“Made simple”, but it’s all command prompt with no UI 🙂
Not knocking it, as I’m sure it works great, but these things end up being a huge barrier to adoption and use by the regular people who might be “self-hosted curious”.
I use tubesync, works great
I’m using Tube Archivist. Works great, too.
I tried it but it’s pretty complex compared to tubesync and uses weird af filenames, unusable for media servers
Yeah, the weird filenames bothers me, too. It does take a hit to data portability, for sure. I’m not using it for some kind of long-term, bomb-proof YouTube archiving, but more to have offline access to instructional videos I might need in the near future. For that, the UI and integration with Jellyfin works well for me.
If I was actually collecting youtube videos, I would go with something else that generates human-friendly folders and filenames! I’ll bookmark Tubesync :)
To be fair it’s “made simple” not “made easy”
And install python and install those dependencies before you can even run the thing
This is oooold. Like in, it was superseded long agooo.
Yeah, 2.5+ years since the last release?
Somehow I don’t think this has survived youtubes client war…
Take a look at tubearchivisit. Works great and is in development.
