One of the things I wish I could solve better, was a way to search for and show decent search results that you could then pipe into `yt-dlp`. Every method of doing this I've seen is basically a "hack" and often breaks or doesn't work at all. Anyone have a better solution to this that lets you basically build a frontend/proxy to Youtube or lets you Search, Show results and Download what you want to see lateR?

Since youtube api won't help with this someone needs to build a video index and a good search algorithm on top. Would be nice to be able to search through indexed subtitles too.

I don't even want an "algorihtm" per se. Just search, show results and a download or paly. That's it.

By algorithm I mean a scoring function to tell which video is relenat to the search.

Rather than using Tdarr, wouldn't it be simpler to use yt-dlp's `--recode-video` option?

If the jellyfin receives content from anywhere else, a separate job for transcoding would cover those too.

Every time you watch a youtube video you are downloading the youtube video to disk. It is just to prevent the lawyers from exploding that we all pretend that deleting it afterword means it never was downloaded.
But yes, everyone should be not deleting the videos they've downloaded.

Technically watching a video only streams video chunks into memory. But of course there are tools pretending to be a youtube client to stream it to a file.
