📺 Fix YouTube Plugin (Error 153)

To resolve Error 153, you'll need to set up a Docker container for the YouTube (Download/Stream) TV Service. This lightweight service acts as a bridge between Jellyfin and YouTube content.

Setup Steps

  1. Deploy the container — Start the yt-dlp-tv Docker container using your preferred method (Docker Compose, Portainer, or command line)

  2. Configure Jellyfin — Enter the container's server address in the YouTube plugin settings when prompted

  3. Done! — Your YouTube integration should now work properly

What to Expect

Trailers will take slightly longer to load since they're now downloaded and streamed through the container rather than accessed directly. However, this workaround successfully restores trailer functionality.


Note: Keep the container running at all times for uninterrupted trailer playback.
