I spent a decent amount of time making a nice web application to wrap up the functionalities of yt-dlp, makes it really easy to follow content through Jellyfin!

Have a look if you have the chance, I think people could make good use of it: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick

Sounds interesting but I don't understand. Some screenshots would help, how it actually work, how it integrates to jellyfin?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

It doesn't directly integrate with Jellyfin, but it does store the media in a directory and file format that works well with it. I use it to subscribe to media playlist pages that yt-dlp supports and I get them added to Jellyfin automatically.

I was considering adding pictures when I have the chance, I'll see if I can do it later!

I've just added images and more descriptions on each page in the GitHub readme, should provide a nice overview now!

I understand now, thank you, very informative images, it helps a lot.

If you add a playlist link will it automatically download new videos added to the playlist in the future? Or only existing ones at the time of subscription?

Maybe a feature request: Is it possible to add channels? So it automatically downloads new videos uploaded to a channel?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It's meant to periodically scan the locations for new content, so yes, newly added ones will be downloaded as well. By default it scans every 10 minutes!

As for channels, it supports any web page that yt-dlp can parse as a playlist, so more than likely whatever kind of page you're thinking of will work as well!

yt-dlp is impressively compatible.

And why it integrates with Jellyfin?
