YTPTube

YTPTube is a web-based GUI built around yt-dlp to simplify downloading and managing media from many video platforms. It focuses on queued and concurrent downloads, automation via schedules, and a UI that works for both technical and non-technical users.

Key Features

• Concurrent downloads with per-extractor and global limits
• Download support for single videos, playlists, channels, and live/upcoming streams
• Scheduling for automatic downloads (including monitoring sources via custom feeds)
• Presets system to apply reusable yt-dlp options, plus per-link overrides
• Notifications for download events (including Apprise targets)
• Built-in video player with support for sidecar external subtitles (ffmpeg required in non-Docker setups)
• Simple file browser to navigate downloaded content
• Basic authentication
• Optional integrations for Cloudflare challenges (via FlareSolverr) and yt-dlp impersonation helpers (Docker-focused)

Use Cases

• Personal media archiving of channels, playlists, and periodic uploads
• Automated fetching of live streams or scheduled content drops
• Home server “download box” with presets tailored for media server ingestion

Limitations and Considerations

• Some functionality is Docker-focused (for example automatic yt-dlp/pip updates and certain bundled helpers)
• The built-in player subtitle support may require ffmpeg availability depending on installation method

YTPTube is a practical companion to yt-dlp when you want a browser-based workflow, download automation, and repeatable presets. It is well-suited for homelabs and personal servers where multiple downloads and scheduled jobs are required.
