I spent a decent amount of time making a nice web application to wrap up the functionalities of yt-dlp, makes it really easy to follow content through Jellyfin!

Have a look if you have the chance, I think people could make good use of it: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/ToothPick

    Thanks for sharing. Will check it out. Want to move to a web app for this anyway. Currently it is just a selection of bash scripts and some unit files.

    I was curious as to what this does, so clicked the GitHub and it didn't actually say, so clicked the GitHub that this GitHub links to and that didn't say, clicked the original and found out that the original project is a YouTube video downloader. Cool! But then I went back to your GitHub and couldn't find out why you felt it a good idea to be able to download YouTube videos and add them to your storage? I'm assuming that's what this does.

      ToothPick is a web application that lets you easily subscribe to media playlist web pages, it'll use yt-dlp to fetch the media and download them in a directory and file format that is perfect for Jellyfin.

      If you create a Jellyfin library that points to the ToothPick library and make sure you turn on file watching, you immediately get the content in Jellyfin without any intervention!
