• Invidious

  422 14,973 9.5 Crystal

  Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

  

BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files

Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624

Could anybody explain it to me?

  A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader

  

Yep. yt-dlp and youtube-dl

Will also start to feel the impact. My theory is that we will see a bunch of new video hosting sites as youtube itself attempts to lock down its ecosystem. They haven't paid attention in any adversarial way as far as I can tell.

When they do, it wont be great.

• Django-link-archive

  12 11 9.6 Python

  Link archive for a NAS drive

I am running my of YouTube front-end.

Link: https://github.com/rumca-js/Django-link-archive

Demo: https://renegat0x0.ddns.net/apps/catalog

Allows me to add channels, download individual videos, bookmark videos, etc. Uses iframe to display the video.

I have no problems with viewing videos:

- I use ff with adblock

- videos are embedded using no-referrer-when-downgrade policy

I have literally no ads.

There are some drawbacks:

- YouTube may change their policies, change embedding strategies

- To have control over videos, you still have to manually download them
