jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin VS tubesync

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

It will automatically download new videos from any public channel or playlist.

When I tried to do that with TubeSync (https://github.com/meeb/tubesync) I got this error and the container would be "unhealthy" and never start.

Quelqu'un d'autre utilise-t-il TupesYnc? https://github.com/meeb/tubesync

Someone mentioned "TubeSync" earlier in the thread, for the sonarr-equivalent of subscribing to YouTube channels. Not what I was after but sounds like what you want :)

this one, right? https://github.com/meeb/tubesync

Check out Tubearchvist or something like ytdl-sub or Tube Sync paired with a media player like Jellyfin.
