jellyfin-vue VS jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin

I use ES6 classes directly. Getter are fully reactive: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/tree/master/frontend/src/store

release: v0.3.0

I too was curious, enough to follow a few links to https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue - as I've tested with the demo page which has a hero on top of the page. To demo use: https://jf-vue.pages.dev/ Demo Server Address: https://demo.jellyfin.org/stable Login name: demo , No password

See how I do it: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/blob/vite/frontend/src/store/playbackManager.ts

Jellyfin Vue?

The filenames are basically UUIDs, but I'm not sure what they're based on. There might be something in the API docs on the website but I'm not sure. That said the Vue guys (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue) made theirs work so it's definitely possible to do.

This is the roadmap in case you're interested, currently stuck in Vue 3 migration, which is a big step forward: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-vue/discussions/1679

As a less sophisticated alternative there's a metadata plugin for jellyfin https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin

You probably want Tube Archivist. The only problem is that it’s naming convention doesn’t work with the Jellyfin YouTube Metadata Plugin.

For future videos you download with yt-dlp you can try using the Jellyfin YouTube Metadata Plugin. Jellyfin grabs the exact images and descriptions from YouTube.

As for the plugin I’ve gotten it to work in Docker but could never get it to work for Jellyfin MacOS because it wouldn’t recognize my already installed yt-dlp. Did you try the yt-dlp install command on the plugin’s GitHub page?

Youtube Metadata Plugin - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-plugin-repo/master/manifest.json YoutubeMetadata - Pull YoutubeMetadata from info.json or YoutubeAPI.

Aha! I found this. https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin

It has always saddened me that Jellyfin can't get metadata for YouTube videos... I mean I'm aware of ankenyr's plugin, but I've never managed to make it work :/

For some reason I am unable to get them to work together (I’m using the file output as “%(id)s”) which to my understanding should work with the Metadata scraper as seen here but when I sync the content on my server it just uses the title of the folder (the YouTubers name) and doesn’t populate any metadata.

Theres an open issue on the Youtube Metadata plugin to try and get it to support TubeArchivists naming scheme (which will never change), but there has been no progress on it: https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin/issues/40
