MeTube Download

MeTube is a self-hosted web UI for yt-dlp, used to download videos and audio from YouTube and many other sites without opening a terminal. Paste a URL in the browser, choose video quality or audio-only format, and MeTube queues the job, showing real-time progress. It can fetch single videos, whole playlists, channels, subtitles, thumbnails, and metadata; audio extraction and format conversion are handled with ffmpeg.

Advanced options include custom output filename templates, separate video/audio folders, concurrent or sequential download modes, playlist item limits, and channel subscriptions that periodically check for new uploads and auto-queue them. It also accepts raw yt-dlp options via environment variables, so you can control codecs, subtitles, rate limits, cookies, and postprocessing.

got permission issue - error I get: "/Volume1/Media/Tubes" is not a usable download folder. It must already exist, be outside system locations, and be writable by the metube user (grant access in your NAS sharing settings first).

see screens as user mettube have full access to /Volume1/Media/Tubes

Did you set r/w permission /Volume1/Media for user metube? Do this in TOS 7 control panel > privileges > shared folder > permission > application permission.

thanks that worked
