I research far-right groups who are mostly banned from YT. I want some kind of tool that automatically downloads content from their groups (mostly on BitChute, Rumble, Oddysee) and then does a TTS transcribe if subtitles are unavailable.

I’ve tried Metube, which is really good at downloading from niche sources but lacks the concept of a subscription. In other words, I cannot just give it a bunch of channels I want and then let it do its thing.

Yt-archivist is excellent but is YouTube only. It doesn’t support the niche video sites I need.

If only there were a tool with archivist’s features but Metube’s breadth of support. I’ve not yet seen any tool that can automatically transcribe the content in a directory, but that would be perfect - some tool that I could feed a directory of content and then have it automatically transcribe anything that doesn’t have subtitles.

The reason I need transcription is so that I can search for certain comments. For example, I might want to find out when a particular group started campaigning on an issue or used a particular phrase.

Ideally, I’m looking for stuff that runs as a Docker-Compose configuration. I have a NAS with a few TB of storage. It would be great if I can just run this directly on the NAS and
