  • You can filter that list to show or hide subscribed channels with the toggle. Clicking on the channel banner or the channel name will direct you to the Channel Detail Page.

You can search your indexed channels by clicking on the search icon search icon. This will open a dedicated page.

Channel Detail

Each channel will get a dedicated channel detail page accessible at /channel/<channel-id>/ of your Tube Archivist. This page shows all the videos you have downloaded from this channel.

  • If you are subscribed to the channel, an Unsubscribe button will show, else the Subscribe button will show.
  • The Mark as Watched button will mark all videos of this channel as watched.

Additionally there is a Channel Playlist page, accessible at /channel/<channel-id>/playlist/ to show all indexed playlists from this channel.

On the Channel About page you can see additional metadata.

  • The button Delete Channel will delete the channel plus all videos of this channel, both media files and metadata additionally this will also delete playlists metadata belonging to that channel.

The channel customize form gives options to change settings on a per channel basis. Any configurations here will overwrite your configurations from the settings page.

  • Download Format: Overwrite the download quality for videos from this channel.
  • Auto Delete: Automatically delete watched videos from this channel after selected days.
  • Index Playlists: Automatically add all Playlists with at least a video downloaded to your index. Only do this for channels where you care about playlists as this will slow down indexing new videos for having to check which playlist this belongs to.
  • SponsorBlock: Using SponsorBlock to get and skip sponsored content. Customize per channel: You can disable or enable SponsorBlock for certain channels only to overwrite the behavior set on the Settings page. Selecting unset will remove the overwrite and your setting will fall back to the default on the settings page.
