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?

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

Pinchflat allows to download and/or embed thumbnails and 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.

Very cool!

[–] blackbarn@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Works great to convert certain channels to podcasts as well.

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

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

I would not even say so. It tool me maybe a weekend to und erstand the concepts. I had no other selfhosting experience before. Specialy docker compose is almost plug and play

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. I think they have become so popular on Linux because they sidestep so many issues related to distro fragmentation. This is yet another example of how the "freedom" of Linux prevents long term innovation and general OS improvements. Especially in terms of UX.
