alexta69/metube — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a self hosted web app for downloading videos from YouTube and other supported sites. I want to paste in a link from my browser, choose video or audio, optionally grab captions and thumbnails, then see the download go into a queue with progress and a completed list when it is done.

It should also handle playlists and channels, save files into folders I can choose, and let me control basic options like naming, download location, and how many downloads can run at once. I’d like a simple subscriptions area where I can add a channel or playlist and have the app check for new uploads on a schedule and queue them automatically.

Make it easy to run at home with Docker, store downloads on a mounted folder, and keep its queue and subscription state between restarts. Keep the interface clean and practical, like a small home server tool, not a fancy media site.
