MeTube VS youtube-dl

Obligatory reference to https://github.com/alexta69/metube which allows you to front yt-dlp with a webpage.

Already posted here how I have it as part of my stack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37113339

I selfhost https://github.com/alexta69/metube

I have it sitting on a URL and I have an iOS share shortcut to throw any URL at it and it downloads the video.

Copy-paste from my ansible setup if you're interested, shouldn't be that hard to convert to docker-compose.

    - name: Build metube options separately, avoids inline JSON in metube setup

Anyone want a metube plugin for swizzin? It's a youtube downloader I integrated in to swizzin. If there is interest I'll finish the installer/uninstaller. It works on docker as per the official github at https://github.com/alexta69/metube but it integrates itself in swizzin and monitors the docker container for the heartbeat. Uninstall works too.

I'm basically looking for https://github.com/stashapp/stash + https://github.com/alexta69/metube - basically you copy paste a pornhub link; it downloads a local copy and tags it away with everything from the original site.

Was quite surprised how little it uses. I also set up a samba share to easily manage to space via Ubuntu. For plex's data store /media location. https://youtu.be/675p5fuEQa4 (this is a bit of a pain in the arse but it does work) Also a fun one is metube https://github.com/alexta69/metube I set it to MP4 and best , honestly it's so easy wack a link in give it a few watch yt in bed via plex without adverts.

I am trying to set up metube in a Docker container using Portainer. Specifically, I'm creating a new Stack in Portainer and copy/pasting in the Compose file from the GitHub page. First, like a noob, I left the volumes as /path/to/downloads and it indeed created a folder like that on the main drive of my Ubuntu server which runs Docker. I then changed it to my user's home with /downloads at the end. All that works fine.

I run this https://github.com/alexta69/metube Which is basically YT dl which is good cause u don't get ads. Then play via plex

I am adding a YouTube Playlist to MeTube and it downloads the videos as I want. But the "Downloading" list is sorted, so that the currently downloading song is at the bottom of the list. I'd love to add a playlist and at the top, on page load, see, what's currently downloading. Does anybody know, if this is possible? Sorting the playlist, so that the currently downloading is at the top.

This docker container works well https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl

I use this docker image to download stuff https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl. Idk what type of power consumption my server uses, it's a Ryzen 3100, 16gb of RAM, T400 for graphics. Has 24TBs. I use it for YouTube backups which downloads from a list of channels I give it along with downloading videos from a specified playlist about once an hour. You can definitely run a YouTube downloader on a less powerful machine, I just recently upgraded my server. I also use it to run Jellyfin and torrenting stuff.

Try youtube-dl - https://hub.docker.com/r/jeeaaasustest/youtube-dl/

I use Jeeaaasus - youtube-dl in Docker, which is working great for me. I have enabled the web UI which enables me to add channels easily. And refreshes all videos every couple of hours. Also you can use all the command line options available in yt-dlp.

Extremely easy to get it running, though I haven't tried automating. The Youtube-DL container template in the community apps store uses ytp-dl. Here is the repo https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl and the container hub page https://hub.docker.com/r/jeeaaasustest/youtube-dl/

That probably depends on what you want to download. I use https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl for youtube videos, the ui sucks but it does the job. I wouldn't use a browser extension due to privacy reasons
