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.

  • Invidious

    Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube

    There is also https://invidious.io/, but it's unstable and pain to run.

  • viewtube

    ▶️ ViewTube: The open source, privacy-conscious way to enjoy your favorite YouTube content.

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

  • Appwrite

    Appwrite - The Open Source Firebase alternative introduces iOS support . Appwrite is an open source backend server that helps you build native iOS applications much faster with realtime APIs for authentication, databases, files storage, cloud functions and much more!

  • SmartTubeNext

    Ad free app for watching tube videos on Android TV boxes

    It’s not quite what you’re looking for but in case others find this, I’d recommend checking out Smart Tube Next for Android TV. It’s an open source alternate YouTube client that blocks ads, including in-video sponsor reads if you want, and has a lot of other nice features as well. https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext

  • RootMyTV

  • youtube-local

    browser-based client for watching Youtube anonymously and with greater page performance

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

  • tubearchivist

    Your self hosted YouTube media server

  • FreeTube

    An Open Source YouTube app for privacy

    There's also FreeTubeApp

  • SurveyJS

    Extensible JavaScript Form Builder Libraries. SurveyJS is a set of four fully customizable JS libraries that allow you to create, easily modify, and run multiple web forms in any web app, while retaining all sensitive data on your own servers.
