I’m looking for a tool that monitors a YouTube channel, then downloads only new videos into a folder.
I found ChannelHoarder, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and/or if anyone had any other suggestions?
Also, sorry if this is not the right place for this question. Mods, feel free to remove if this isn’t the right place.
I use Pinchflat and I love it. No need for YouTube and its dumb amount of ads (on tv and phone).
Seconded. I self host it for family members for that reason!
I can see the appeal of downloading YouTube content opposed to streaming, however if folks are looking to stream I would suggest Invidious + Freetube.
I use Pinchflat, there’s a similar one called Youtarr also.
This looks great! I’m looking into this now, to see if it’s compatible with my current workflow and hardware. Thank you!
Also using this and have been for around a year now. I set it to pull thumbnails and descriptions off the videos and give it a specific folder in my main media drive so it’s easy to pick up in Plex. Worked great so far!
Worth noting too: you can set it up to monitor a playlist. I use this feature by making a public playlist and I add stuff to the playlist that I dont want to lose.
