Hi everyone, I decided there simply were not enough docker apps for downloading Youtube videos, and so I made the situation worse :p
In all seriousness, I couldn't find one that fulfilled all my desires in a YT downloader, so I wrote my own in python using pytubefix and streamlit. It's still fairly rough, but it works, and i'd love to get your feedback. Installation is just a simple docker compose.
services:
pytube-gui:
container_name: pytube-gui
image: artisanbytecrafter/pytube-gui:develop
ports:
- 8501:8501
volumes:
- /path/to/downloads:/app/downloads # set to where you want downloads to go
Please let me know if you run into any issues, or have any feedback. I do still have a long list :)

Would be nice if you could elaborate what exactly you did different than all the others?
Edit: jeez, guys. It was just a question since they said "none of the others met their needs" so I was interested in that? Did that sound that rude? I am not a native English speaker, so I am not sure now. They are completely OK to ignore my question. But cool, will not ask that again and ignore such posts in the future.
You're ok, it's a fair question. The initial want arose from my son asking me to download YT videos for him to watch offline, and the various youtube-dl, yt-dlp, pytube, etc based solutions all being in various stages of broken, due to how youtube always changes things on their end. I chose an underlying library (pytubefix) that seems to be fast in updating when YT breaks things. Nothing in my app is revolutionary on never seen before, except maybe the ability to choose and combine the exact stream you want, i'm not sure. I took everything I liked in various solutions and put them together to work how i wanted. Then I though maybe someone else might like it too, so i shared it :) I work on it when i want to and just kinda go in the direction i want.
Thank you! Also thanks for not getting discouraged to answer by all this comment mess.
