Ended up with Tubearchivist hooked up to Jellyfin as the ultimate destination. Both apps have their rough edges, but once it's all set up it's one click to save the things I love most to my private collection!

No, as much as I love Browsertrix I think it’s the wrong shape for this. I’m not interested in capturing the YouTube player or on-page experience, just the video’s content and some metadata. Tubearchivist seems decent at that (via yt-dlp) and piping it into my media library.

Recently, I searched for the possibility to add my Apple TV purchases to Jellyfin. Instead, I found a way to add YouTube videos into Jellyfin.

That sounds awesome! As for yt, tubearchivist and their extensions comes close, for yt at least. Injects a download button on yt website and exports session to server for download and archiving.

you could do it yourself but tubearchivist will take at least a few hours to set up if it's not already there

Not exactly what you're after but TubeArchivist. No ads if it's all local.

I want to set up multiple for different people, but actually I'm going to check out Tubearchivist myself, this is the kind of thing I want to be able to replicate and do myself. Thanks!

Updating TubeArchivist today just reminded me how much I hate Docker and wish it weren't so often the only supported way to install useful apps in the selfhosted/homelab world.
Just let me run programs as programs on my OS. I will deal with managing the dependencies myself if I need to.
