This workflow automates a batch upload of multiple videos to YouTube, spacing each upload 12 hours apart in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and automatically adding them to a playlist. ⚙️ Workflow Logic Manual Trigger — Starts the workflow manually. List Video Files — Uses a shell command to find all .mp4 files under the specified directory (/opt/downloads/单词卡/A1-A2). Sort and Generate Items — Sorts videos by day number (dayXX) extracted from filenames and assigns a sequential order value. Calculate Publish Schedule (+12h Interval) — Computes the next rounded JST hour plus a configurable buffer (default 30 min). Staggers each video’s scheduled time by order × 12 hours. Converts JST back to UTC for YouTube’s publishAt field. Split in Batches (1 per video) — Iterates over each video item. Read Video File — Loads the corresponding video from disk. Upload to YouTube (Scheduled) — Uploads the video privately with the computed publishAtUtc. Add to Playlist — Adds the newly uploaded video to the target playlist. 🕒 Highlights Timezone-safe:** Pure UTC ↔ JST conversion avoids double-offset errors. Sequential scheduling:** Ensures each upload is 12 hours apart to prevent clustering. Customizable:** Change SPAN_HOURS, BUFFER_MIN, or directory paths easily. Retry-ready:** Each upload and playlist step has retry logic to handle transient errors. 💡 Typical Use Cases Multi-part educational video series (e.g., A1–A2 English learning). Regular content release cadence without manual scheduling. Automated YouTube publishing pipelines for pre-produced content.
