Jellyfin is on the list of media servers to support eventually, and additional media server types was structured into the codebase already. I was waiting for Jellyfin to have a couple more native clients before I switched from Plex myself, in the interim I've not spun up a Jellyfin server to test with yet. However, yes, this is on the roadmap. Thanks for the issue.

If it helps to someone meanwhile, this is what I have done to allow Jellyfin to show the Tubesync content.

I mapped the download directory of Tubesync to one created specially for Jellyfin YouTube videos, as a share (NAS). So, all the downloaded videos from Tubesync will be saved directly into that directory, which will allow Jellyfin to scan them, as usual (like movies, series...).

from what SmartPhoneLover said, it sounds like all that is needed is to copy the files over to JellyFin.

I plan on personally moving to Jellyfin at some point which is when I'd add an interface to add it as a media server. Happy to accept PRs to add it before that though.
