I had Pinchflat set up on my server and never got around to putting it back in after I nuked it. I remember organizing backed up videos in jellyfin was a mess I never quite got working as well as I’d like.

I see there’s a couple alternatives mentioned on the Pinchflat GitHub. What is everybody else using to accomplish this?

I’m not really looking to do this with apps since google is pretty close to the regime so anything good could be taken down at any time. I want something to copies it down and I pull in with my existing stack like Pinchflat did, but cleaner.

Part of this is I’m still on apple. I’m looking at fleeing, but certainly not to google. Until I finally get off my ass and get a Linux phone, let’s just assume this has to work from a webUI

You're painting yourself into a corner by avoiding degoogled Android operating systems. I guess my suggestion for you would probably have to be to install yt-dlp on your server, and then use an SSH app when you need to download a video. Maybe someone more familiar with Apple can offer a better suggestion.

I was looking at a pixel running graphene this last upgrade cycle but google taking a swing a third party roms chased me back to apple for now.

Ah yes, Apple is notorious for the freedom of app installations...

I have been using a docker container - ytdl-sub, which uses yt-dlp to download YouTube videos with metadata for jellyfin

[–] pr3d@eviltoast.org 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

thanks for mentioning ytdl-sub!

can it selectively download videos or does it auto download all videos of a subscription?

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 1 points 6 months ago

By default it auto downloads everything, but you can set rules and filters to avoid videos you don't want.

You also have to explicitly download shorts, as they won't download by default.
