Features

I've used Tubesync quite a bit.

Features that would make a great addition. Here's a list of them:

• video playback targeted for specific devices, meaning specific video/audio codecs
• allow taking notes for each item
• allow searching video descriptions/titles or notes

The first one would help a lot on old devices that only know certain codecs. If a codec is not available for download, ffmpeg could be used to convert to that one.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm unlikely to implement transcoding in tubesync itself. The design is you would download media with tubesync then have something like Plex or Jellyfin play the media on your devices and Plex / Jellyfin would do the transcoding. You can select codecs for your preferred download format for the source, just not convert it on the fly.

What sort of notes would you want to add to media? What would they be used for?

Some sort of basic search could be useful, I'll put that on the wishlist.

Cheers.

How does one currently use Jellyfin together with tubesync?

What sort of notes would you want to add to media?

For example I download a lot of courses and lectures and it'd be useful to be able to take notes from them.

What would they be used for?

To search through them mainly when I need to review some of the material.

Some sort of basic search could be useful, I'll put that on the wishlist.

Thank you 👍

@wsdookadr Take a look at tubearchivist maybe better fit your needs.
I actually just switch from tubearchivist to tubesync coz I mainly do playback from jellyfin, so don't need tubearchivist in my case

How does one currently use Jellyfin together with tubesync?

I use it to populate a directory specific to my user that syncs against a playlist. When I want a copy of a video, I add it to the playlist, then sometime later it shows up in my user directory.

Once you have that much, you just point Jellyfin at as many directories as you like when you create libraries in Jellyfin. I have two libraries so far, one for shared videos, like daily news, and the other for my personal playlist as I described.

The libraries can do real time monitoring in Jellyfin and have user permissions setup, and of course, Jellyfin does any transcoding a particular device might require. I also have my Jellyfin configured to handle deleting videos from the disk, as the user requests, for some libraries. Others are deleted by tubesync automatically because some videos are better watched offline but aren't useful after a month or two.

This should give you, or others who read this, a few ideas.
