nuclear VS SkyTube

Win/Mac/Linux : Nuclear : https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear Radio mode automatically plays similar songs. If the connection is slow, You can change Invidious : https://docs.invidious.io/instances/

nuclear (Win/Mac/Linux) : is audio only, but plays similar songs at random. It's a radio mode. It can also change its randomness. The exact same artist is not consecutive. But it will come back to the same artist. There seems to be a few bugs in terms of usability.

Why not use nuclear

If u want free and open source alternative to spotify u can use - https://nuclear.js.org

Nuclear is a music player that will use various sources around the internet such as YouTube and Bandcamp to search for and stream music completely ad free. The client itself keeps track of your artists, playlists, and likes. It doesn't require an account or any personal information to use and at times feels too good to be true. On the downside it's sometimes slow to play music of fails to play songs on occasion. You can easily grab it from Flathub but they also have other downloads available on the website. If you use snap packages I'd advise you to download the snap from their github instead. The one on snapcraft hasn't been updated for a while.

Nuclear is an app that will stream music from multiple sources including soundcloud, bandcamp, and youtube to give you the same features as a streaming service without ads or tracking. Yes, this is also completely open-source.

I am the dev of music-kraken https://pypi.org/project/music-kraken/. Its a music downloader downloading music from various sources. It is not quite there yet but it works pretty reliably yet. Once it got so far, that I got a stable enough programming interface, I suggest a collaboration, so you can embed my downloader as the core into monoboxes backend to make something like nuclear https://nuclear.js.org/ which wouldn't be buggy as hell though. A REAL replacement for Spotify.

SkyTube Extra

I haven't tried SkyTube but looking at their GitHub it seems the video player it relies on is the cause of the issue and is also needing minimum 5.0: https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/issues/1062

Legacy requires Android 4.0 minimum, it was branched out to Legacy due to crashes and development burden getting the main one to work properly. You can find it here.

Interesting. I can recommend Skytube extra for casting without ads. Smarttubenext seems to be another good option if you have the newest chromecast with google tv or an android tv box (which I don't)
