thinking of writing a small/quick youtube-dl web frontend, sort of like put.io
@sneak I use Alltube, if you’re looking for something: https://github.com/Rudloff/alltube
@mike this is sort of the right direction but i don't install php apps unless i have to (something this simple i'd just rewrite in a real language) and i want something that does caching/history, and auto-refreshes channels (and pre-downloads them).
sort of like an rss reader but for youtube.
@xorman @mike but it doesn't cache the videos of subscriptions locally, does it?
i want to, for example, have a raspberry pi I bring with me places that has hundreds of gb of video on it, and only downloads new stuff from channels as released (due to shit slow/metered mobile connections), and can be used locally/offline, but stays current when connected to the internet.
rss isn't the goal, the net effect of a "download my feeds automatically for offline reading" that an RSS reader provides
@sneak @mike sounds like a peertube instance with a youtube-dl plugin for adding new videos. would be neat
