What workflows do y'all have for sourcing > archiving media? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm curious how you have automated/optimized your workflows for downloading, saving, archiving media.

For instance:

On my laptop I download an epub into a folder that Calibre watches.
Calibre copies and imports that epub into the Calibre library and removes the old epub.
Calibre Library is hooked up to SyncThing, which passes the epub to my eReader.

My workflow is probably not the most efficient, but I'm hoping I can be inspired by people's approaches.

I have a bookmarklet that I use on youtube to send the url to a flask app I wrote that runs it through yt-dlp and saves it to my plex server.

The Saturday Night Live channel has over 6000 videos. I downloaded its metadata and loaded it into a database and wrote another simple web app to browse it quickly and choose the videos I want to download. I have a plex library for SNL alone with about 700 sketches. I should generalize this for other channels but it was mostly a one time thing with throwaway code.

Lately I've been trying to automate ersatztv channel setup but it doesn't have an API so I'm writing to its sqlite database and hoping that will work.
