To expand on this, setup one of the various yt-dlp "servers" (It's just software, often in a docker container. I have an old one that uses youtube-dl, I need to update it) where you can post over to them and it will download the video and drop it in a folder somewhere. Then setup a Shortcut (iOS), bookmarklet, etc so that on any platform you are on, you are 1 click away from kicking off a download. Then sort/organize those videos as you see fit at a later date.
Bonus points for putting your intake folder in a place your media server can see.
- ericd 4y agoSounds great. Any shortcut/bookmarklet code or pointers to servers to share? I'm sure readers could set that up themselves, but time/attention are always limited resources.
- joshstrange 4y agoSomething like this: https://github.com/frznman/yt-dlp-server https://github.com/frznman/yt-dlp-server In my case I stuck my instance (not that exact software but similar) behind Caddy and added basic auth. Then I just setup Shortcuts or bookmarklets that just did: curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url={{url}}" http://{{address}}:8080/yt/q Where {{url}} was the current page I was on and {{address}} was where my instance was available (with username:password added to it, example: "https://user:pass@ytdlp.mydomain.com/yt/q https://user:pass@ytdlp.mydomain.com/yt/q").
- ericd 4y agoThanks very much! Going to add that to our NAS.
