I have an Invidious instance going, and a boatload of MP3s from the last 30 years… Tell me more.
Comment on What's your weirdest or most unique self-hosted use case and solution?

I used to use YouTube for music, specifically to watch and listen to music videos, but YouTube kept making that harder.
I use tube archivist to basically have my own jukebox. Dont have an account with YouTube and can have my own collection.
Wanted to have a streamlined system where I use invidious with custom download controls but YouTube makes invidious very fickle.

This way I have local MP4 files of all my favourite music videos. One day I would want to make software that organizes them as music (with artist info and all that)?and somehow gets the equivalent MP3 files for them as well, but for now it’s just an app that has over 1000 music videos that I play in the background.

Wonderful! Thanks for the added info.
I have something similar, but I wanted to use my existing Jellyfin. I use TubeSync, which is basically just a web wrapper for yt-dlp with scheduling. I configured it to periodically download my unlisted YouTube Music playlist.
