Sonarr is based on RSS feeds - explicitly designed for this purpose of getting new updates from subscription-like sources. This is much lighter in processing requirements. I’ve also tried to make this UI as similar as possible to the other *arr apps for familiarity.
Index an entire channel/playlist or get “older” videos. Subarr’s RSS approach is specifically for “subscriptions”: new video is posted, take some action Media management. Once Subarr kicks off the post-processor (like yt-dlp), its job is done. Use Plex/Jellyfin/etc or another one of the linked solutions above if you require more control over your media

Whats you personal experience of pinchflat vs tubearchivist?
Pinchflat is way less complicated than TubeArchivist and integrated with Plex without any extra work.
TA just didn’t fit my use case when I tested it, tbh: I mainly wanted to expose a dozen or so YouTube channels as podcasts to antennapod while saving the audio and stripping integrations with sponsorblock.

Not exactly ideal archival software…
It doesn’t store files in a human readable way and requires a separate DB and application to interpret your stored data. Without controls over how it stores that data.
this naming trend needs to die
Why? It’s a brand at this point and lets you know exactly what its about.
What is a brand? “Sonarr”? Never heard that.
*arr services are well known in the self hosted community
IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.
(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)
Sorry, I tried but I couldn’t figure out how to use Flowcharr-t.
