This python script will create strm files, create metadata, and download images for Youtube channels so you can import them into Kodi as TV Shows.

How to use it:

1. Place the python script anywhere on your server or PC (it is NOT a Kodi add-on... yet)
2. add Youtube UserID's OR channelID's OR playlistID's into the text file (new line for each channel). If it is a playlist, you must start the line with a plus sign
3. Edit the user config section of the script to input: Google API Key (required), refresh interval (required), Destination for the files (required), your personal youtube ChannelID (optional)
4. run the script
5. While that's running, add the Destination Directory as a source to Kodi, and set it to scan as a TV show using local data

Known Issues:

1. The developer doesn't know python
2. Initial config isn't exactly a breeze
3. requires your own Google API Key
4. I can only get the 50 most recent uploads from a user (and I don't think there is any way around that)
5. Episodes are not automatically marked as watched after completion. I thought this would be resolved by adding the runtime field to the episode nfo file, but I was wrong.
6. There is no duration for short videos - at least on my skin, if the duration is under 1 minute, the duration appears as blank
