I’ve been using Metube but it’s pretty basic. Might give this a shot.

Why? It’s a brand at this point and lets you know exactly what its about.
What is a brand? “Sonarr”? Never heard that.
*arr services are well known in the self hosted community
IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.
(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)
Sorry, I tried but I couldn’t figure out how to use Flowcharr-t.
Surely, you meant https://github.com/kieraneglin/pinchflat
Surely, you meant https://github.com/meeb/tubesync
Whats you personal experience of pinchflat vs tubearchivist?
Not exactly ideal archival software…
It doesn’t store files in a human readable way and requires a separate DB and application to interpret your stored data. Without controls over how it stores that data.
They have a whole list of these in the linked Readme. Thanks for posting - I was considering setting up pinchflat but this might be a lot lighter on resources.
My use case: I would like to run something like this, but either directly on, or syncing to my laptop. I don’t watch much YouTube, but it would be nice to have stuff to watch offline, and cut google out of all the behavioural metadata.
Take a look at ytdl-sub if you want light weight. I load the resulting videos into jellyfin as series.
