Archived YouTube Video Finder
I recently found ytdl-sub which is basically a metadata wrapper around yt-dlp to help you save videos in a format library software like Plex etc supports. Rather than having some horribly named videos with metadata files just taking up space.

[Release] My collection of yt-dlp archival scripts with sensible defaults. The configuration files offer explanations as to why certain options are used and also let you easily comment/uncomment lines as desired to suit your setup and preferences.
I don't mean to take the limelight away from this, was probably a ton of work. I used to have a similar bash setup at one point, then later created this tool to standardize yt-dlp archiving: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

We need a community archiving effort for YouTube channels. What's most crucial to protect and how do we get organised?
I'm biased because I'm the author, but I think ytdl-sub could shine here: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub

GUI automatic youtube downloader for Plex.
I use the ytdl-sub project and it does a great job preserving the metadata and putting it in a format Plex can use without a lot of fuss. Maybe see about integrating with that instead of roll-your-own? A GUI is nice but I just have this set to run on a cron a couple times a day, set and forget.

YouTube to start blocking third-party apps that don't show ads
Can't recommend SmartTube enough: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
Includes crowdsourced sponsor block as well. The day YouTube goes the Twitch route and starts embedding ads is the day I stop using it. Literally unwatchable at this point without adblocking.
