It's a good privacy oriented front end. There's also freetube for a desktop app and new pipe for your phone if you're not already using those.


C'est bon


Vraiment. Aucune idée que ça existait avant aujourd’hui.


I also didn't know but that was all I could muster in limited francais


You can even self host it, from what I’m reading 👀


I’ll look in to those. Is new pipe on iOS ?


Negative


Very cool, whoa download videos is crazy.  Whats the incentive for people to host besides being awesome ?


True. I love mine.


Even if I’m running a vpn ?
So piped.video is better privacy. Do you know if you can have a resolution higher than 720p with it ?


Thanks for sharing


It’s great huh?


You are welcome, friend 🤙


Looks pretty cool. nostr:npub1u6cfjqed4pl3xpl9fx02k2jx6h8442267flsl8hh4q6jllj0scmszsre7h says that piped.video might be more private even


I’ve been looking for a way to get rid of my google account. I think I finally found it


Does it use much more bandwidth than just streaming for YouTube ?


freetube is a desktop app that allows you to do it while also having a local list of channels you follow, history and bookmarks


Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look for it


You can self-host it an run it locally:

Thanks for the tip!
And thanks to all the contributors, I discovered a brand new rabbit hole to dive into 😅😅


I have to look into this. Thanks!


Experimenting with piped.video
Thanks!


Happy to share !


Just tried. Very cool!


The instructions are outdated, but just follow their current guide, as I did when I recorded the video.
*check the description section of the video if you end up found this.


piped is better! Invidious is good but hits google servers directly


What does this mean for the user? Direct exposure to Google?


i'm using FreeTube on linux, great experience for me, should also work on windows and mac


Invidious frontends by default do not proxy the videos. It gets the source video URL directly from Google. Some instances will allow you to proxy but need to manually set it.

Piped always does this, but there are still other merits to using Invidious depending on the situation (for example Piped requires JS while Invidious does not, and Invidious also works far better on Tor Browser).


As in, no privacy or anonymity?


Appreciate the info. I mostly use the NewPipe app and only recently discovered Invidious. I'll just use Piped if I have reason to access on desktop.


Better yet, go use a freedom/self-hosted solution or pay for YouTube. Incentivize better models.


You can run your own on Umbrel.


New Pipe is Great, but Only works on mobile phones. You can use Invidious on a smart TV.


Thx for sharing Maestro! Can finally listen to my daily dose of classical music... I'd recommend listening to some Bruckner symphonies 🙏🏻💪🏻

And it works on #kodi, as well. This way you can use it as a part of you home media center and ditch the youtube app on your tv for good.


DASH doesn’t load for me for some reason


It should be extended to leverage on nostr for comments and subscriptions


And with Clipious there is an excellent Android app for your Invidous instance used on Graphene / Calyx. https://github.com/lamarios/clipious


Try https://piped.video
Someone else suggested it in the thread. Doesn’t seem to need DASH to change resolution to higher than 720p


I’ll check it out thanks. Seems like it works on tvOS ! Thanks!


Glad you like it!


I wouldn’t mind to keep paying for YouTube premium if they weren’t so intrusive and not privacy focused. It’s time to ditch the google account for me 🤷🏾


Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.

The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.

To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.

The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.

I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

Do you know if piped.video works on kodi as well ?


brave is an option also as just an alt browser


The issue is the resolution. I can’t get higher than 720p when casting to the tv with brave+youtube. With invidious and piped I can get higher resolutions


Does that eliminate the issue? Wouldn't Invidious still need to source the content from Google servers?

It streams badly for me though. And doesn't save playback position. I don't understand why no one has done a nice CLI YouTube client yet.


Try https://piped.video
I find it much smoother

There is also Yattee on iOS, tvOS, macOS which is a privacy oriented video player that works with the piped api or invidious api. Didn’t configure it yet. That one might be able to save playback position

(I rather it not save my playback position than giving all my info to google 🤷🏾)


I was able to make yattee work. It saves video playback. I’ll write a note


There you go: this should solve your saving video playback issue

Huh, great suggestion, thanks!


Sir, stop being so based, thanks 🗿


Don't know what to answer here... 😖

Yes. Maybe I misunderstood.


No idea, haven't tried it.


Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about this


You digged up a good one!
