    Your self hosted YouTube media server

  • I've been using TubeArchivist for a while.

  • youtube_channel_archiver

    Starting point for archiving entire YouTube channels using yt-dlp (originally youtube-dl)

  • Some options suggested by the following, that may not have been in the old version of the program/manual page I have installed: * https://write.corbpie.com/downloading-a-youtube-channel-with-yt-dlp/ * https://github.com/dmn001/youtube_channel_archiver * https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/3958 The following might embed the comments into the video file instead of separately --no-write-info-json --embed-info-json --write-comments

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • tubesync

    Syncs YouTube channels and playlists to a locally hosted media server

  • pseudo-channel

    This is a python based cli-app using the python-plex-api to control a plex-client and act like a real TV channel with show scheduling, commercial breaks, movie nights, etc. "Home-Brewed TV Channel(s) for Hackers"

  • The plex script is pseudo channel. After it's set up, you can create any number of "channels" that maintain a daily schedule, advancing TV episodes when they show up and selecting random movies based on specified metadata. It peppers commercials in between scheduled items randomly (simulating actual in-show commercial breaks is quite a bit more challenging).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
