Video & VOD Tracker

Lythea watches YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch channels and automatically posts a notification when a new video goes up — no manual work needed.

How it works

Every 5 minutes, Lythea checks the tracked channels for new uploads. When a new video is found, the bot posts an embed with the title, thumbnail, and link to the configured alert channel. The first check after adding a tracker sets the baseline — it won't send a notification for a video that was already there.

Adding a tracker

Use a slash command in Discord (admins only):

/vod add platform:youtube username:@YourChannel channel:#videos

For the username, use the channel handle — on YouTube e.g. @ChannelName, on TikTok @handle. You can also pass a full channel URL if you have it.

Additional options when adding:

• ping_everyone — adds an @everyone mention to the notification
• filter_shorts — skips YouTube Shorts (on by default — otherwise very active Shorts channels will spam your alert channel)

All commands

/vod list — shows all active trackers on this server with their platform and target channel.

/vod remove username:@ChannelName — stops monitoring that channel.

Tracking multiple channels at once is fine — you can watch the same creator's YouTube and TikTok in parallel, posting to different Discord channels.
