TubeSync is a self-hosted PVR (personal video recorder) for YouTube that syncs channels and playlists to local directories, wrapping yt-dlp and ffmpeg with a web interface and task scheduler. It integrates with media servers like Plex and Jellyfin to keep your local library updated automatically.
Use cases
- automatically download all videos from a YouTube channel to my media server
- sync YouTube playlists locally like Sonarr but for YouTube
- archive YouTube videos in a specific quality for Plex or Jellyfin
- run a hands-free YouTube downloader with retries on failure
- self-host a web UI to manage YouTube subscriptions and downloads
- download only the audio stream from YouTube music channels
When to choose
- you want scheduled, automatic syncing of YouTube channels or playlists
- you run a local media server (Plex or Jellyfin) and want YouTube content in it
- you need a web interface on top of yt-dlp with retry/backoff reliability
- you want format/quality selection for downloaded media
When to avoid
- you only need a one-off manual video download (yt-dlp alone is simpler)
- you need a streaming proxy rather than local downloads
- you cannot run Docker/Podman containers
- you need platforms beyond Plex/Jellyfin for media server integration
