ytdlp2STRM

Youtube / Twitch / Crunchyroll etc. to STRM files
Watch Youtube through Jellyfin or Emby
Watch Twitch through Jellyfin or Emby
Watch Crunchyroll through Jellyfin or Emby

Prerequisite

Python 3 https://www.python.org/downloads/

Installation and usage

To allocate ytdlp2STRM, I suggest using /opt/ in Linux or C:\ProgramData in Windows.

Linux

The next steps have been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. In terminal:

cd /opt && git clone https://github.com/fe80Grau/ytdlp2STRM.git

Install requierments.txt

cd /opt/ytdlp2STRM && pip install -r requierments.txt

Copy service file to system services folder

sudo cp config/ytdlp2strm.service /etc/systemd/system/ytdlp2strm.service

Enable service

sudo systemctl enable ytdlp2strm.service

Start service

sudo systemctl start ytdlp2strm.service

Check it

sudo systemctl status ytdlp2strm.service

Check GUI in browser

http://localhost:5000/

Windows

The next steps have been tested on Windows 11 Pro 22H2. Using Powershell or Windows Terminal with Administrator privileges:

cd C:\ProgramData; git clone https://github.com/fe80Grau/ytdlp2STRM.git;

Install requierments.txt

cd C:\ProgramData\ytdlp2STRM; pip install -r requierments.txt

Create a task that is scheduled to run main.py at startup. If you plan to install ytdlp2STRM in a different folder than C:\ProgramData\ytdlp2STRM, edit ./config/MS-TASK-ytdlp2STRM.xml

schtasks.exe /create /tn "ytdlp2STRM" /xml C:\ProgramData\ytdlp2STRM\config\MS-TASK-ytdlp2STRM.xml

Run task

schtasks.exe /run /tn "ytdlp2STRM"

In case everything is working, these commands will return "Running"

(Get-ScheduledTask | Where TaskName -eq ytdlp2STRM ).State

Check the GUI in the browser.

http://localhost:5000/

Docker

To deploy this as a Docker container, follow these steps in the ytdlp2STRM root folder.

Build Docker image

docker build . -t "ytdlp2strm"

Create a volume to preserve data.

docker create --name ytdlp2strm-data ytdlp2strm

Run the container with volume and mount D:\media (host folder for accessing strm files, change it as you prefer) in /media (container folder).

docker run -p 5005:5000 --restart=always -d -v D:\media:/media --volumes-from ytdlp2strm-data --name ytdlp2STRM ytdlp2strm

Check the GUI in the browser

http://localhost:5005/

Additional info

After that you can view all channels folders within /media/Youtube and their strm files. If you are using Jellyfin/Emby, add /media/Youtube, /media/Twitch and /media/Crunchyroll as folders in Library and enjoy it!

Youtube

SponsorBlock doesn't work in redirect mode.
Local NFO for each video

Twitch

If a live video is on air the !000-live-channel.strm will be created. The script will download the strm for each video in the /videos channel tab in any manner. Take a look at the limits and daterange values for videos in ./plugins/twitch/config.json.
SponsorBlock doesn't work in redirect mode, Twitch only works in direct mode at the moment.

Crunchyroll

Requieres a cookie file from Premium user login (you can extract the cookie file from Crunchyroll with browser extension like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt-locally/cclelndahbckbenkjhflpdbgdldlbecc) or load a fresh cookie from browser (check discusion in yt-dlp/yt-dlp#7442 (comment)).
I'm using a filter language your crunchyroll_audio_language config value and extractor crunchyrollbeta:hardsub=your crunchyroll_subtitle_language config value to get a version with one language and subs embedded
To avoid constant rewriting of the strm files, a file called last_episode.txt is generated in the series directory, it contains the playlist position of the last strm downloaded, this will only generate strm for new episodes.
Patch yt-dlp if Crunchyroll not works yt-dlp/yt-dlp#7442 (comment)

Pokemon TV

Thank you https://github.com/seiya-dev
This doesn't need a channel_list.json file

SX3 - Anime en Català (Catalan Anime)

Last mp4 url only works if it's requested from Spain IP. This plugin have http_get_proxy and http_get_proxy_url to set an http get proxy , for example http://proxy/?address=

main.py

A little script to serve yt-dlp video/audio as HTTP data throught Flask and dynamic URLs. We can use this dynamic URLs with youtube id video in url like http://127.0.0.1:5000/youtube/direct/FxCqhXVc9iY and open it with VLC or save it in .strm file (works in Jellyfin)

cli.py

Controller that loads plugins functions, used in crons to manage strm files
Build strms manually:

cd /opt/ytdlp2STRM/ && python3 cli.py --media youtube --params direct

You can change --media value for another plugin

config/config.json

ytdlp2strm_host
ytdlp2strm_port
ytdlp2strm_keep_old_strm

config/crons.json

Working with Schedule library (https://schedule.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples.html)
Do attribute needs a list with commands ["--media", "youtube", "--params", "direct"], replace youtube with your plugin name and direct with your prefered mode.
direct : A simple redirect to final stream URL. (faster, no disk usage, sponsorblock not works)
bridge : Remuxing on fly. (fast, no disk usage)
download : First download full video then it's served. (slow, temp disk usage)

plugins/media/channel_list.json

[YOUTUBE] With "keyword-" prefix you can search for a keyword and this script will create the folders of channels founds dinamically and put inside them the strm files for each video. See an exaple in channel_list.example.json
[YOUTUBE] Playlist needs "list-" prefix before playlist id, you can see an exaple in channel_list.example.json
[YOUTUBE] If you want to get livestream from /streams youtube channel tab you need to add a new channel in channel_list with /streams (Check an example in ./plugins/youtube/channel_list.example.json)
[TWITCH] This script makes a NFO file (tvshow.nfo) for each youtube or twitch channel (to get name, description and images). *Description only works in Linux systems at the moment
[CRUNCHYROLL] Only support URL series (not episodes), the script will create a folder for each serie, and subfolders for each season, inside season folder the strm episodes files will be created
