YouTube downloader

Dust0741@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 41 points –

Looking for a docker containers or program to run on my server that looks at my list of subscribers (from google takeout or newpipe etc) and downloads them automatically. Ideally there'd be an option to delete after watching, and a nice interface to watch the videos as well.

Does anything like this exist? Thanks!

I use TubeSync to do the downloading and then have Jellyfin as a frontend player. Seems to work pretty good for me and was pretty quick to stand up in docker.

is there a plugin to pull data on the video into a library? Or are you just playing media files?

TubeSync has an option to write metadata to NFO files. Then you just tell Jellyfin to not run any scrapper and just use said NFO files. It's not perfect but it gets you a title and description for the video.

Can you elaborate a bit on your setup? As someone running Jellyfin, curious how you've configured everything.

See my other comment on this thread. Basically I have a shared mount point for the two containers and TubeSync writes video metadata to NFO files.
