Video Downloader. https://github.com/Unrud/video-downloader

Strips all junk off any video url so you have the mp4 or mkv.

Use this to add youtube videos/playlists to jellyfin. Doesn't have to be youtube. Downloads any videos from a link.

Can also save audio only from video links if you want to.

And if you find yourself needing a less simple but more powerful tool for this:

i've been using yt-dlp for youtube videos for ages (supports about a million others as well)

Supports metadata nicely which is beneficial, obviously.
