MeTube is a self-hosted web UI for yt-dlp that lets users download videos, audio, playlists, and channels from YouTube and dozens of other sites via a browser interface. It runs primarily as a multi-arch Docker container and supports subscriptions that automatically queue new uploads from channels and playlists.
Use cases
- download youtube videos through a browser instead of the command line
- self-host a yt-dlp web interface for my home server
- rip audio from youtube videos as mp3
- download entire playlists and channels
- automatically fetch new uploads from channels i follow
- give family members an easy way to save videos without using yt-dlp themselves
When to choose
- you want a friendly web UI on top of yt-dlp for yourself or a household
- you run a self-hosted media stack (e.g., alongside Jellyfin/Plex) and want automated downloads
- you need playlist/channel downloads and subscription-based auto-queuing
- you prefer a Docker-deployable, multi-arch service
When to avoid
- you only need occasional scripted downloads and are comfortable with the yt-dlp CLI
- you need a GUI desktop app rather than a web service
- you require features yt-dlp supports that MeTube does not expose in its UI
