2 | About | Legend | |||||||
3 | Welcome to the Tennis Ark project, a Video Art Archive database with a high focus on tracking currently active Video Tennis channels Modern archival is still quite lacking, with dozens of channels not archived. Along side that, many archives have fallen out of date - the archivist never truly sleeps If you want me to add anyone, just tell me!, You can contact me on discord @infinitysnapz, or on YellowTealPurple | Status | Available | Amount lost | Activity | ||||
4 | Automated | Archive is automated via Stacher or similar tool | Automated | Archive is automatically uploaded to a public webpage | None | No known videos are lost. | High | User uploads regularly (more than once a month) | |
5 | Up to date | Archive is less than 3 months old or has all available videos | Online | The latest copy of the archive is available for public download. | (Very) Low | Less than (5)/10 videos are missing, or has a high amount of unlisted vids | Medium | User uploads intermittently or at an inconsistent rate | |
6 | Semi-recent | Archive is less than 18 months old, or has most available videos | Mixed | There exists a public archive, but it is not the latest version | Medium | A notable amount of videos, or an old account is missing | Low | User uploads a video less than once every 6 months | |
7 | Outdated | Archive is more than 18 months old | Offline | There are archives, but they are not publicly available | High | More than 50% of videos are lost | Dormant | User has not uploaded in more than 3 years | |

11 | Tips and Tricks | Relevant Links | Shorthand notes | ||||||
12 | I strongly advise archiving in more places in addition to Archive.org - copyright and the future longevity of that platform is risky. If you cannot upload publicly, atleast attempt to share your files around on a temp site. Redundancy is key! | YTP & MV Archive/Directory Masterlist (Kneesocks's version) | XL | Archive has thousands of videos - greater than 20gb | |||||
13 | 音MAD/YTPMV Archive | NR | Not relevant - channel or archive has many non-tennis videos uploaded (i.e gaming, livestreams, etc) | ||||||
14 | tennis meta-roster | OB | Obscure - user has videos that are hard to find for the public, but still exist (i.e, offsite or unlisted) | ||||||
15 | TENNIS DOMESDAY LIST | SM | Small archive, only a handful of videos. | ||||||
16 | Stacher and 4K Video Downloader offer "subscriptions" which automatically downloads channels. If you use YT-DLP, consider this command to download metadata and descriptions | YTP Archive/Directory/RxK Master List | User categories | ||||||
17 | IV | Inactive Veteran - users who are inactive but are well documented. unlikely to upload, thus less of a priority | |||||||
18 | yt-dlp -o "D:\ARCHIVES\username\%(upload_date)s_-_%(title)s_-_%(id)s.%(ext)s" -ciw -f bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a] --rm-cache-dir --no-cache-dir --write-description https://www.youtube.com/@username | RU | Russian YTP - users who interacted primarily within the Russian community and are thus harder to find | ||||||
19 | IN | International - similar to Russian YTP, but for other fragmented communities | |||||||
