I’m looking to download a number of educational youtube videos for future reference. Looking for a reliable way to download videos. OS is Ubuntu. FF extensions and docker containers all good. I don’t really want to install an executable on bare metal unless it is a flatpak.

My goal is for the downloaded videos to be accessed locally via jellyfin. Jellyfin is already sorted.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

    but unless i am missing some edge case, there isn’t really a reason, downloading video from youtube is perfectly legal, it wouldn’t work otherwise after all

      Love the handle, BTW. :)

      I think downloading is against Google’s TOS. Whether that makes it illegal is a question for a lawyer.

        maybe, but you are not going to jail for that. at least not today.
