Comment on TubeArchivist alternatives that store data in an archive friendly manner?

I changed over to PinchFlat instead for Tube Archivist for these reasons. It’s even easier to setup than TA. I have mine hooked up to store the files on an SMB share that JellyFin can read. https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat

Were you able to migrate your existing tubearchivist videos and metadata? I would love to switch to pinchflat, but it wouldn’t be feasible for me to redownload my entire library

No I had to start from scratch sort of. PinchFlat lets you choose a start date for downloading newer videos.
I decided to age out of my old TA library and keep the ones I wanted. Not perfect but it was an okay trade off to get away from TA’s naming system

Damn that’s what I was afraid of. Might just keep TA offline but available for already downloaded stuff and use pinchflat for everything new. Thanks for the response!
