When using the Python scripts, be sure to add them to the computer scheduler. Can't tell you how to do that on a Mac but for Windows you can type "scheduler" in the start button search bar (if on W10, use the search "magnifying glass" next to the start button) and use that to add the task to run at a time of your choosing. Click on the Task Scheduler Library on the left and then Create Basic Task on the right. Follow the bouncing ball until you get to the Action section. For the Program/Script input box, use C:\Python27\python.exe or use the browse button to the location of your installation's python.exe. In the Add Arguments box, put in the location and name of the script you're using. Since my script is in the same place as the video downloads, I simply put the script name in the Arguments box and then use the optional Start In box for the location of the script and downloads (see image below). At the end, I'd suggest the check box to Open the Properties to fine tune your task. In particular, check the Conditions tab for any settings that affect you (wake up computer could be useful) and then in the Settings tab I'd recommend the top two boxes to be checked. Save and look back in the list of available tasks for the name of your task. Right-click on it and choose Run to ensure it works properly (scroll to the right to check the Last Run Result - should indicate successful completion with an error code of 0x0.
