Hello. 1st time caller, long time lurker. If I wanted to get a bunch of music videos for a theme party (in this case goth 80s) what would be the best source? Are there like mtv torrents by year or anything to make the collecting less tedious?
We thank you for your support.
I have a few downloaded from YouTube, but I don’t have a good way of playing them. Jellyfin stops after each one. I want a playlist shuffling between them.
I was just going to use vlc?
I tend to rip music videos from youtube with yt1s.com
It’s manual and tedious, but works. I’d like a solution like the arrs, but I also don’t keep many music videos so 🤷
If you can find a playlist of videos you can download whole lists with ytdlp.
I was doing something like this, using FakeTV and Plex/Jellyfin, and uh, sadly, the answer I came up with was that no, there’s not.
I ended up combining a number of private torrents, usenet downloads, and a LOT of YouTube downloads into a Fake-MTV stream.
The good news, at least, is that if you’re wanting anything remotely interesting to more than 3 people ever, someone has put the music videos on YouTube and thus those are easy to find. The channel announcements and news segments and other stuff that made MTV actually MTV was a lot harder, lol.
Ok, I can work with harvesting YT but what do you use to do it? There are multiple websites that CLAIM to do this but they all are sketch.
yt-dlp is my go to. It’s the open source project most other things use behind the scenes
