Not retrieving any metadata at all

[Fletcher-Alderton]

I installed yt-dlp with sudo apt-get install yt-dlp and it worked fine I then added the repository in jelly fin, installed, restarted, and checked all the boxes for it to be used for my yt folder. I tried manual adding the video id into the youtube-metadata field in jellyfin, but still no luck.

Do you have any logs? It would be helpful to turn on debugging and provide logs.

Here is mine:

Even manually downloading the info.json files didnt work. yt-dlp --no-download --write-info-json --cookies-from-browser [REDACTED] --progress -I 1-8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVSJvfitmuQ&list=PLphDhroSqrPWi6RbljtGPnl8xr0pmzyb_&pp=iAQB

[ankenyr]

When you say

Even manually downloading the info.json files didn't work

What do you exactly mean? The error message says that a directory does not exist. Have you tried looking to see if /home/deck/Vaults/jellyfin-media-server/cache/youtubemetadata/CUO8secmc0g exists? Or and of the parent directories?

I really cannot do anything without being able to reproduce issues or understand what the root cause is.

Closing due to no response.
