I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.
Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥
Download a channel’s entire video list with yt-dlp and create offline YouTube?
Why?
Couldn’t you just use something like Libretube with your favorite piped instance?
There are some QoL perks when you watch downloaded youtube videos through a selfhosted media server (e.g. jellyfin). Video watch progress is saved, and you can watch on all your devices (desktop, mobile, tv).
Sometimes I’ll watch something on my mobile while preparing food, and then I’ll switch to the TV when I’m done cooking, mid-video. This works seamless with that set up.
Alternatives constantly break, like NewPipe. There’s something really nice about using offline media with no chance of connection buffering issues.
Or automate it with ytdl-sub, see my comment here.
