  What’s the flow there? Receive link, copy, open MeTube, paste, download watch?

  Tiktok and Instagram links are so frustrating when friends send them.

    Yeah, that’s about it. You can watch it directly in the browser as well.

  I have never thought of doing this. That’s now going on my server.

  Ohh good idea! At some point they stopped sending me videos as I was not able to watch them anyway :( thanks <3

  I have metube configured to download into a directory that jellyfin watches as a library, organized in folders by the channel name and then prefixed with the publish date. It works so insanely well and it makes it so easy to watch videos with friends.

  Any advantages over using Seal for Android? Is it primarily for iPhone users?

    Just checked out Seal. My impression:

    It uses the same backend as MeTube (yt-dlp), so they have the same capability as far as website support and file formats.

    Seal looks like a good option if you don’t have access to your home network or if you don’t have a dedicated machine to host things.

    I still prefer MeTube because it’s a web UI that I can access from any machine. I use a VPN to stay connected to my house so I could still use MeTube while away.

    Is it primarily for iPhone users?

    MeTube is just a web UI, not a phone app. It is accessible by any device that can see the local IP and port of the host machine.
