What this? I cant hear you over my high definition yt-dlp content.
Where i am going I haven’t needed a google account in over a year.

Are you familiar with Jellyfin?

If you can set up a server of this then its as easy as making the library folder the output folder for yt-dlp

I didnt even have to write me own script. I gave chatgpt a notepad with channel urls and just told it to write me code to load these urls one by one and download the Last 2 videos. (Trust me you dont want to accidentally download a whole channel). Yt dlp can maintain a log of sort so videos aren't downloaded more then once.
I run this script on a schedule and delete the video when i am done with it. Nice and clean. I can also recommend trying to run an invididious instance for general video browsing but mine took some twiddling to setup right.

Also if someone else wants a prebuilt solution for this, I've heard good things about tube archivist
Cheers!
