YouTube Offline/Automations

Download YouTube Videos

ytdl-sub is a tool for downloading youtube videos with metadata for the purpose of displaying in a media-manager.

Invidious

Invidious is a self-hosted front-end for Youtube.

My ideal setup (speculation)

Run a custom build of Invidious which adds a button right below the Download button, where a user could "Download to Jellyfin" or "Add Channel to Jellyfin" and the channel or video is added to the ytdl-sub instance to be downloaded to jellyfin. This would allow automated backups of quality channels with a simple interface.
