Is there a way to have my own Youtube-like interface for downloaded YT Videos? (lemmy.ml)

I'm making my own Jellyfin home server and filling it with 100% totally legal content wink wink

Anyway, I was thinking about downloading some notorious YT videos, like documentaries or funny videos or MV's. I wonder if there is a way to add them to Jellyfin or have some kind of YT like interface for when I want to watch them from my server.

Thanks.

Tubearchivist works well for me and integrates with jellyfin.

You could also setup an API to pull the metadata from YT videos like the description and title from YT directly.

I don't know anything about jellyfin so no idea if this actually fits your requirements, but hosting your own invidious instance would give you a YouTube web interface which you could use to watch directly or download for later.

For what it's worth, emby does pull YouTube data in for me, as I have a few YouTube video series in my erm media folder and was surprised it automatically brought the metadata. So jellyfin might have something similar built in.
