## Tube Archivist Jellyfin Integration Import your Tube Archivist media folder into Jellyfin ![home screenshot](assets/screenshot-home.png?raw=true "Jellyfin Home") This is a proof of concept, expect bugs, 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 the goes to look up the required metadata in the Tube Archivist API. Then as a secondary step this will transfer the artwork as indexed from Tube Archivist. 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 Coming soon...
