I had Pinchflat set up on my server and never got around to putting it back in after I nuked it. I remember organizing backed up videos in jellyfin was a mess I never quite got working as well as I’d like.

I see there’s a couple alternatives mentioned on the Pinchflat GitHub. What is everybody else using to accomplish this?

        If you installed with pip, simply re-run the same command that was used to install the program

        Simply running pip install yt-dlp doesn’t update though, right? You need to add an upgrade flag, so either:

        • pip install yt-dlp --upgrade
        • pip install yt-dlp -U

        EDIT: Maybe I should actually read this documentation that I am commenting about. Their steps to initially install it with PIP mention to use the -U flag anyway. That flag is meant for updating, but it won’t make the package install wrong if used during initial installation of the package or anything, so no reason not to.

      Yt-dlp is the way. J-Downloader is okay too if you need a good interface but dlp is just too damn powerful to not use
