I need something and hopefully i dont have to invent the wheel.
I want to subscribe to youtube channels and have new videos automatically detected and downloaded to local storage. Bonus points for jellyfin intergration but i can live without.
I know not too hard to rig something like this uo with youtube-dl but if there is an existing solution that would be amazing.
Anybody know?
You’re looking for TubeArchivist
I second this. Tube archivist is amazing and it integrates well with jellyfin
It also has a Firefox extension that add download and subscribe buttons for Tubearchivist directly on youtube website.
TubeArchivist works well for me. It also has a metadata plugin for Jellyfin
ytdl-sub is by far the lightest weight of all of them.
Yep, it’s what I use, though I remember having some difficulty with the initial setup, its been very reliable since.
Definitly look at pinchflat. Does exactly this. :) Easy to set up, and it runs so smoothly !
Yeah I switched from tubesync to pinchflat and haven’t looked back. Much more friendly UI.
Was it easy to get something like plex to have it show up correctly? I remember it was a pain to get tubesync to name things in a way that plex accepted it
4k-videodownloader does this. Only paid version, but it’s a one time payment of 5 dollars or something like that.
YoutubeDL-Material would fit the bill

How would one connect this to jellyfin while preserving thumbnails etc?

Pinchflat allows to download and/or embed thumbnails ans subtitles, as well as creates nfo files. I am using it together with Jellyfin and it works totally fine

It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.

Damn that looks cool. I’m disappointed in how many projects are only for Docker though :(

Docker is a bit of a pain to learn but it really helps once you start figuring things out!

I agree. I am forced to use dockers with Unraid and I really don’t like them. For me, the benefits are very limited compared to the extra hassle.

Works great to convert certain channels to podcasts as well.
