Comment on Sonarr-style auto-downloader for YouTube?

Glad you got it working.

I’ve noticed it need a lot of time to start even with good hardware and the confusing part it’ll throw errors rather than doing nothing.

Now to configure sponsorblock, go to settings > advance > select downloader: choose yt-dlp

Then go to settings > downloader > global custom args type this: --sponsorblock-remove,all

Now, for all new videos, it will download the video and remove all sponsorblock marked segments.

Hi me again, sorry to use you for tech support, but I’m getting this error:

error: no such option: --sponsorblock-remove,all

  No problem. I think you missed a comma before all. It should look like this:
  
  –sponsorblock-remove,all

Awesome thanks, I think I’m going with this! The UI is good. I’m struggling to find a list of all sponsorblock args, know of anywhere?

Also do you happen to know what Plex scraper is best for the default naming scheme?

  For Plex:
  
  In YouTube download-material settings: Extra-> check "generate nfo files"
  
  In plex, create a library called "YouTube" or whatever you'd like. Use scanner: "Plex Video Files Scanner" set agent to "Personal Media."
  
  Plex will use the nfo files generated by ytdl for metadata.
  
  I believe there is a dedicated YouTube series agent, but those can be finicky. This way, ytdl has already done all the metadata work.

    Thanks for this, this is the only breakdown I’ve been able to get (sort of) working.
    
    Just to clarify- this won’t load thumbnails into Plex, correct?

    Yeah, it won't. Only Plex's own screengrabs.

  Sure, you can find the documentation under sponsorblock options here: github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
  
  For categories, maybe sponsorblock github is the best place to find them.
  
  Unfortunately, I don’t know how to scrape information or import it to Plex. Also, check out jellyfin as an alternative of Plex.
