I need something and hopefully i dont have to invent the wheel.

I want to subscribe to youtube channels and have new videos automatically detected and downloaded to local storage. Bonus points for jellyfin intergration but i can live without.

I know not too hard to rig something like this uo with youtube-dl but if there is an existing solution that would be amazing.

Anybody know?

How would one connect this to jellyfin while preserving thumbnails etc?

Pinchflat allows to download and/or embed thumbnails and subtitles, as well as creates nfo files. I am using it together with Jellyfin and it works totally fine

It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.
