TubeSync-NFO-Agent.bundle VS ytdl-sub

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.

Preps everything for kodi, including metadata, sensible folder structures etc. https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up space.

Use ytdl-sub for downloading YT channels/playlists/etc: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I don't mean to take the limelight away from this, was probably a ton of work. I used to have a similar bash setup at one point, then later created this tool to standardize yt-dlp archiving: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I'm biased because I'm the author, but I think ytdl-sub could shine here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

I use the ytdl-sub project and it does a great job preserving the metadata and putting it in a format Plex can use without a lot of fuss. Maybe see about integrating with that instead of roll-your-own? A GUI is nice but I just have this set to run on a cron a couple times a day, set and forget.

You should give ytdl-sub a try - nearly 100% compatible with any yt-dlp arg and more: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub
