However, I don’t know why on rare occasions the plugin gets stuck and I need to manually trigger updates. But overall speaking, it saves a ton of time in manually importing the video. Also, they don’t seem to handle super long videos too well. I use them to archive 15-20 hours long video game movies and they often stop in the middle of processing, though it could be because my NAS is not powerful.
Three options you could explore: Tube Archivist (with plugin), Pinchflat and Toothpick.
(No personal experience in using Toothpick)
Create a separate library for YouTube contents, then TA or PF will create different ‘shows’ inside it. The TA plugin or PF built-in option to generate NFO files will prepare all metadata necessary for Jellyfin import. To separate the channels, you simply set them up separately in TA or PF then they will show as different ‘shows’. All these GUI applications are built on top of yt-dlp by the way.
