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?

thanks for mentioning ytdl-sub!

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

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.
