youtube-dl VS TubeSync-NFO-Agent.bundle

This docker container works well https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl

I use this docker image to download stuff https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl. Idk what type of power consumption my server uses, it's a Ryzen 3100, 16gb of RAM, T400 for graphics. Has 24TBs. I use it for YouTube backups which downloads from a list of channels I give it along with downloading videos from a specified playlist about once an hour. You can definitely run a YouTube downloader on a less powerful machine, I just recently upgraded my server. I also use it to run Jellyfin and torrenting stuff.

Try youtube-dl - https://hub.docker.com/r/jeeaaasustest/youtube-dl/

I use Jeeaaasus - youtube-dl in Docker, which is working great for me. I have enabled the web UI which enables me to add channels easily. And refreshes all videos every couple of hours. Also you can use all the command line options available in yt-dlp.

Extremely easy to get it running, though I haven't tried automating. The Youtube-DL container template in the community apps store uses ytp-dl. Here is the repo https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl and the container hub page https://hub.docker.com/r/jeeaaasustest/youtube-dl/

That probably depends on what you want to download. I use https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl for youtube videos, the ui sucks but it does the job. I wouldn't use a browser extension due to privacy reasons

There’s also a custom agent someone wrote to feed the metadata onto Plex.

Another Plex plugin that worked best for me is TubeSync-NFO-Agent. Despite its name, it works with YoutubeDL-Material as well.

I use https://github.com/meeb/tubesync and https://github.com/go2tom42/TubeSync-NFO-Agent.bundle

You need custom scanner and library agent, and enable both NFO and JSON in tubesync.
