December 13, 20232 yr Anyone? Old version I could copy-and-paste an URL, click the button, and away it goes. Now, clicking the button adds it to the list, but I have to click the actual download arrow icon to get it to download.

February 19, 20242 yr Anyone knows how to enable mutli-thread downloading ? also if it's possible to enable multi file download in the same time ?
February 24, 20242 yr is there a way to specify additional download parameters, such as: --write-description ? the output template is great, but doesn't quite let me do that^, thanks. the description contains the links to the artists/songs, etc. and this would help greatly 🙏

February 24, 20242 yr You are in the right place 😀. I just think your syntax is wrong. You should probably set the value to: {"writedescription": true} to respect the JSON format requirement (I assumed you had already some options set up with the right format). See https://github.com/alexta69/metube?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration-via-environment-variables for the details. It says: Quote YTDL_OPTIONS: Additional options to pass to youtube-dl, in JSON format. See available options here. They roughly correspond to command-line options, though some do not have exact equivalents here, for example --recode-video has to be specified via postprocessors. Also note that dashes are replaced with underscores. [...] The following example value for YTDL_OPTIONS embeds English subtitles and chapter markers (for videos that have them), and also changes the permissions on the downloaded video and sets the file modification timestamp to the date of when it was downloaded: environment: - 'YTDL_OPTIONS={"writesubtitles":true,"subtitleslangs":["en","-live_chat"],"updatetime":false,"postprocessors":[{"key":"Exec","exec_cmd":"chmod 0664","when":"after_move"},{"key":"FFmpegEmbedSubtitle","already_have_subtitle":false},{"key":"FFmpegMetadata","add_chapters":true}]}' Edited February 24, 20242 yr by Opawesome

I just got cookies going after a fair bit of trial and error. I added two entries, one a path for the cookies folder, and the other is an environment variable to specify the YTDL_OPTIONS. Path: Host Path: /mnt/user/appdata/MeTube/cookies Environment Variable: Key: YTDL_OPTIONS Value: {"cookiefile":"/cookies/cookies.txt"} Exported my cookie file from my browser, put it into the correct folder on my server, restarted MeTube and it works.
March 11, 20242 yr This youtube link does not work with mp3 download, but it works with online youtube-to-mp3 conversion. Could you please take a look. I'm running latest metube version. Thanks. Update: I found the cause of error: the filename is too long. I don't know how to solve it because I can't set a customs filename with meTube. Any workaround solution? Update2: I have changed the "Output Template" parameters from: %(playlist_title)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s to %(title)s.%(ext)s but meTube still can't convert it successfully. It still reported filename is too long, even the output filename is now less than 100 characters (94 to be exact including spaces). The status bar has some progress and then terminated. I did check the yt-dlp version, it is the latest one, 2024.03.10 I also tried converting it with yt-dlp.exe, same version, on my Win 11 terminal and it converted successfully PS C:\Users\axath> D:/yt-dlp.exe -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://youtu.be/z6clhiZ4w4E?si=-y_Foai1Qh2KmTYp [youtube] Extracting URL: https://youtu.be/z6clhiZ4w4E?si=-y_Foai1Qh2KmTYp [youtube] z6clhiZ4w4E: Downloading webpage [youtube] z6clhiZ4w4E: Downloading ios player API JSON [youtube] z6clhiZ4w4E: Downloading android player API JSON [youtube] z6clhiZ4w4E: Downloading m3u8 information [info] z6clhiZ4w4E: Downloading 1 format(s): 22 [download] Destination: ไข่มุก เพ็ญสินี เพลง เอาความขมขื่นไปทิ้งแม่โขง ｜ รอบ โจทย์เพลงทัศนาจร จากรายการเพลงเอกซีซั่น 3.mp4 [download] 100% of 27.54MiB in 00:00:01 at 23.78MiB/s PS C:\Users\axath> d:/yt-dlp.exe --version 2024.03.10 Edited March 18, 20242 yr by bthoven provide more updates
March 15, 20242 yr On 11/1/2021 at 3:51 PM, alexta69 said: Hey, Glad you're enjoying it! There's actually a PR being worked on right now (https://github.com/alexta69/metube/pull/73) that adds MP3 support. So hopefully that will be in the master version soon enough. Other features are not planned at the moment from my side, but contributions are welcome, if you want to take a stab at it Regarding YTDL_OPTIONS, it's specified that it's expected to be in JSON format, so it doesn't look to me that there's any information missing there. Alex has something happened to this docker? the download part works but when you want to edit them into or with another video there is no video this just started happening been using metube for 2 years now worked fine up to about 3 months ago so its not good unless you just want to watch it then its fine but if you want to use it in a video don't work you have to download the video then watch and screen rec it im mean i can just screen rec it from YouTube right from the get go no need to metube but if you have any info on what is going on thanks
March 16, 20242 yr after the last update, i can't download from crunchyroll what is the problem ? Edited March 16, 20242 yr by Azozo
June 1, 20242 yr Soooo, lets say someone 😐 entered a YT channel, and now the whole channel is downloading. Stopping/Restarting the container is not cancelling the download. How do I do that does someone cancel the process now? (Edit) I loove its simplicity, and clean layout, but really why isn't there a stop button? Edited June 1, 20242 yr by JustOverride
June 5, 20242 yr I am having trouble understanding how to download the video description and comments. How and where do I put these variables? I've read the above posts but am still confused. Also, is there a multi-threaded option whereby multiple videos can be downloaded at the same time?
June 7, 20242 yr I'm seeing in the log that youtube thinks I'm a bot and want me to log in. All downloads are failing. How do I log in?
July 20, 20241 yr So no one is monitoring this thread then? How do we pass yt credentials so we "log in" to yt and avoid the bot errors and failed downloads?

Hi, author of MeTube here - the MeTube project (https://github.com/alexta69/metube) does not see active development from me (because it's feature-complete as far as I'm concerned), but the version of yt-dlp that it comes with is upgraded automatically every time there's a new release, and once in a while I'm upgrading other dependencies too (including new versions of Angular). It's also open to contributions from anyone, for fixes or new features -- whenever there's an MR, it's discussed and merged. As to the Unraid template, I'm not the author of that (since I'm not an Unraid user), so I'm not sure whether anyone is maintaining it or not.

Hello, Right, it's https://github.com/KatyPurry/unraid who created the template I believe. Although he seems to be still active (on GitHub at least), he didn't notice that you suddenly deleted https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexta69/metube/master/favicon/android-chrome-384x384.png Or he does not care. Maybe it would be easier to ask you to put it back ?

Github : https://github.com/alexta69/metube Docker Hub : https://hub.docker.com/r/alexta69/metube Web GUI for youtube-dl (using the yt-dlp fork) with playlist support. Allows you to download videos from YouTube and dozens of other sites. This is not my project. I just created the template. Credits to alexta69 I know nothing about unraid templates, I just use them. Any way we can get a fix for permissions on unraid? Permissions are broken on any new folders created on Unraid and this makes it a pain to grab/view downloads from a windows machine for example as you need to run Docker Safe New Perms to fix permissions on folders/files every single time you download something in a new folder (like a new source, channel, etc). The permissions fix process takes several minutes every time.

The permissions fix process takes several minutes every time. That has nothing to do with the container. If you want files and folders to be written with specific permissions, you have to set this up - else they are the ones used in the container. Just add two variables to the container (if they don't exist). One "UID" with value "99" and one "GID" with value "100" (the Values should be Unraid standard I think - if it's not working, you must look them up in your system and use the ones from the user that needs access to them).
November 17, 20241 yr Seems MeTube is no longer available in the Community Apps. is there anything I can do to get it back?
