YouTube-Agent.bundle VS YoutubeDL-Material

This is the way to go. I don't know the exact specifics, but there are some good Plex Agents for Youtube, including https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle and https://github.com/benkle-libs/YTDL-Agent.bundle

Ah, some assumptions go out the window when you start using third-party agents/scanners, since they don't need to (and usually don't) follow Plex's normal naming conventions. That said, I'm not sure what's going wrong on your end, since I just followed the setup instructions here, copied your file names above, and that seemed to work (minus the name of the show getting set to the file path for some reason): https://i.imgur.com/hivSzYl.png

It's the Youtube video IDs. The YouTubeSeries agent uses that to grab the metadata from Youtube.

First, You need a working Metadata Agent that you can get from here this works perfectly fine. Personally, I use the Movies Library type but it should also work with the TV-Shows library type but the following workflow is built around the Movie Library.

I have Plex linked to ZeroQI's YouTube-Agent.bundle and ZeroQI's Absolute Series Scanner.

I personally had issues using these, on plex's end, but hopefully you will have better luck. https://github.com/JordyAlkema/Youtube-DL-Agent.bundle https://github.com/ZeroQI/YouTube-Agent.bundle

I set up the youtube add-on for plex so that it can use my API key to get the video information.

For example, when you have youtube videos you could create a dedicated youtube library and then use the Youtube-Metadata Agent.

this the one I use: https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material

There are a few options. So far, I kinda like the way YoutubeDL-Material looks. If you're using an unRaid server, there's even a docker app you can run without configuring anything.

I'm using this one through docker, but it's a little flakey.

I've had a look at youtubedl-material, and it hasn't been updated for a while. is there anything else? Can someone confirm it does everything youtube-dl cli does?

I self-host an instance of YoutubeDL-Material and it works great most of the time. Nice frontend UI for youtube-dl.

I've been using https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material. Seems to work pretty well.
