I use YT-DLP to scrip the download of vids I want to watch and it drops them into Plex for me. I set it to run every 4 hours.

Oooh, this is interesting! How do you get the script to get latest videos from your subscribers?

Toot

Written by macstainless@discuss.tchncs.de on 2024-11-15 at 19:16

So there’s 2 files that go along with the main script: a config file and a download list.

The download list file is literally a list of YT channel URLs and any time I want it to get new channels, I add to the list. Conversely if I get tired of watching a channel, I comment it out or just delete it. YT-DLP just traverses the list.

The config is where the magic happens. That dictates how the file is named, quality you download at, location it’s saved to, format, etc. I enjoy the logging feature so it doesn’t re-download vids it’s already snagged. Generally I’ll tell it to get every video from a channel that’s been posted in the last 15 days.

Hope this helps!
