Tangential to your question.. but I’m curious if any of these suggestions work with Jellyfin in a way that lets each user subscribe to YouTube channels?
My understanding is that almost all of these solutions will just drop YouTube videos in a directory and then they’ll be available to all users, rather than just the user who might be interested in that content?
I'd like to second pinchflat. It's great. I have it set up to monitor certain channels but also have it set up to monitor a playlist. Anything I add to the playlist gets auto downloaded. I don't even have to log into it really it just works.
Can't get any simpler than the terminal, can you? I just paste links into the terminal after a yt-dlp command.
Sure, but OP specifically asked for a “manager.” Plus typing it out means looking up flags and switches each time
Does tubearchivist fit this bill?
tubearchivist is great but probably overkill for someone just looking to subscribe and watch with Plex/Jellyfin instead of the YouTube app.
MeTube
…ok - what’s wrong with MeTube?
Nothing
But someone already commented that
And provided a link for it
Dunno, you're referring to your one downvote? I use Metube as well, works pretty well for me so far.
Does YTZero fit?

It likely is overkill but may fit the bill with the ytdlp extension.
Not exactly what I had in mind but I'll check it out, thanks!
