Does there exist a “light weight” YouTube self hosted clone.

Something like plex for YouTube?

I want to auto download videos from my favourite podcasts, but then have a super simple dashboard that shows the videos and lets me watch them.

Yep, just add the channels to a text file and itll download them for you and keep them up to date. Put the script into crontab. Zero running processes and only a couple of KB on disk. That's as Lightweight as you can get.

You could have a shortcut or hotkey that reads it from your clipboard and appends.

Just add the destination dir to your media player (or set it to your videos folder) and you're done.

Wow thank you internet stranger!

I'd use https://flexget.com + Plex for that

Just use plex?

I have tried but it’s really taxing. A lot of the videos are like daily podcasts or whatever and it’s a battle to get them to import correctly, with correct naming, etc.
