Thats super interesting, i’d love the logs :grin:

To be fair, i havent gotten to testing BT with the app yet so i will try to replicate on my own aswell.

If not already implemented, is it possible to have “Auto-dubbed” and or “Audio Track” in a setting to change the language?

i’ll drop them tomorrow.

Wonderful app, I’ll be using it going forwards! Kinda wish I had the ease of logging in and all my subscriptions were there, but this is an amazing and user friendly start! :slight_smile:

Still a joy to use :smiley:
A few more use cases I found, if I may suggest once more: when a video is open, in the pulldown menu:

Edit:

  • pagination of history results and of in general to limit wait times

I think i have a decent checklist of things to work on and my thoughts, let me know if there is anything else missing :slightly_smiling_face:

  • Open video in youtube.com (Share button)
  • Share video URL button (same button as above)
  • pagination of history results and of in general to limit wait times (it seems to load the entire history in one chunk, bad.. maybe use long lived cache too.)
  • Subtitles and auto translate
  • Selectable audio track and auto dubbed tracks
  • Login support and import subscriptions from youtube (same as FinTunes cookie import, import playlists too?)
  • BUG with BT crashing the app when BT is disconnected (needs testing)
  • Regarding login, support for “Premium qualities”? (I dont have a premium account so un-testable from my end, but sounds like another itag that is available when correct cookies are supplied?)
  • Settings toggle for enabling portrait fullscreen mode.
  • Rename import subscriptions to “Import from newpipe” or “import profile” something like that
  • Filter shorts in subscriptions feed (probably slow due to having to query every video)
  • unify cache, set better TTL (Avatars and such dont change often so there is free optimizations there)
  • remember speed set during playback function (set in the video player or in settings? not sure.)
  • some sort of tutorial on how to use the app? (or maybe the app is obvious enough as is?)
  • internal stream error is an issue that the “recoverer” should handle automatically (but it doesnt always work, swiping out of the video and back usually works better. look at why?)
  • De-clutter the resolution picker in the video view, takes a bit to scroll all the way up to the download options (Button perhaps)
  • Livestreams work but it isnt clear if its a normal video or a livestream (maybe a “LIVE” tag works)

Thank you for your incredible efforts :smiley: :heart:

I see the two reason besides Fintube itself.
The first MPRIS that is misbehaving sometimes and several apps does not stop but switching to phone speaker after bt disconnection.
The second there is an issue with bt playback that it hangs bt connection for all apps when audio stream is stopped without stopping playback(usually in network streams playback). Then I have to reconnect bt device to fix the issue. It happened for me today but only one time. So far so good.

Today I have found another improvements:

  • filter to hide watched videos
  • add to pulley menu “Mark as watched”
  • if I go back from playback page during playback to the subscription list, the playback is stopped and minimized, it would be good if that playback will continue playback in background(audio only mode)

useful information and indeed ive experienced that when BT disconnects on FinTune it continues playback after disconnection (undesirable i’d like it to pause, so that is another fix)

The mark as watched, do you mean inside the player or perhaps in a channel/subscriptions or search the menu that appears when you hold your finger on that entry?

Those other two make sense :slightly_smiling_face:

From the apps I use only Unplayer never did it to me.

In a Subscription page where video has red bar after watching in the menu that appears after long press. Now there are “Add to playlist” and “Download Audio” “Video”.

Well. It looks like I reported something that wasn’t fintube issue. I saw similar behavior ( crashing application ) with submusic. After rebooting my phone, it fixed itself. I remember having small bt issues, but they never crashed any apps. Guess my issue is related to the port that I am using :confused:

Ah i see, explains why i couldnt reproduce it on the J2.
Had a session where i sat and spam turning off and on the headset and it followed back and forth as expected with no crashes. :slightly_smiling_face:

Additional report:
Child-comments seem to be ignored

Potential new feature:
Option to not autostart video when opening it (in case one is only interested in checking the comments or the description)

Latest release of FinTube is here :slightly_smiling_face:

Took some elbow grease and bunch of iterating (like 92 installs for each feature), but this list of changes is what has been pushed.

@nicov84 yes your view comments and description option exists too, aswell as replies to comments. :wink:

(Just press and hold on a video you would like to see the details of in the subscriptions feed and the video wont play.)

Something to note with this release i am aware comments are slow to load.
YouTube only serves comments a page at a time, so the more comments a video has, the more pages have to be fetched and the extractor spins up per request.
So there’s an unavoidable few-seconds wait.

However most other places should feel a little snappier now.

Thanks!
A new version of FinTune will come soon too :slightly_smiling_face:

Hej, it’s me again :rofl:

A surprising thing about the jp2026 I’m sure you all noticed: it uses both the ear speaker and the bottom speaker as left and right respectively… And it seems to ignore the orientation of the phone.

This leads to some Interesting situations:

  • If you hold it in potrait, left audio fires from the top, right audio from the bottom.
  • If you rotate 90 counterclockwise it does proper stereo
  • If you rotate 90 clockwise… Left and right are flipped.

Test video (link shared with the new feature :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TWJaFD6R2s

Now, this is not a feature request but… Do you think this can somehow be accounted for by reading the orientation from the system? Asking for a friend…

No but jokes aside, I guess it’s an interesting hw feature :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Uhhh hmm, can’t say ive noticed it before but now when you mention it… how strange :laughing:

Unless i find some documentation on this it will probably be hard to implement haha
