MeTube VS youtube-local

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.

My project here is similar: https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local

It keeps everything in the browser while still being local to the machine

I am planning to host youtube-local (https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local) on my old laptop that's running Ubuntu Server. I don't plan on accessing the instance outside the local network.

YouTube alternative frontends (web-based): - Invidious - Alternative and privacy respecting YouTube frontend. - Piped - An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design. - LibreTube - An alternative frontend for YouTube, for Android using Piped. - ViewTube - ViewTube is an alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend written in Vue.js - Youtube-Local - browser-based client for watching Youtube anonymously and with greater page performance.

FROM python:3.9 RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git WORKDIR /app RUN git clone https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local WORKDIR /app/youtube-local RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt EXPOSE 8080 CMD [ "python", "server.py" ]

https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local It's like Invidious,but you can route your requests through Tor(if you care) and has a classic design and also has SponsorBlock,works most of the time

Been using youtube-local https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local for months if not years now, does the job pretty well.

i can recommend youtube-local with VPN for performance and privacy. Also Odysee as many Youtubers already have a channel there.

YouTube Local

Somewhat related self-plug: Self-hosted browser client for watching YouTube anonymously (Python):

https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local

It supports downloading all the raw formats (the video only ones, audio only ones, and the 360p & 720p integrated formats). More meant for watching than downloading, but some more advanced downloading features, such as merging audio+video with ffmpeg to get more downloadable qualities and auto-downloading options for playlists are planned.

What about https://codemadness.org/idiotbox.html or https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local ?
