    “Made simple”, but it’s all command prompt with no UI 🙂

    Not knocking it, as I’m sure it works great, but these things end up being a huge barrier to adoption and use by the regular people who might be “self-hosted curious”.

      And install python and install those dependencies before you can even run the thing

            Yeah, the weird filenames bothers me, too. It does take a hit to data portability, for sure. I’m not using it for some kind of long-term, bomb-proof YouTube archiving, but more to have offline access to instructional videos I might need in the near future. For that, the UI and integration with Jellyfin works well for me.

            If I was actually collecting youtube videos, I would go with something else that generates human-friendly folders and filenames! I’ll bookmark Tubesync :)

      Yeah, 2.5+ years since the last release?

      Somehow I don’t think this has survived youtubes client war…
