Just asking: Is there an open source project that I can self-host that can organize my current subscriptions into separate groups/categories and make things easy to view/hide/digest? Many moons ago, I could hover and hide a video I didn't want to see in my feed with a single click. Best UX user feature evar... it was gone in a week or two I feel. I'm kinda ashamed to say I have multiple youtube accounts to keep my sanity, but yeah.

Yes any RSS reader works for this task. There are two types of channel RSS feeds https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL_ID> And the older https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<username> Youtube used to have an opml export button but there are a few github projects that convert the youtube subscription csv that dumps out of the account data export. Edit: If you want to filter out shorts using the selfhosted application rssbridge allows you to do this.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but Pocket Tube [1] [2] is a browser extension that lets you organize your subscriptions into custom groups. You can then browse non-algorithmic feeds showing the latest uploads from each group, which makes things much easier to manage and filter. Hope this helps. Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with Pocket Tube. I’m currently working on https://maxxmod.com https://maxxmod.com, a YouTube-focused browser extension, so I’ve researched the ecosystem. [1] Website: https://pockettube.io https://pockettube.io [2] Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-subscription-groups https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-subsc...

EDIT: Sorry I realised you were asking more about categorisation and not downloading. —— The closest thing I can think of is Tube Archivist, which seems made for archiving large YouTube collections, including things like comments on videos. I’ve had mixed luck with it and it’s a bit too heavy for my fairly limited needs. Youtube-dl hasn’t worked for me for the last month or so on it —- oddly enough I have a MeTube instance on the same physical machine (different VM) which is a lighter web UI for yt-dlp and which is still working fine. That’s Youtube’s fault I assume and not the fault of Tube Archivist. https://www.tubearchivist.com/ https://www.tubearchivist.com/ https://github.com/alexta69/metube https://github.com/alexta69/metube
