## Tube Archivist Jellyfin Integration
|
|
Import your Tube Archivist media folder into Jellyfin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repo looks for regular contributors. If this is a useful integration, consider improving upon it.
|
|
|
|
This requires Tube Archivist v0.4.0 or later 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.
|
|
|
|
This is a *one way* sync, syncing metadata from TA to Jellyfin. This syncs in particular:
|
|
- Video title
|
|
- Video description
|
|
- Video date published
|
|
- Channel name
|
|
- Channel description
|
|
|
|
## Setup Jellyfin
|
|
|
|
Take a look at the example docker-compose.yml provided.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
3. Backdrops
|
|
- In your Jellyfin installation under > *Settings* > *Display* > enable *Backdrops* for best channel art viewing experience.
|
|
|
|
## Install with Docker
|
|
An example configuration is provided in the docker-compose.yml file. Configure these environment variables:
|
|
- `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
|
|
- `JF_FOLDER`: Folder override if your folder is not named "YouTube" on your Filesystem.
|
|
- `LISTEN_PORT`: Optionally change the port where the integration is listening for messages. Defaults to `8001`. If you change this, make sure to also change the json link for auto trigger as described below.
|
|
|
|
Mount the `/youtube` folder from Tube Archivist also in this container at `/youtube` to give this integration access to the media archive.
|
|
|
|
### Manual trigger
|
|
For an initial import or for other irregular occasions, trigger the library scan from outside the container, e.g.:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it tubearchivist-jf python main.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Auto trigger
|
|
Use the notification functionality of Tube Archivist to automatically trigger a library scan whenever the download task completes in Tube Archivist. For the `Start download` schedule on your settings page add a json Apprise link to send a push notification to the `tubearchivist-jf` container on task completion, make sure to specify the port, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
json://tubearchivist-jf:8001
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install Standalone
|
|
1. Install required libraries for your environment, e.g.
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install requests
|
|
```
|
|
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
|
|
- `jf_folder`: Name of the folder where TubeArchivist puts the files into
|
|
|
|
Then run the script from the main folder with python, e.g.
|
|
```python
|
|
python app/main.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
You can only have *one* folder called **YouTube** in your Jellyfin.
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin needs to be able to see the temporary season folders created by this extensions. You will see messages like `waiting for seasons to be created` before you will run into a `TimeoutError`, if that doesn't happen in a reasonable time frame.
|
|
|
|
Some ideas for why that is:
|
|
- Your JF busy, too slow or is already refreshing another library and is not picking up the folder in time.
|
|
- JF doesn't have the permissions to see the folder created by the extension.
|
|
- You didn't mount the volumes as expected and JF is looking in the wrong place.
