All the downloaders that I find only downloads to the server and I only want a UI without ads to make easies to use yt-dlp without the terminal.
YoutubeDL-Material is exactly what you’re looking for. It does both, either download to the machine accessing the software in the browser, or download to a location on the server. Best of both worlds. It’s actually a great bit of software, does more than you expect.
So why put the UI on the server and not in the client??
Might be technically possible with WASM nowadays.
what does wasm have to do with this?
WASM is a mechanism that would enable yt-dlp to run completely in the browser, which would be one way of accomplishing what OP wants.
Jdownloader
Just start a yt-dlp frontend on that machine that should have the files in the first place?
“Just download an YT downloader application” is not what OP was asking for.
I too have been looking for a centralized YT-DLP frontend that I can use to either 1. Store vids on my server 2. Give me (or more importantly, my wife) a prompt to download them.
Metube can do that, but that’s also not what OP asked for since he does NOT want to store the files on the server.
This MeTube in a local docker container seems to do what OP wants:
https://github.com/alexta69/metube
tag /u/kutu-dev
I have MeTube running, it does not what OP wants (unless he reconsidered) because it downloads the files to server storage.
But you can just start the container on his PC, then the Server is his PC?
Sure but then you can just start yt-dlp itself, with a GUI, no need to install a docker environment…
Cross platform https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui
Sure
So, you’re saying the link I posted actually does do what the OP wants?
this could be what you’re looking for.
