I plan to build a small, local version of YT for my kid and will have
to import several channels and single videos. What is the best
approach for such a selected mass imports into mediacms? Is it
possible to e.g. import the content of a channel or the fav. list of
someone, without losing too many infos?

Background: I understand he likes videos, and while currently all
videos are "defect" (AdguardHome for the win), sooner or later he
wants to watch them again, and I want to keep those stupid dogs outs.
Paw patrol has caused some "interesting" negative effects on him after
watching, just like others also have reported. This
marketing/merchandising garbage has to be kept away as long as
possible.

Paw Patrol is awesome.

I had this same issue with my kids. So I started using TubeArchivist.
It allows me to subscribe to their favorite channels and it runs an
automatic scrape of the channels every few hours. IT adds the videos
to the download queue but I have it set for manual download only.
Otherwise it would download them automatically. This allows me to be
selective in what they watch. I then feed the videos into Emby.

FYI. I usually only check the download queue once a week or if they
really nag me about new videos.

I have yt-dlp scripts into a plex library. Different scripts for
different channels, organized by folders.
