Describe the solution you'd like selfhosted Invidious with an option to "Save to server" where the admin can specify a default path.

Additional context Save to Jellyfin managed locations

What do you mean by save to server? Like downloading a video directly to a path on the server?

kklot commented 3 years ago

Yes, does that make sense?

I don't think we are going to implement something like this because there are already a lot of existing tools for that.

An example is youtube-dl: https://youtube-dl.org/

If you don't like command line then you can use web ui for youtube-dl like this project: https://github.com/d0u9/youtube-dl-webui

It's completely out of scope.

Invidious isn't a downloader it never was, and never will be. Stick youtube-dl/yt-dlp and projects using it.

Well OK then. I would not have asked if there is not a prominent Download button with a lot of options to chose from. Thanks.

@kklot I agree that this is indeed a problem.
