This is a proof of concept, looking for feedback. For the time being, only use it for your testing environment, *not* for your main Jellyfin server. This requires Tube Archivist *unstable* builds for API compatibility.

## Core functionality
- Import each YouTube channel as a TV Show
- Each year will become a Season of that Show
- Load artwork and additional metadata into Jellyfin
## How does that work?

At the core, this links the two APIs together: This first queries the Jellyfin API for YouTube videos for any videos that don't have metadata to then populate the required fields from Tube Archivist. Then as a secondary step this will transfer the artwork.

This doesn't depend on any additional Jellyfin plugins, that is a stand alone solution.
## Setup Jellyfin
0. Add the Tube Archivist **/youtube** folder as a media folder for Jellyfin.
- IMPORTANT: This needs to be mounted as **read only** aka `ro`, otherwise this will mess up Tube Archivist.
Example Jellyfin setup:
```yml
jellyfin:
image: jellyfin/jellyfin
container_name: jellyfin
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: host
volumes:
- ./volume/jellyfin/config:/config
- ./volume/jellyfin/cache:/cache
- ./volume/tubearchivist/youtube:/media/youtube:ro # note :ro at the end
```
1. Add a new media library to your Jellyfin server for your Tube Archivist videos, required options:
- Content type: `Shows`
- Displayname: `YouTube`
- Folder: Root folder for Tube Archivist videos
- Deactivate all Metadata downloaders
- Automatically refresh metadata from the internet: `Never`
- Deactivate all Image fetchers
2. Let Jellyfin complete the library scan
- This works best if Jellyfin has found all media files and Tube Archivist isn't currently downloading.
- At first, this will add all channels as a Show with a single Season 1.

- Then this script will populate the metadata.

## Install Standalone
1. Install required libraries for your environment, e.g.
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. rename/copy *config.sample.json* to *config.json*.
3. configure these keys:
- `ta_video_path`: Absolute path of your /youtube folder from Tube Archivist
- `ta_url`: Full URL where Tube Archivist is reachable
- `ta_token`: Tube Archivist API token, accessible from the settings page
- `jf_url`: Full URL where Jellyfin is reachable
- `jf_token`: Jellyfin API token
Then run the script with python, e.g.
```python
python main.py
```
## Install with Docker
