Seems like a fairly mature and well maintained project. Can be fired up in DevContainer for hacking.
Does it support sponsor block? Like cut out the sponsor sections from the downloaded videos?
yup
Nice thanks. I’ll try setting it up later then
Only thing I’m missing is the ability to only download a subset of videos from a channel. There is a workaround by making a playlist but I believe that requires a Google account.
Yah, I think that’s what the author suggests as well. Unfortunate, maybe make a feature request or a PR.
TubeSync has a regex filter for this
Only other alternative I can see is a custom script that it supports with some gnarly allow list
Spun it up. Works great. Thank you so much
How does this differ from tune archivist?
It does name management on the files for other players. Such as plex, emby, jellyfin, or kodi. About all I see that’s any special here.
Edit: seems to also do some metadata magic for plex at the very least to make it somewhat usable.
Guessing it’s not a dead/halted project?
Is tube archivist dead?! I just discovered it and I’m loving it!
It’s frozen for features and changes. Even bugs & issues are shrugged off and closed unless they are big. PRs from others as well I’ve seen.
The maintainer is semi active, but they’re kind of a dick, and tend to minimize problems and downplay others in ways that are borderline toxic.
It’s a shame :/
Is Plex support in the cards?
The readme says “First-class support for media center apps like Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi”
It already has Plex support but OP didn’t feel like mentioning it
Plex has boundary issues.
Well… plex support in that it can chuck files into a structure that plex understands. It doesn’t seem to notify plex to rescan libraries…
No, that’s an entire external service + a script.
Requires running https://github.com/Cloudbox/autoscan and that custom script.
At that point I might as well tell plex to rescan the library every x hours itself.
Edit: I forgot to add this even though I meant to
Autoscan, A-Train and Bernard are no longer actively maintained.
And that github… it no longer maintained.
How quickly those this flood your storage?
Currently I ran invidious in docker. The solution is … just okay, performance isn’t great. But at least you only stream whatever you pick for watching.
I only follow around 15 channels. For simplicity 10 video are added daily to my subscription feed.
Are there privacy concerns with this solution. This together with ad blocking were my main drivers for invidious.
you can define a retention time for sources (=channels) so you can somewhat limit storage usage.
Nice. I am gonna give this a shot
I have been looking for something just like this, thanks
Does that jellyfin compatibility work for Emby?
It creates nfo files which emby can read.
Awesome.
It should be fine, it’s not a direct integration for plex at least, but rather it formats the files as MP4 so they can be read correctly.
