have their stuff here, and get paid, is a good thing.
I don't get all these tards who think that syncing youtube content = censorship, they're truly retarded.

I say create your own website and post your content there! Why feed parasitical platforms living off others' energies? Let the open internet be your platform!
