    It seems my previous thread must have been accidentally lost/deleted, since I was never notified of any reason for removal and yet it is missing...

    I'm looking for a companion media manager solution to add to my homelab setup that can auto-manage content downloaded from youtube in a similar manner to how other existing media managers handle TV shows and movies. Would really like to be able to treat proper shows/series from youtube like TV shows in Jellyfin, matching them to a proper naming convention for Jellyfin and storing them in series folders etc in accordance with metadata obtained from IMDB/TVDB. Other stuff not part of a defined series can go to another video library organized by channel. 

    Has someone put together a media manager that can do this? I'm using a dockerized environment presently so a single container server would be ideal. I've tried a few different YT/downloader containers on dockerhub, but they're all very barebones and lack features for things like automatic labeling, sorting, playlists, series, metadata fetching etc, so I still have to dig thorough my media folders and move/rename stuff manually.

    It's not exactly what you're looking for, but ytdl-sub is what I use and you can manage everything via YAML files and write your own metadata, take it from YouTube, treat it as a series, etc...

    I'm not aware of a good metadata manager for YouTube and I know there's a plugin for Jellyfin, but last I checked it only worked for the Movies library type, which is a mess. 

    Using ytdl-sub, I create a library for my YouTube series (or add them into my regular TV library/ies) and you're off an running. You control what metadata exists for them. Just make sure to lock it down (i.e., don't refresh the metadata for these series as you might match it with something completely incorrect).

    You got three options really
    Tubearchivist (w/ the jellyfin python script)
    Tubesync
    Ytdl-sub

    If you're using windows, I would use a native option really in ytdl-sub IMO as the first 2 are docker containers (so you would need to run WSL2 for that)
