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).
I use Pinchflat, there’s a similar one called Youtarr also.
Seconded. I self host it for family members for that reason!
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.
I can see the appeal of downloading YouTube content opposed to streaming, however if folks are looking to stream I would suggest Invidious + Freetube.
This looks great! I’m looking into this now, to see if it’s compatible with my current workflow and hardware. Thank you!
