Is there something I can use to fetch and serve YouTube videos locally? - eviltoast

I am keeping my children away from Youtube, but there are plenty of educational videos that I would like to make available for them to view at their leisure. I would like something that works more or less like this:

  1. I add a youtube video url/playlist url/channel url
  2. It downloads the videos, possibly with metadata, and stores them locally.
  3. It serves them through a nice web interface.
  4. (optional) it syncs the channel content and keeps it up to date.

Is there anything similar out there?

    I’ve been using tubesync and jellyfin for this for awhile and it works okay. The tubesync software is not the best, and the docker container made by the dev has way too much going on in it but it works.

    I have tubesync set up to watch and auto download from certain channels and then I watch via jellyfin. There’s even a jellyfin YouTube metadata plugin if you want to set that up too.
