Looking for a self hosted YouTube front end with automatic downloader. So you would subscribe to a channel for example and it would automatically download all the videos and new uploads.

Jellyfin might be able to handle the front end part but not sure about automatic downloads and proper file naming and metadata

Been using this for a while, and it’s great. Has a jellyfin plugin too!

Can’t believe I didn’t know this existed!

Pinchflat also works pretty good

Pinchflat looks good indeed! Self-contained, no dependencies, unlike Tube Archivist which depends on Elastic which has a shitty licensing model (not in the spirit of OSI open source).

Tubesync is pretty great

Moved from Tube Archivist to Pinchflat. TA worked but overkill for what I needed. Just wanted to download with metadata that worked with emby. Pinchflat just works. Running two instances. One for the wife and I and one for the kids. Both running great on unRAID.

I will definetly look into this. I’ve been using tube archivist for a while now, but it eats so much RAM (especially the Elastic search dependency IIRC)!

Woaah ! Thank youu ! That’s a great find !

Does PF have a browser extension? TA has it, which makes it simple to download videos on demand.

I am developing an app that you can give video playlists to and it will check them periodically and download the new videos and metadata. It can also transcode the videos.

It’s too early to use in prod but if you’re curious here is the link: gitlab.com/Pixselious/youtube-backloader

Wondering which YouTube channels are worth archiving.
