Absolutely, there are a few solutions that can help you automate YouTube channel subscriptions and downloads without reinventing the wheel!
1. yt-dlp + yt-dlp-scripts:
yt-dlp is a modern fork of youtube-dl with more features and better maintenance. You can set up a simple cron job or scheduled task to check your subscribed channels’ RSS feeds and download new videos automatically. There are plenty of scripts and guides out there for this workflow.
2. Tube Archivist:
This is a self-hosted YouTube archiving solution with a web interface. It can subscribe to channels, automatically download new videos, and even integrates with Jellyfin for media management. It’s Docker-based and pretty user-friendly.
3. YoutubeDL-Material:
Another web-based frontend for youtube-dl/yt-dlp. It supports subscriptions, automatic downloads, and has a nice UI. You can set it up with Docker as well.
If you ever want to grab transcripts along with your videos, tools like Transcriptly can help automate transcript extraction.
Tube Archivist is probably the closest to what you want, especially with Jellyfin integration. Otherwise, a simple yt-dlp script and a cron job can get you 90% of the way there.
