That was an OK video but it doesn't dig very deep - quite a lot of hot air. And some anecdotal stuff like "long anodes sound better". It's also limited to the valves (Golden Lion) and amp types he has a vested interest in. So not really of much general use.
So to add some more solid information to that video, the place to start with tube rolling is Franks Tube pages, link below.
electron Tube Data sheets - Type index
frank.pocnet.net
This invaluable site contains the manufacturers' tube data sheets for pretty much all commercially made valves. If you are serious about tube rolling, you start here.
1. Heater voltage and current. Do your proposed substitute tubes have the same voltage and current? Current is important - if you put in tubes that exceed the manufacturer's spec you can overheat the heater winding and potentially case failure.
2. Do the substitute tubes have the same pinout? The data sheets show the pinout. You need to check that it's the same as the original. For instance EL34 and 6L6 aren't always compatible - it depends what's connected to pin 1. Again, mistakes can cause equipment failure.
3. Operating point. Here you need some tube knowledge to interpret the "curves" i.e. current/voltage graphs that show how the tube behaves in a circuit. If the curves are different to any degree you might stress the circuit and again cause damage.
Two other useful sites are these - they give the history and compatibility of all common tubes.
Tube EL 6 or Röhre EL6 ID1831, Vacuum Pentode, Europe side contact P8A (Au P, 8SC) and Power/Output shown. Radio tubes are valves.

Changing tube types isn't something you do lightly - if you don't know how to check the above basic information, then stick to the same tubes that the circuit was designed for. Remember that tube circuits use high voltages. Tube rolling can be a lot of fun and also a potentially wallet draining pastime for the enthusiastic roller. It's harmless if you stick to the rules. if you don't then caveat emptor.
