I've been working on polishing my YouTube archiver project for the last while and I've finally released a solid version of it, it has an offline web viewer/visualiser for archived channels and it's managed using a cli. Most importantly, its easy to use :)

Can you edit your submission to add a "Show HN:" before the title? Like these: https://news.ycombinator.com/show https://news.ycombinator.com/show

I have a cron job that uses yt-dlp to download just the audio tracks of any videos that I have saved to a public playlist, can this be a replacement for that?

I like it, it's much better than what I've used previously. I made a docker container to run it (https://github.com/na4ma4/docker-yark https://github.com/na4ma4/docker-yark), when I get time I'll do a PR if you're interested so it isn't a separate project. (I'll also fix it so the host is a command line argument not just changing the binding from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0)

Is there a longer documentation anywhere? It's not clear from the README if you add a whole channel when you create an archive, or if you can add videos one by one to archive them?

Great project! I have a playlist that I use to keep track of videos that my young kid likes to watch, but wanted to get away from yt because of the ads, related videos, comments, autoplaying next vids, etc. So I just followed the simple instructions and bam, I have all the videos on my computer now with a UI that is even easier to use for him. Very nice, thank you!

From the readme, it is not clear to me what is meant by metadata. Will this archive subtitles? Will it archive comments? If is can, can comments be updated? Also, from the readme it looks like all metadata is kept centralized instead of each video having its own metadata file. Are containers other than mp4 supported?
