Selfhosted web alternative to youtube vanced
https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local It's like Invidious,but you can route your requests through Tor(if you care) and has a classic design and also has SponsorBlock,works most of the time

Is there a self-hosted "Youtube proxy"? Looking for something similar to Plex for TV's that I can use to proxy, avoid ads and blacklist some channels.
Been using youtube-local https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local for months if not years now, does the job pretty well.

Any GOOD YouTube alternatives?
i can recommend youtube-local with VPN for performance and privacy. Also Odysee as many Youtubers already have a channel there.

A cross-platform GUI for YouTube-dl
Somewhat related self-plug: Self-hosted browser client for watching YouTube anonymously (Python):
https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
It supports downloading all the raw formats (the video only ones, audio only ones, and the 360p & 720p integrated formats). More meant for watching than downloading, but some more advanced downloading features, such as merging audio+video with ffmpeg to get more downloadable qualities and auto-downloading options for playlists are planned.

Got some cool ideas?
What about https://codemadness.org/idiotbox.html or https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local ?

I'm a Google Superuser.
There are alternatives to YouTube actually. On PC there's an alternative frontend Invidious, and as an application you can use youtube-dl, FreeTube, or youtube-local.

My degoogling/privacy progress so far...
Interesting, didn't hear about youtube-local before but just installed it, this is great! Thanks for sharing. I'll try it a bit longer but will probably use that from now on instead of just an autocmd with Tridactyl.

SOS on Total Biscuits youtube channel. Possibility that all of his videos are scrubbed to try and prevent AI voice training.
I use Open Video Downloader, and while it admittedly is kind of limited in a few ways, it works quite well.

no clients work for some reason
I was using a nice gui client for youtube dl just yesterday when it just refused to download a mp3 for some reason. I deleted that client and downloaded this one https://github.com/dsymbol/yt-dlp-gui and it didn't work neither. So then I downloaded this one https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui and it didn't work neither. The last one said "Error! Binaries missing/corrupted." So what can I do?
