HomeTube is a self-hosted web UI (built on Streamlit and yt-dlp) for downloading single videos and playlists from YouTube and 1800+ other platforms. It organizes downloads into media-server-friendly structures with ad/sponsor blocking, quality control, subtitle embedding, and playlist sync for Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.
Use cases
- download youtube videos to my plex library
- self-hosted video downloader with web ui
- sync a youtube playlist to jellyfin automatically
- download videos without ads and sponsor segments
- organize downloaded videos for my homelab media server
- embed subtitles when downloading videos
- download videos from tiktok vimeo reddit to local media server
When to choose
- you run a Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby server and want YouTube content integrated automatically
- you want a friendly web UI over yt-dlp instead of CLI commands
- you need playlist synchronization with resilient tracking
- you want native ad and sponsor blocking via SponsorBlock
- you want network-accessible downloads from any device
When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight CLI downloader without a web interface
- you need a full *arr-style automated subscription pipeline rather than on-demand downloads
- you cannot run Docker or a Python 3.11+ environment
- you need to download from platforms requiring DRM circumvention
