There's a couple of browser UIs for yt-dlp out there which you could configure to dump the videos into a folder configured in jellyfin. You're probably not gonna get metadata, but it will probably do the job
You can do it using
--write-info-jsonoption [1] and https://github.com/ankenyr/jellyfin-youtube-metadata-plugin which reads metadata from yt-dlp's .info.json files and displays it in Jellyfin.This is what I do - except I don't use a Web UI, but a script that downloads videos I bookmark on my shaarli instance [1]. Having a local copy of my bookmarked videos is nice (but takes quite a bit of disk space)
Oooh thanks for letting me know about the metadata JSON, I had no idea it could do that
