Fintube and Fintune

[masen]

Worked perfectly from PipePipe 5.2.5. Amazing.

Va bra

FinTube it would be Audio Only playback in background mode to save bandwidth

It does that already

Default Speed settings or remember speed set during playback function

This one seems like a good addition

@masen

It does that already

So, no more complaints here :). Great work.

Looks very promising, thank you for your effort!
I didn’t try the app yet but I have a question.

Is it not possible to offer within the app to download and later update all the extras that are necessary? As an example like microG, AAS etc when you setup j2. Searching, installing and updating separate things sounds a bit more complicated, but that’s just my personal opinion going through this thread.

Thanks again and I’m looking forward to trying your apps over the weekend!

[masen]

That is basically what the app does

Upon installation of the app it fetches yt-dlp and ffmpeg for you automatically.
You are then able to update the 3rd party apps whenever you please in the apps settings menu (Note: not automatically in the background)

Only manual install is the PO provider since it needs a javascript runtime to mint tokens locally

Basically, you get access to more videos and resolutions because the token lets you past youtubes bot blocking system.

I have just found that you should consider to add:
Requires: git
to the app spec file. It is in standard Jolla repository so there is no problem with that. That helps an average user to cope with deno and PO.

[masen]

Thanks, i’ve missed that.

@masen

Added so the app searches in PATH for an existing binary so @ohnonot you can delete the binaries in ~/.local/share/harbour-fintube/bin/ and it should pick the ones you want.

Thanks, I’m a happy Camper now!
I have not received a reply re publishing this on chum:testing yet, but I would re-compile and re-submit the current commit of both repos? I think this app is very much usable and should be in Chum or any of the stores.

@Sharks

May I make a request that support for video subtitles be added one day? I am not sure the logistics involved in ripping these out of Youtube

yt-dlp can do it, so it’s in the realm of possibilites here as well.
I just don’t know if the media player involved can show them.

Yes you can upload and submit the codebase however you want on chum

[ohnonot]

Well the thing is that it requires manual approval, so I want to make sure this is the version you want to make public and not bother them needlessly, esp. since you’re working a lot and fast.

And only you can decide if the current version is at a sort of stop point now.

[masen]

Ah didnt know it was manual approval there, i mistakenly assumed the question was aimed at my approval.

Erm.. hard to say, i would say a good stopping point is here.. but there will be more and more reason to further develop as people request this and that

[ohnonot]

@masen

i would say a good stopping point is here..

Cool I just wanted you to say it, and be aware of the situation.

I will push out a new version and tell them that this time it’s for real.

Good point. I haven’t been following closely but now that you mention it, @mister_magister was talking about trying to fix subtitles in the porters chat a few days ago. Maybe they don’t work natively currently.

[Mister_Magister]

subtitles work natively just fine in microtube and picoplayer

It’s a skill issue, one that i’m trying to make simpler but thats unrelated

[Mister_Magister]

Also maybe I’m late to the party but…

…why not make a PR? If there’s something you don’t like?

[masen]

Mainly because i didnt want to bother you with my slop haha
Vibecoding has a certain stigma to it, so id rather just reimplement stuff my way instead and let people decide on their own if they want to use my interpretation of things.

Easier to iterate on my own repo aswell

[Mister_Magister]

@masen

Vibecoding has a certain stigma to it

oh, I see the issue now.

Well microtube/picoplayer can play SRT subtitles (and ONLY those for now). Maybe instead of implementing new player just use picoplayer/microtube player directly like I’ve done it in yottagram?

[masen]

What makes you think you have a say in what i do with my time and resources?

Your app didnt work and i did something about it for myself and decided to share it with the community, thats it.

[Mister_Magister]

Oh but it works just fine, and i’m just trying to help you/save you some time geez, calm those nerves of yours

[ScaleneVirus288]

Huh. I found a strange one. When I am connected to my bt headphones with video playing, then turn off my headphones, video freezes and whole app crashes after few seconds. Looks like your app is trying to “hang on” for dear life onto that bt signal . Super strange bug. If you want, I can post app logs later

[masen]

I think you misunderstood, I wasn’t upset, but your message comes off as snide.
