Is there any way to access YouTube within Plex?
Second, you need something to download the youtube videos so that they are available as files in Plex. for that I use the youtube-dl-server project because it does a few things:
-
video downloader
I use a youtube-dl-server fork which has the yt-dlp as option with nbr23/youtube-dl-server:yt-dlp
- YouTube metadata and library suggestions, help please
- nbr23/youtube-dl-server , change to yt-dlp?
-
I made a self-hosted video-hosting website and archival manager for yt-dlp
Not quite the same idea/feel, but I've been using youtube-dl-server for some time. It supports/has yt-dlp as an option. if anyone is just looking for similar projects in general.

reddit is forcing the SaveVideo bot offline or face legal action.
Or better yet, just host something like youtube-dl-server.

Dear youtube archivists, how do you guys archive videos from search results (or particularly a channel)?
If it's something I'll be watching in Plex, I use a docker container running youtube-dl-server+youtube-dl to import it. I have an identical container set up for my SO so she can add her own stuff into her Plex libraries. I'll eventually be swapping out youtube-dl for yt-dlp in these containers.

Self hosted YouTube media server – Tube Archivist
As a less sophisticated alternative there's a metadata plugin for jellyfin https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin
-
YouTube channel auto download and filters
You probably want Tube Archivist. The only problem is that it’s naming convention doesn’t work with the Jellyfin YouTube Metadata Plugin.
-
Jellyfin not using the mp4 thumbnail of videos as the primary picture.
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.

Disable / Uninstall a plugin from Jellyfin server
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?

Does anyone know of a Jellyfin plugin for YouTube video metadata management similar to this one for Plex?
Aha! I found this. https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin

I'm making a thing...
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 :/

How to use Tartube to ONLY download new videos with no others downloaded?
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.

What type of library do you use for YouTube videos?
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
