Does anyone have a better solution for watching this stuff on my TV? I'm not thrilled with using Jellyfin for this purpose because of the limitations (some in the article, others not) but also because I have a lovely Jellyfin library of actual TV and movies that I don't want to gum up.

Ideally I want videos on my home server organised into arbitrary folders and a nice simple video player on my Android TV that I can browse the folder tree with. Just like the old days. I don't care about accessing this stuff outside of my home network.

As far as not polluting your Jellyfin library, you could just have a separate Jellyfin instance for the YT videos, no?

Additionally, why not just create a seperate library in Jellyfin for YT videos? That'd keep them fairly seperate
