## What it is
YTPTube is a self-hosted web-based download manager and automation layer for yt-dlp. It combines scheduled tasks, metadata-driven conditions, and reusable presets to queue, download, and organize media into a prepared media library.

## Use cases
- download youtube videos automatically
- self-hosted yt-dlp web interface
- archive youtube channels and playlists on a schedule
- prepare downloads for plex kodi jellyfin media library
- queue video downloads from browser extension
- automate recurring media downloads with metadata rules

## When to choose
- you want a web UI and automation on top of yt-dlp
- you need scheduled channel/playlist archiving with metadata-based rules
- you want NFO sidecars, artwork, and media-server-ready naming
- you need concurrent download queues, notifications, and an HTTP API

## When to avoid
- you only need occasional one-off downloads via the yt-dlp CLI
- you need a torrent or general-purpose download manager
- you want a fully headless solution with no web interface
