  • urlscan is a good tool for checking server basic information.

  • I think AI can provide an interface to let user submit the site for crawling, such as some website scanner doing, like urlscan. Otherwise the site can reject the AI crawler.

  • I'm sure this has been posted here before, but it's too good not to repost.

  • Plex/Jellyfin - YouTube content

    Jump

  • Absolutely understand your pain—manually importing, editing, and organizing YouTube videos for Plex or Jellyfin can get overwhelming fast, especially with large playlists! Here are some ideas:

    1. Tube ArchivistThis is a self-hosted solution designed exactly for archiving YouTube content. It’s Docker-based and has a web UI, so you don’t need to mess with command-line scripts if you don’t want to.https://www.tubearchivist.com/

    2. YoutubeDL-MaterialAnother web-based frontend for yt-dlp/youtube-dl. https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material

    3. yt-dlp with Metadata OptionsIf you’re open to a little scripting, yt-dlp can be used. You can then use small scripts to import this info into Plex/Jellyfin, or at least batch rename and organize files.

    4. Transcript ExtractionIf you want to save transcripts for reference or searching, Transcriptly can help automate that part.

    Hope this helps you reclaim your time and enjoy your video collection more!

  • Browse and watch videos in FreshRSS like it's YouTube: "Youlag theme/extension" (v3.0.2)

  • This is cool! Thanks a lot.

  • Something like Sonarr but for Youtube?

    Jump

  • Absolutely, there are a few solutions that can help you automate YouTube channel subscriptions and downloads without reinventing the wheel!

    1. yt-dlp + yt-dlp-scripts:yt-dlp is a modern fork of youtube-dl with more features and better maintenance. You can set up a simple cron job or scheduled task to check your subscribed channels’ RSS feeds and download new videos automatically. There are plenty of scripts and guides out there for this workflow.

    2. Tube Archivist:This is a self-hosted YouTube archiving solution with a web interface. It can subscribe to channels, automatically download new videos, and even integrates with Jellyfin for media management. It’s Docker-based and pretty user-friendly.

    3. YoutubeDL-Material:Another web-based frontend for youtube-dl/yt-dlp. It supports subscriptions, automatic downloads, and has a nice UI. You can set it up with Docker as well.

    If you ever want to grab transcripts along with your videos, tools like Transcriptly can help automate transcript extraction.

    Tube Archivist is probably the closest to what you want, especially with Jellyfin integration. Otherwise, a simple yt-dlp script and a cron job can get you 90% of the way there.

  • Which one do you use finally?

  • I wrote a web front end for downloading Youtube videos, and i'd love some feedback

    Jump

  • This is awesome—thanks for sharing your project! I totally get the struggle of finding a YouTube downloader that checks all the boxes, so it’s great to see someone building a solution that’s easy to deploy with Docker and has a user-friendly interface.

    One feature I’d personally love to see is transcript support. Being able to download not just the video, but also the YouTube transcript (or even auto-generate one for videos without captions) would be super useful for people who want to archive or search video content. Maybe integration with something like Transcriptly or OpenAI’s Whisper could be an interesting addition down the line.

    Anyway, thanks again for making this open source! I’ll give it a try. Looking forward to seeing how this project evolves!
