I had Pinchflat set up on my server and never got around to putting it back in after I nuked it. I remember organizing backed up videos in jellyfin was a mess I never quite got working as well as I’d like.
I see there’s a couple alternatives mentioned on the Pinchflat GitHub. What is everybody else using to accomplish this?


Make sure you update often though. Youtube/Google/Alphabet are playing whackamole.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Simply running
pip install yt-dlpdoesn’t update though, right? You need to add an upgrade flag, so either:pip install yt-dlp --upgradepip install yt-dlp -UEDIT: Maybe I should actually read this documentation that I am commenting about. Their steps to initially install it with PIP mention to use the
-Uflag anyway. That flag is meant for updating, but it won’t make the package install wrong if used during initial installation of the package or anything, so no reason not to.I just did
uv tool install yt-dlp[default] --with mutagen. Updates are handled automatically.I put it in a container that has a build process every week.
