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 haven’t tried it, but Tube Archivist may fit the bill.
I’m currently using this. It doesn’t appear to have a way to auto import a list of subscriptions. But it fits all of OPs other requests. It also has a jellyfin add on to import the videos into a library there with title and thumbnail.
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.
I found about this on lemmy, @[email protected] is the maintainer:
Does this support other targets like twitch VODs?
Between Tube Archivist (TA) and Pinchflat (PF), it seems TA is a better choice (because you want to delete the downloaded videos). TA has a built-in interface to watch and delete the video. But if you are like me, who watches the videos in Jellyfin and don’t plan to delete them afterwards, then PF is a solid archival application.
I’ve been using TubeSync, but I switched to Tube Archivist. Works very well, I’m happy with it.
I am using YouTube-dl, but you would need to implement the logic for the downloads.
