Playlifin for Linux

Playlifin is a Linux app designed to help you sync YouTube Music playlists with your Jellyfin music library.

It works by matching the songs from your downloaded YouTube playlists to the tracks already saved in Jellyfin, letting you keep your playlists organized within Jellyfin.

To use Playlifin, you need to first download your YouTube playlist songs and add them to Jellyfin manually.

The app does not download music for you or sync directly from YouTube.

Instead, it reads the titles of the songs in your YouTube playlist and tries to find the same songs in your Jellyfin library.

When it finds matches, it creates a new Jellyfin playlist based on your YouTube playlist.

Playlifin uses yt-dlp to gather information from YouTube and accesses the Jellyfin API to manage your music collection.

It supports organizing your imported music by albums, genres, or artists, helping you maintain your playlist structure after moving your music to Jellyfin.

One important thing to note is that Playlifin depends on matching song titles, which may not always find the exact matches if titles differ.

Also, the process requires you to prepare your music by downloading and adding it to Jellyfin before running the app.

There is no feature for automatic downloading or direct syncing from YouTube.

Overall, Playlifin is useful for Linux users who want to manage their YouTube Music playlists safely and efficiently within Jellyfin, especially if they prefer organizing music by albums, genres, or artists.

It’s a practical tool for those comfortable with manual steps and looking for a simple way to convert YouTube playlists to Jellyfin playlists.
