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?

@muusemuuse There are many comment but only a few links so check it out :

For PC, yt-dlp is by far the best ( https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp)

There are many wrapper/UIs you can install, like https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp.

For Android, I've seen people mention NewPipe https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

But personally I think Seal is the best as it allows to download entire playlists. https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal
