tubearchivist VS browser-extension

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.

Seconding tubearchivist. One of the killer features IMO is the browser extension [0], which adds a button on every video to send that video to the server to archive.

And of course, let’s not forget the browser extension Tube Archivist Companion, which got basically a rewrite with v0.1.0. Download and subscribe buttons are now injected directly into the YouTube page, so very conveniently, you can send links from YouTube to Tube Archivist with just one click as you browse, see some screenshots and installation instructions here.

With the Tube Archivist Companion, your friendly browser extension, you can: Send links from youtube.com to Tube Archivist to download or subscribe to things Sync your cookies for yt-dlp to for example - among many things - subscribe to your liked or to your watch later playlists and to feed that automatically into Tube Archivist.

I've implemented the cookie parsing option for the browser extension a few days ago, so any bug reports are very welcome, please open an issue here: https://github.com/tubearchivist/browser-extension
