Youtube plugin? - Ritmo80s - 2023-09-29
The last thing that keeps me from not using any other app or feature on my Samsung tv would be if Youtube could be incorporated as a plugin into Jellyfin.
Is there any plans on something like that? or any other restrictions that are in the way?
The ultimate would be if there was some sort of adblock filtter as an addon. I dont know how doable these things are, but i cant imagine im the only one who sees this as a very interesting feature.

While theoretically possible to do something with YouTube the experience would be terrible. Just use the YouTube app.
RE: Youtube plugin? - Ritmo80s - 2023-09-30
the regular browsing maybe, but a simple feed with your subscriptions shouldn't be that horrible right? the app and its ads is the problem actually.

There is this project tubular
https://github.com/Beheadedstraw/Tubular
Which isn't related to jellyfin but runs in a docker container. I got it to run bare metal in windows as well.
Then there is this jellyfin plugin.
https://github.com/AECX/FinTube
Which allows you to download a single video not entire channels or playlist.
Here is another project that also runs in docker.
https://github.com/alexta69/metube
Non of these solutions are elegant in that the first two don't conform to jellyfin yourube meta data plugins syntax, so a post processing script is required to get the videos to show up nicely.
My dream would be something like the above projects all rolled into one, but available in jellyseerrs ui. Request could be made of entire channels/playlist that would then use populate in jellyfin with meta data provided by the jellyfin meta data plugin.

Try ytdl-sub. With so many solutions already out there, I'm not sure another wedged into Jellyfin is the right way to go.

Is there similar plug like kodi youtube plugin (https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube) on jellyfin? it basically remove the ads entirely.

Interesting, have you used it? Looks exactly like what i was thinking of btw.
For me its not about browsing videos randomly or downloading videos. Its about getting your subcription feed into (hopefully) jellyfin.
The convenience of having it incorporated would do wonders for everyone using both platforms. I mean, most people i know do not watch any tv/cable for news anymore, they all have their favorite channels get it all from yt or ramble etc.
Maybe its an age thing but it doesnt look like its going away its only going to increase in demand since cable and netflix etc are just getting worse

I'm developing ytdlp2STRM project, it is not a Jellyfin plugin but it allows you to play YouTube channels in Jellyfin without having to download the videos
