Laughs in

Txt file with favorite channels as input for a yt-dlp download script schedule. Combined with a selfhosted invidious and freetube desktop app for other then favorite videos.

Honestly I am really tired of jumping trough hoops, have to make sure yt-dlp and invidious use a proxy (cloudflare warp) or google will ban your ip for being a bot.

But having to deal with the actual YouTube site or reopening my google account is worse. Its not even (but still also) the ads at this point but pure resentment against big tech.

You got that script handy?

I wont be home till quite a few hours.

But also its general boilerplate enough an ai can help you get you one according to your own preferences.

There are also a number of examples online.

This one looks pretty interesting https://github.com/panchi64/auto-ytdlp

Why not run tubearchivist or something?

First I hear of if but a quick scroll shows it mostly to organize an existing collection so you would still need to download.

I put them straight into jellyfin which works fine for me.
