# Tube Archivist - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `tubearchivist.com` ## Description Tube Archivist is a brand that offers a self-hosted YouTube media server, providing an efficient solution for managing and enjoying your YouTube video collection. With the Tube Archivist browser extension, you can easily subscribe to your favorite YouTube channels, download videos, and index them for easy searchability. The core functionality of Tube Archivist allows you to play videos and keep track of viewed and unviewed videos, so you never miss out on any content. One of the main challenges of growing your YouTube collection is finding specific videos when you need them. Tube Archivist solves this problem by indexing your video collection with metadata from YouTube, allowing you to organize and search your archived videos offline through a convenient web interface. Recent updates to Tube Archivist include automatically changing and rebuilding the video, channel, and download queue indexes. The companion browser extension also received an update, enabling you to control the auto-start behavior. Additionally, the real-time monitor client now gives sponsors the ability to control auto-start behavior. Tube Archivist enhances your video indexing and searching experience by adding video stream metadata such as codecs, bitrate, and file size. It also aggregates channel metadata, providing information such as total file size, total videos, and total playback. The brand has made various improvements to ensure better reliability, such as using yt-dlp for channel metadata extraction and fixing issues with backup runs and playlist ID parsing. To make the most of Tube Archivist, make sure to have all your media files mounted before updating, as the initial indexing process may take some time, approximately 1 minute per 1000 videos. The interface will become available again once the process is complete. Overall, Tube Archivist is an indispensable tool for YouTube enthusiasts who want to organize, search, and enjoy their video collection hassle-free. ## Industries - 🖥 Computers Electronics and Technology - 🖥 File Sharing and Hosting _(under Computers Electronics and Technology)_ ## Links - [github](https://github.com/tubearchivist) ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idt5vuy3KJ/w/500/h/500/theme/light/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1725241762128) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Lochinvar | #259485 | accent | | Daintree | #00202f | dark | | Sinbad | #97d4c8 | light | ## Fonts - var(--font-sen-bold) — asset _(custom)_ - var(--font-sen) — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
