My approach is a python app that’s literally just a button I press after I copy a YT URL from FreeTube. I click the button and it gets yt-dlp to download the video in the highest quality into my Jellyfin folder so I can watch it on my Apple TV.
I did start looking into TubeSync, but I wasn’t all that familiar with Docker at the time, so got quite lost with it. In the end I quite like browsing FreeTube, and only downloading the stuff that catches my interest. Means I don’t spend ages idly scrolling a feed.

Is that a wrapper for https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/README.md ?

Pretty much.
It reads the clipboard, adds the URL to a yt-dlp script, downloads the video, then switches to my YouTube Jellyfin folder and copies the download across. But instead of opening a terminal in that folder and copy/pasting the script from a .txt file I used to use, it’s just one click. Three if you count clicking the share button in Freetube and then clicking the ‘copy link’ button.

….that’d be a helluva browser extension

Huh, hadn’t thought of that.
