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?

    Definitly look at pinchflat. Does exactly this. :) Easy to set up, and it runs so smoothly !

      Have started it up as well because I fear like there might not be much time to enjoy its benefits for much longer :(

      Looks pretty neat! Too bad there’s no standalone installation, only docker.

      I moved from TubeArchivist to Pinchflat. Very good.

          It’s much more lightweight, handles Plex integration much better and automatically cuts out ads, promotions, etc.

            Any way to get YouTube’s recommendations as well, and not just subscriptions? I mainly watch stuff from my recommendations, which are usually exactly what I want to see. Been honing my alg for decades. 😅

              Not with this setup, no. I specifically didn’t want The Algorithm™ involved.
