Youtarr is a self-hosted web application that automatically downloads YouTube channel and playlist content, organizes it with metadata for media servers, and schedules downloads via cron. It integrates with Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi for library refreshes, native playlist mirroring, and watch-status sync.
Use cases
- automatically download new videos from subscribed youtube channels
- mirror youtube playlists into plex or jellyfin as native playlists
- archive youtube channels before videos are deleted
- watch youtube content offline without ads
- schedule cron-based youtube downloads with duplicate prevention
- create kid-safe curated youtube libraries on a media server
- sync watched status between plex and my youtube library
- download youtube videos as mp3 audio only
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted youtube DVR that keeps a media server library in sync
- you need scheduled, hands-off channel and playlist downloads with metadata and artwork
- you want watch-status filtering and multi-library organization for family use
When to avoid
- you only need a one-off video download from the command line
- you want a desktop GUI downloader without a server or docker
- you cannot self-host or expose a web app on your network
