That does none of the things tubearchivist does, among them: - Subscribe to your favorite YouTube channels - Index and make videos searchable - Play videos - Keep track of viewed and unviewed videos Not to mention having to ssh and copy paste URLs around, instead of visiting a page in my browser.

> Once your YouTube video collection grows, it becomes hard to search and find a specific video. That's where Tube Archivist comes in: By indexing your video collection with metadata from YouTube, you can organize, search and enjoy your archived YouTube videos without hassle offline through a convenient web interface. If you don't want the indexing and the pretty frontend that's fine, but there's a reason software like Plex is popular.

Someone should put together and publish a docker container that does that.

I'm also not a fun of such overengineered programs, but using raw yt-dlp alone is not enough for replicating full workflow. Your command is nice for downloading a single video (I also provide a url from clipboard via xclip), but archiving videos daily from a list of favorite channels would require a bit more scripting. Didn't manage to find anything both minimal and popular to link instead.

  It doesn't download just a single video – it downloads all your liked videos with some reasonable sorting. Put your favorite channels' and playlists' URLs into a text file and use the "-a file.txt" flag to batch download. Use "--dateafter {date of 3 days ago}" to download only the latest videos. Adapt as needed.
