How do you organize downloaded YT content? (lemmy.world)

I use yt-dlp to download and the YT metadata plug-in for metadata. But idk how to actually organize the actual files?

Do you create a separate library?
Do you put it in the shows library?
How do you separate videos by channel?
Is there a way to auto-download artwork for each channel?

I put them in a separate jellyfin generic media library and name them with chanelname - video title.

Then i sort by date added to simulate the YouTube subscription view.

I remove what i watched and dont fancy keeping. Ive considered re organizing videos i keep into their own series.

Three options you could explore: Tube Archivist (with plugin), Pinchflat and Toothpick.

(No personal experience in using Toothpick)

Create a separate library for YouTube contents, then TA or PF will create different 'shows' inside it. The TA plugin or PF built-in option to generate NFO files will prepare all metadata necessary for Jellyfin import. To separate the channels, you simply set them up separately in TA or PF then they will show as different 'shows'. All these GUI applications are built on top of yt-dlp by the way.
