jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin VS jellyseerr

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

Jellyseerr: Tracks and manages requests (Emby and Jellyfin).

Jellyseerr makes media requesting pretty easy with the benefit that it provides excellent search, including seeing what's popular on the streaming services.

Jellyseer is the fork that contains the other popular ones( jellyfin, emby)

I believe the question is about jellyseerr, not jellyfin in general.

JellySeer (Emby) / Overseer (Plex) - https://overseerr.dev/ or https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr - This one lets you search every TV show or Movie ever done in a really nice interface. Then when you have found something interesting your click request. It then integrates with the other services to get the show.

Jellyseerr awaits.

Not a plugin, but I use Jellyseerr for this
