I've got most of the channels I sub to tracked by yt-dl so it all gets pulled to my nas. If Youtube starts forcing ads I'll just put some effort into getting things categorized properly into Plex and ditch their site.
I know it isn't the best thing a rando on lemmy should be asking but can you zerotier me access?
Haha, that’s bold

Nice! I meant an instance with data but now I can make my own
Hell yes!! I have been using Freetube to watch Youtube without using a browser, and it is awesome. I have started using yt-dlp to pull videos I want to watch on my TV, such as The Repair Shop when they put out full episodes.
But, I have been doing it manually, and serving it using Jellyfin, which does not organize channels well.
This is so much better!
Yeah I have it downloading to a folder which is monitored by Jellyfin, makes the whole process automated. Protip, set the MEDIA FORMAT string to sort into season folders, and have the filename look like the way you normally format season-episode, so that Jellyfin sorts it properly. I use: Season {yyyy}/{source_full} - {yyyy}x{mm}{dd} - {title_full}.{ext} Unfortunately I've been having issues with filenames atm, tracked under https://github.com/meeb/tubesync/issues/371
That sounds cool. I have not had time to mess with my server... I decided to distro hope. openSuse is promising and I like it, but installing Nvidia drivers is kicking my ass for some reason and there seems to be an issue of not being able to wake up after sleep, so I am going to try very hard to fix those before I give up and distrohop again.
Anyways, I actually did follow the folder guides for youtube videos the same as shows. It really helps the metadata programs find the info, it seems.
I think it also depends on the channel. Like VSauce and The Repair Shop has everything filled out, but smaller niche channels like Vagrant Holiday do nothing.
For what it's worth I recommend linux mint. There is a gui for graphics driver installs. You click the yes please button and you're done 😊
