MeTube
A self-hosted web UI for yt-dlp to download videos, audio, and playlists from YouTube and dozens of other sites.
What is MeTube?
MeTube is a self-hosted web application that serves as a graphical user interface for the yt-dlp command-line video downloader. It allows users to download videos, audio, subtitles, and thumbnails from YouTube and dozens of other supported websites through a browser-based dashboard. The project solves the problem of managing complex yt-dlp commands by providing an accessible, configurable web UI for both one-off downloads and automated subscriptions.
Users who want to download media from various websites for offline viewing, archiving, or personal use, and prefer a self-hosted, privacy-focused solution over online download services. It's particularly useful for those who manage large collections, subscribe to channels, or need advanced download customization.
Developers choose MeTube because it combines the extensive site support and flexibility of yt-dlp with the convenience of a modern web interface. Its self-hosted nature ensures privacy and control, while features like subscription management, configurable presets, and browser integration streamline the download workflow beyond what command-line tools offer alone.
