    Can you tell me more about these yt-dlp frontends? I’ve been looking for one for a long time, but I haven’t really found any. I was thinking of using mov-cli instead so I atleast have a search feature.

      Look for YouTube webuis on docker.

      Punchflat can dump YouTube channels on schedules in a way that Plex and Jellyfin can digest them as shows and put them up like any other show. You can auto-delete old episodes as they get old to keep your data low, or simply roll one or two month’s of your subscriptions and barely keep anything.

      Simpler and more like a gun you aim at urls and download them. More hands-on… Pinchflat is the only one I know that integrates with Plex and Jellyfin.
