hobune VS ytdl-sub

Then you just need to read and parse the json stream for metadata. All data will be stored there including title, channel, description, links, etc. Everything but comments. There are already some releases on GitHub such as Hobune that do this. It’s open source so you can implement parsing json in jellyfin

I wrote a script that turns the info.json files into websites, here's a live demo.

I've kind of done the opposite for myself - instead of making yt-dlp work with Plex/Jellyfin, I've made a tool that generates a website from the yt-dlp info.json files, you can see a live demo at hobune.stream.

Hobune maybe?

There is also hobune.

youtube-dl and Hobune

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.

ytdl-sub

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
