I’m looking for a server I can host in my home that has a simple ui where I can put in URLs for download and have them all show up on my Jellyfin. Bonus if there is VPN support.
Update: Thanks to everyone for the suggestions! Several projects to check out: youtube-dl, pinchflat, ytptube, metube, tubearchivist, yt-dlp-webui, ytzero, igloo, youtarr

I’d like to second pinchflat. It’s great. I have it set up to monitor certain channels but also have it set up to monitor a playlist. Anything I add to the playlist gets auto downloaded. I don’t even have to log into it really it just works.
MeTube
…ok - what’s wrong with MeTube?
Does tubearchivist fit this bill?
Anybody knows a way to automate cookie passing to the manager? Youtube denies access if cookies are not copied from a valid browser with a youtube account :-(
If you’re using Firefox, then there are a plethora of cookie copiers. I used one, don’t know which now, a while back. Seemed to function for my purposes.
Don’t forget to check out Youtarr. I think it hits all the targets. You can do channels, playlists or individual videos. It has an option for a proxy URL to use to download which I believe can be set up with a self-hosted VPN. And it formats and sends things directly to Jellyfin.
There’s https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat
mainly for YouTube downloads though.
Does YTZero fit?
https://github.com/Pelski/ytzeroIt likely is overkill but may fit the bill with the ytdlp extension.
Not exactly what I had in mind but I’ll check it out, thanks!
I’m enjoying Pinchflat. I looked at TubeArchivist, but it’s a little heavyweight for me. Pinchflat is just one container.
It is a little broken - the refresh button and the page buttons don’t do anything - but I’m accessing the video through Jellyfin so it’s not a problem.If you don’t mind the slop, https://github.com/screwys/Igloo works really good for me :') I will set up automatic container releases later, building yt-dlp/gallery-dl from HEAD
