Yeah this would do the trick. I have a simple yt-dlp script setup that is set as a cron job. Everyday at 4:30 AM it checks a list of YouTube channels I have and downloads any new videos that channel has to a corresponding media directory that jellyfin has access to, keeping that channels content up to date.
This lets me easily set and forget my script, so now whenever I want to watch that channels video I can just open jellyfin, which stores all my media, not just YouTube, and view it from there.
It does eat up storage though on big channels, but if you got the space it’s not a big issue.
