I also like to grab a bunch of content all at once and then watch at my leisure.

If you're tech-inclined you might like pinchflat or Tube Archivist, which can archive channels/playlists in the background with video metadata automatically, which you can then use with JellyFin.

Need to be comfortable with /c/selfhosted@lemmy.world type setups, however.

I’d vote for Pinchflat. Tube Archivist is good software but very heavy.

I run a Plex server for my movie and television library. I just watch YT videos once and delete them, mostly in the background while I do other things. But I'll look into both tools regardless because automation is always interesting to me. Thanks for the tips!

TubeArchivist is kind of an all-in-one software for you to watch YouTube videos in so its own web interface and is pretty heavy. But PinchFlat is very lightweight and is actually designed to be used with your Plex server being the medium you watch your videos on. So I’d recommend starting with the latter, as it’s kinda built for your exact use case.
