I use a telgram bot (controlled by node-red) that sends the URLs to a script [1] that uses a FIFO to download them one by one via yt-dlp. If the sender ID is from my mum, only the audio track is saved and made available to her via jellyfin. It has been working almost too well for 2 years. She has downloaded almost 1TB of audiobooks (all from youtube).

I've been meaning to do something similar but slap HTTP in front of it and use a bookmarklet. It seems like this script is both the daemon and the submitter though? That's nice.
elegant. how is the written?
