Something like that is probably technically possible, but you’d need to do a bunch of work.
Plex Plugins can’t provide media sources anymore, so you need to do the trick plex_debrid is doing where you add stub sources to the plex server library and serve the files from a virtual filesystem.
You might be able to re-use the plex_debrid code but use youtube-dl instead of rclone
This uses ffmpeg under the hood and muxes the file into a .m4a file without transcoding. Basically keeping whatever compression youtube used for the audio (which is some sort of mpeg4 compatible audio, probably depends a little bit)
This still recompressed, but it’s the best you can do using youtube as the source.
uploader (almost certainly, but theoretically you could skip this step if you encoded your video well) compresses audio
uploader uploads to youtube
youtube re-compresses the audio again (almost certainly transcoding into a different codec)
Plex integration of FMHY sources?
Is there any way to integrate these sources cleanly into a Plex setup? fmhy.net/videopiracyguide...
Is it possible to rip audio from youtube without loss of quality or online conversions?
I read somewhere that it is possible to rip youtube videos (music only) without the need for converting it into an mp3 as such....
