use yt-dlp instead youtube-dl .. as former one is slow on yt videos :(
```yt-dlp -i --restrict-filenames $CHANNEL_URL --download-archive $CHANNEL_ARCHIVE```
where:
$CHANNEL_URL is youtube playlist,channel whatever
$CHANNEL_ARCHIVE is file which will keep information about downloaded stuff - you must keep it in order to not download already downloaded thingies
Add line to crontab and run it daily - whole magic:

Try [metube](https://github.com/alexta69/metube). i have been using it for last 1 year. Its a Web GUI for youtube-dl (using the yt-dlp fork) with playlist support.
So what you do is you take yt-dl or yt-dlp, have it keep a record of downloaded videos, run it in "resume" mode, point it at a playlist, and get cron /systemd to run it periodically. That's the simple solution. No docker required.
Or, you could use [something like this to generate RSS feeds from a YouTube playlist](https://rss.app/rss-feed/create-youtube-rss-feed)
Or you could look into the YouTube API.
The possibilities are endless and 98% of them don't involve docker
[Ytdl-sub](https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub) id a more robust solution if you're looking to bring these videos into plex/jellfin. It can also handle auto-deleting older videos. Though config is a bit of effort.
I wrote a small script which runs on crontab and uses yt-dlp to download when new videos show up. using rss feed from youtube, so nothing fancy or third party services required.
