Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p

In all seriousness, I couldn’t find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It’s still fairly rough, but it works, and i’d love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.

services:
    pytube-gui:
        container_name: pytube-gui
        image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
        ports:
            - 8501:8501
        volumes:
            - /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go

Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

    Works pretty good but basic error handling is missing. I made a issue and a PR for it already. My first try at streamlit.

    I use Seal on Android and yt-dlp-gui on Linux because they’re native apps using native theming/design languages, but it’s always cool to have another option!

    Idea for an unrelated browser extension:

    Add like 5-6 reccomended videos with similar tags for a platform other than YT to the top of YT Reccomendations.

    For people who want to spend less time on YT but dont want to spend more time searching.

    Is it possible to submit a channel and download all the videos (also new videos when they are released).
