MeTube VS media-downloader

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.

Just started using mediadownloader (https://github.com/mhogomchungu/media-downloader) to download youtube playlists. Works well except downloaded videos are in webm. How to download/convert to mp4?

I am currently using Media Downloader to backup my entire YouTube channel. The program does pretty much everything I need but two things: I would also like to extrapolate the Metadata (video descriptions, tags, etc...) for each video I download.

Try Media Downloader. The default is 4 concurrent downloads but you can change it to as many as you want in the configure tab.

When we replace our phones, we reset the old ones and turn them into kid phones. I will save offline copies of different YouTube videos, movies, etc. for local playback.
