Project Updates
- All documentation has moved to a more flexible and easier to extend platform: docs.tubearchivist.com. This includes the old wiki pages, detailed installation instructions, API documentation and more. Shout out to @jonasrosland and @micah686 for doing the bulk of the transfer.
- Upon popular request, there is now a proof of concept Jellyfin integration: tubearchivist/jellyfin linking these two platforms together. This allows you to sync metadata from Tube Archivist to Jellyfin. Please test it and provide feedback.
- This fixes an inconsistent file and folder permission handling, additional to the media files, this will now also
chownnew channel folders and subtitle files with yourHOST_UIDandHOST_GIDvalues, if you have set them. To retroactively apply that for all channel files run:
docker exec -it tubearchivist chown -R $UID:$GID /youtube- The parsing of the
TA_HOSTvariable is improved: This now should correctly translate most values that were previously through an error. If you are running TA behind SSL, you’ll have to specify the protocol in the variable, docs. - To be able to offer something additional to my very real eternal gratitude for becoming a sponsor of this project, I created members.tubearchivist.com. This allows you to get realtime notifications from YouTube directly into your Tube Archivist to add new videos to your download queue.
