I'm backing up my Youtube favorites locally since 2018, so far 10k videos. I might try to use this because seems like would be a fun way to play them in the background on a second monitor.

I've been thinking about this myself. I have a few questions for you.

The first is how you organize them. With 10k videos, do you organize the files in some way?

Secondly, aside from this project, have you found a nice way to browse/watch these videos?

Thirdly, any chance you could throw your scripts up somewhere?

Check out pinchflat. Think of it like sonarr for yt channels. I use it to grab content for my kid that he consumers via Plex so I can limit what he sees and remove the algo.

Pinchflat does all the renaming, metadata, and file structure as I configure.

Thank you so much!!!

I wish it supported other sites that yt-dlp supports, particularly Nebula but this is already a great start, and hopefully they'll add other sites eventually. It seems this has been discussed before.
