Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

In all seriousness, I couldn't find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It's still fairly rough, but it works, and i'd love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

services:
    pytube-gui:
        container_name: pytube-gui
        image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
        ports:
            - 8501:8501
        volumes:
            - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

I'll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?

yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID's into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.

I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)

Playlist support is on the roadmap. I want to make sure existing functionality is solid first, and then i'd like to include this feature. There's an issue in the tracker for it too.

That's a great idea. YouTube doesn't have RSS feeds, does it?

Not outright displayed but you can find them in the source code.
