I'm looking for a tool that monitors a YouTube channel, then downloads only new videos into a folder.

I found ChannelHoarder, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and/or if anyone had any other suggestions?

Also, sorry if this is not the right place for this question. Mods, feel free to remove if this isn't the right place.

Just last week I set up https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub on my homelab because I'm sick of how enshittified the subscription page on YouTube is these days. Even fetches sonsorblock data.

Welcome to the club! It looks like the other recommended solutions have a UI for browsing as well, which is cool. As it is my ytdl-sub feeds into a library for Emby so I personally don't need another UI, but it is tempting. Only issue I could see is the same one I had to fix: Some videos only had AV1 available, and support for AV1 encoding only begins at the very recent Intel Core Ultra and AMD 7040 CPUs. Without those even 720p playback is laggy af.. I have an RTX 3060 at my disposal for HW transcoding but who knows if those YouTube archiver/players support it

Edit: Just did some research, it seems that the other services don't have support for HW transcoding or multiple users. And they are much more resource-intensive than ytdl-sub + Emby
