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 Along side that, many archives have fallen out of date - the archivist never truly sleeps If you want me to add anyone, please please tell me!, You can contact me on discord @infinitysnapz, or on YellowTealPurple | Archive Status | Available | Amount lost | User 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 | Complete | 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 | Partial | 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 | Incomplete | Archive is more than 18 months old, or has many missing available videos | 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 | |

12 | Tips and Tricks | Relevant Links | Shorthand notes | ||||||
13 | 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 | |||||
14 | 音MAD/YTPMV Archive | NR | Not relevant - channel or archive has many non-tennis videos uploaded (i.e gaming, livestreams, etc) | ||||||
15 | tennis meta-roster | NT | Not a tennis channel - might not be relevant to the Tennis Ark initiative, and is subject to removal | ||||||
16 | TENNIS DOMESDAY LIST | OB | Obscure - user has videos that are hard to find for the public, but still exist (i.e, offsite or unlisted) | ||||||
17 | 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 | SM | Small archive, only a handful of videos. | |||||
18 | FR | Fragmented archive | |||||||
19 | 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 | User categories | |||||||
20 | IV | Inactive Veteran - users who are inactive but are well documented. unlikely to upload, thus less of a priority | |||||||
21 | To add an archive with URL, scroll right until you see column X, then add the url. It will automatically populate the 'Public Archives' cells for you | RU | Russian YTP - users who interacted primarily within the Russian community and are thus harder to find | ||||||
22 | IN | International - similar to Russian YTP, but for other fragmented communities | |||||||
23 | MS | Miscellaneous | |||||||
24 | Jargon | ||||||||
25 | Known videos | The videos that the user is known to have uploaded, including ones that are no longer available | |||||||
26 | Available videos | Total amount of videos that are known to be archived/still online | |||||||
