Anyone have any experience with TubeArchivist? (sh.itjust.works)

Ive got a lot of downloaded YouTube videos. I used to play them through Plex back when I ran that, but once I switched to Jellyfin there wasn't a good way to set them up at all. So I was super excited when I found TubeArchivist. All the posts I saw on it seemed to be positive, so I set it up yesterday in Docker.

It seemed to work alright at first, but it took a really long time for the server to start up once I started running the containers. I'm also running Navisphere, Jellyfin, Kiwix, and a Tor snowflake node, which all booted up instantly, but this took 5-10 minutes to be accessible. It also took like twice the Docker resources of all my other containers just to run.

Doing anything in it was super slow too. Logging in was unresponsive, took a couple minutes to load. There was no feedback either so I thought it was just frozen. I had all my videos I had downloaded previously, so I tried importing them and that just brought my system to a complete crawl. It maxed out Dockers allocated resources, even exceeding the CPU allocation. It also caused Docker to crash twice.

Does anyone have any experience with this program? Did I do something wrong in my docker-compose file (I just modified the example in the github repository) or is the program just super poorly optimized? I've been able to run all the other containers on my system just fine. It has a lot of the same functionality as Jellyfin, which does not do this kind of crap. I was so excited but its been a huge letdown. Any thoughts?

I tried it alongside Pinchflat and ended up settling on Pinchflat.

Why? I'm not going to say TA is bad, it worked well, but Pinchflat's logic works better for me. Also, I was using TA with an existing Elastic search cluster. When I switched my logs to Loki/Garage I decided not to keep the ES cluster around just for TA.

I took a look at pinchflat but it seemed more focussed on the archival side of things rather than the playback side. Would you say thats accurate? Because honestly all I'm looking for is a frontend to easily watch my videos. I only download an odd video here and there and for that purpose yt-dlp works perfectly fine.

That is absolutely true yes, I'm not sure you can even preview what you have downloaded in Pinchflat.

We use Jellyfin/Kodi for playback generally
