    Thanks for the heads up about yt-dlp. Maybe if I start running into videos like that I can set up a way to execute the yt-dlp to download them in MP4 format on my jellyfin server using Tailscale or such to link the command. Then play from there.

    Seems like a lot to watch a video, but I’ll leave it on the back burner idea pile if ever needed. A lot of the text based stuff if it gives me to much issue I’ll drop the link into archive.ph

      Your welcome! Its good to have a local DRM free backup of your favorite channels especially the ones you come back to for sleep aid or comfort when stressed. I would download them sooner than later while yt-dlp still works (googles been ramping up its war on adblockers and 3rd party frontends). BTW yt-dlp also works with bandcamp and soundcloud to extract audio :)
