youtube-local VS viewtube

My project here is similar: https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local

It keeps everything in the browser while still being local to the machine

I am planning to host youtube-local (https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local) on my old laptop that's running Ubuntu Server. I don't plan on accessing the instance outside the local network.

YouTube alternative frontends (web-based): - Invidious - Alternative and privacy respecting YouTube frontend. - Piped - An alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend which is efficient by design. - LibreTube - An alternative frontend for YouTube, for Android using Piped. - ViewTube - ViewTube is an alternative privacy-friendly YouTube frontend written in Vue.js - Youtube-Local - browser-based client for watching Youtube anonymously and with greater page performance.

FROM python:3.9 RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git WORKDIR /app RUN git clone https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local WORKDIR /app/youtube-local RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt EXPOSE 8080 CMD [ "python", "server.py" ]

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

Been using youtube-local https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local for months if not years now, does the job pretty well.

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

YouTube Local

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.

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

As for my iPhone I now use viewtube.io (you can also self host it if you want) and I am very happy of the result.

Self-host Viewtube and silently redirect all Youtube traffic to it. 😁

After using invidious, then piped, I settled on ViewTube. https://github.com/ViewTube/viewtube-vue better UI than invidious, not as obnoxious as piped.

I run ViewTube having gone through 3 other front ends, and although not perfect, it's the best I've found for my needs. But like you say, the problem I have is I really do not give a flying funk about youtube, and wish there was a way to transparently proxy all youtube requests to viewtube. Short of as you say doing a local DNS entry for youtube and knocking up some kind of certificate, I'm stumped. I have to rely on per-client solutions like UntrackMe or PrivacyRedirect.

Slight aside: try out ViewTube as well. I was running Piped for a few months until yesterday when I found this. I found Piped needlessly complicated, but better than raw invidious. Viewtube for me is the best of both. Still not perfect, but I'm trying to set up a dev environment to contribute if I can atm.

Hi can viewtube be put into the Video Streaming section. https://viewtube.io, https://dev.viewtube.io
