Welcome to the MeTube wiki — the companion to the README. The README has the quick start and the reference for every environment variable; the wiki has everything else: guides, recipes, integrations, and troubleshooting.
- Subscriptions — auto-download new uploads from channels and playlists.
- Using browser cookies — download private, age-restricted, and "confirm you're not a bot" videos.
-
Sending links to MeTube — browser extensions, bookmarklets, iOS and Android apps, Raycast.
- Bookmarklets — send the current browser page to MeTube with one click.
- yt-dlp options — global options, presets, and per-download overrides, and how they combine.
- YTDL_OPTIONS Cookbook — example configurations: notifications, metadata, SponsorBlock chapters, and more.
- Output templates — how MeTube names files and sorts them into folders.
- OUTPUT_TEMPLATE Cookbook — example filename templates.
- Hardware-accelerated transcoding — re-encode downloads on an Intel/AMD GPU.
- yt-dlp plugins — load yt-dlp plugins into the container, e.g. to accept links from Invidious or Piped.
- Reverse proxy configurations — built-in HTTPS, and NGINX, Apache, Caddy, and swag examples.
- Troubleshooting FAQ — common issues and how to diagnose them.
To contribute a recipe or configuration, open an issue with the snippet and a short description of what it does — it will be added here with attribution.
