tubearchivist VS jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin

holy hell I hadn't come across archivebox as of yet, I'll definitely be spinning this up this eve. Is the UI comfortable enough to use as a "bookmark manager"? just been setting up tubearchivist for essentially this purpose, wondering if ArchiveBox would essentially do the same

I'm using TubeArchivist to maintain this VERY large collection.

There appears to be a patch in Tubearchivest at https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/issues/587

Personally, I use Tubearchivist.

There are others though.

I've been seeing TubeArchivist posted a lot recently.

It has been some time since the last release, but v0.4.0 is finally wrapped up. This brings a wide range of fixes and changes, particularly stability improvements, with our new file system naming convention, this should solve a bunch of previously unsolvable compatibility issues. I highly recommend reading the release notes carefully, as the filesystem migration could be a breaking change if you made changes manually there: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/releases/tag/v0.4.0

I saw this was a Django app so I dug around to look at their models. As far as I can tell this is all they have: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist/blob/master/t... - just a `Account` model.

It looks like Django + SQLite is used for user accounts, but all other data storage happens in Elasticsearch.

It's an interesting design decision. I would have gone all-in on the database, and used SQLite FTS in place of Elasticsearch for simplicity, but that's my own personal favourite stack. Not saying their design is bad, just different.

Oh, so it is. I happen to run a TubeArchivist at home that grabs the videos and subtitles. Then I can search through the subtitle files for key phrases. I must have grabbed it while it was still public.

You probably want Tube Archivist. The only problem is that it’s naming convention doesn’t work with the Jellyfin YouTube Metadata Plugin.

As a less sophisticated alternative there's a metadata plugin for jellyfin https://github.com/ankenyr/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
