Get-It VS MeTube

This past week I made/forked something similar for macOS only.

There was a GUI for youtube-dl I liked but never could get to work called [Get-It](https://github.com/Kevin-De-Koninck/Get-It), and with many people switching to the actively-maintained fork yt-dlp, I decided to try using that as a base for making a clone with the latter as a backend.

I don't know Swift at all but thought I'd try it out to see if I could, and it seems to work for the most part on my end. I also cleaned up random errors I found in the code (like a rogue youtube link to a Grand Theft Auto 5 video?) and made things a bit more consistent, or at least I'd like to think so. Changed the UI and added a toggle to block sponsorships from videos as well, but not totally sure if that works all that well yet.

I'd love if anyone would try it out and report any issues they run into, it's been fun trying to fix it up!

Obligatory reference to https://github.com/alexta69/metube which allows you to front yt-dlp with a webpage.

Already posted here how I have it as part of my stack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37113339

I selfhost https://github.com/alexta69/metube

I have it sitting on a URL and I have an iOS share shortcut to throw any URL at it and it downloads the video.

Copy-paste from my ansible setup if you're interested, shouldn't be that hard to convert to docker-compose.

Anyone want a metube plugin for swizzin? It's a youtube downloader I integrated in to swizzin. If there is interest I'll finish the installer/uninstaller. It works on docker as per the official github at https://github.com/alexta69/metube but it integrates itself in swizzin and monitors the docker container for the heartbeat. Uninstall works too.

I'm basically looking for https://github.com/stashapp/stash + https://github.com/alexta69/metube - basically you copy paste a pornhub link; it downloads a local copy and tags it away with everything from the original site.

Was quite surprised how little it uses. I also set up a samba share to easily manage to space via Ubuntu. For plex's data store /media location. https://youtu.be/675p5fuEQa4 (this is a bit of a pain in the arse but it does work) Also a fun one is metube https://github.com/alexta69/metube I set it to MP4 and best , honestly it's so easy wack a link in give it a few watch yt in bed via plex without adverts.

I am trying to set up metube in a Docker container using Portainer. Specifically, I'm creating a new Stack in Portainer and copy/pasting in the Compose file from the GitHub page. First, like a noob, I left the volumes as /path/to/downloads and it indeed created a folder like that on the main drive of my Ubuntu server which runs Docker. I then changed it to my user's home with /downloads at the end. All that works fine.

I run this https://github.com/alexta69/metube Which is basically YT dl which is good cause u don't get ads. Then play via plex

I am adding a YouTube Playlist to MeTube and it downloads the videos as I want. But the "Downloading" list is sorted, so that the currently downloading song is at the bottom of the list. I'd love to add a playlist and at the top, on page load, see, what's currently downloading. Does anybody know, if this is possible? Sorting the playlist, so that the currently downloading is at the top.
