NewPipe app for Sailfish OS

[flypig]

@poetaster

I’ve just had a boo and it’s looking good

Thanks for trying it

@poetaster

Sadly, I’m currently not able to play most videos EDIT (rephone/volla phone issue).

Is that related to this? Or a different issue?

@poetaster

I had been following the dev log and I wondered about mpris qml being an issue? I had used it a couple of times, most recently in my bandcamp app, happy camper (based on the mpris qml in Music Explorer). I could take a crack at that part. But I’m afraid of the rest

This is super-generous of you. I admit to being nervous about switching to QML MPRIS. I’ve used it a few times and never been really happy with the results. I’m definitely not discounting that it’s me that’s the problem though!

@poetaster

Having mentioned bandcamp, why not support audio tracks? I have an app for that But it doesn’t seem to be that far a jump?

When you say supporting audio tracks, is there something specific you mean? I think currently the app only supports audio tracks from Bandcamp, but maybe I’m misunderstanding?

@poetaster

Thanks for the great devlog and app!

Thank you! I really appreciate knowing that you’ve been taking a look.

@fingus

Is it possible for future releases that SailPipe choose the native vertical resolution from the device for the video-/download-steam?

I definitely thought about making the resolution configurable, which could include an option to set it to the device resolution. There’s an issue where I’m tracking this.

@fingus

And the progressbar-overlay doesn’t seem to work, it just shows a purple bar:

Ah, that’s interesting! Is that on a C2? That suggests an issue with the shader.

Would you be in a position to collect logs when you run the application (e.g. by running it form the command line)?

@fingus

But very good work so far, its very snappy and well designed!

Thanks! Hopefully I can get the two issues you’ve flagged sorted out in the not-too-distant future.

@Oldergod

I have a related question. Will it be possible in the future to choose whether I want to download video or audio only?
Thank you very much for the current implementation!

You can use the filters to restrict your search to music or audio. But do you more mean about the sort of file that’s downloaded? E.g. being able to download in mp3 file (rather than an mp4 file)?

[flypig]

@mive

Again great app, but for the german translation the text in about page needs rework, sounds like it was auto translated

Thanks for flagging this up. The translators were working without being able to see the app itself (because it hadn’t yet been released) which could explain this.

We’re using Weblate for translations and if you or anyone else would like to improve the translations, that would be very welcome!

I’m afraid with my language skills, if I try to improve the translations it will most certainly make them worse!

Yes on Jolla C2.

On Sony XZ2 Compact Community-Port the Progress-Bar is displayed correctly, very nice animation!

@flypig

I think I can help out with the German translations. Would you send me all texts in English and German?

[Oldergod]

Exactly, I mean the option to choose whether I want to download a video (mp4) or audio (e.g. m4a with NewPipe).

[mive]

First of all, for the key “sailpipe_search_page-search_enter_some_textEnter some text to search” already exists a proper suggestion which is marked as failed (because of not matching text, but its a much better version and every german would understand the meaning)

then regarding key “sailpipe_about-summaryA user interface to the NewPipe Extractor for streaming and downloading video and music” (I can also send suggestion on the weblate but first want to ensure its ok sounding):

English
A user interface to the NewPipe Extractor for streaming and downloading video and music from multiple online services, including YouTube, SoundCloud, Media.ccc.de and Bandcamp.

Deutsch
Eine Benutzeroberfläche für den NewPipe Extractor zum streamen und herunterladen von Video und Musik bei den Online Diensten YouTube, SoundCloud, Media.ccc.de und Bandcamp.

(maybe “Anbietern” instead of “Diensten”?)

Also do you plan to implement more services in the future? (if so I’ll change this “bei den Online Diensten”, because if there are only this 4 I dont think the including is needed, as they are all listed)

[nthn]

At least your programming language skills are on point!

[poetaster]

@flypig

Is that related to this? Or a different issue?

Yup I’m a gonna try that now

@flypig

I’m definitely not discounting that it’s me that’s the problem though!

Nah, it is a bit finicky I’ve been through the washer once so I thought I could try, at least. I’ll have to see if I can find the time, first. The xmas season is coming and I’m feeling the pressure

@flypig

I think currently the app only supports audio tracks from Bandcamp

Ah, when search on bandcamp and looking at an album I never see any tracks?

[mive]

doch groß? war mir nicht sicher? Der Duden meinte auch Verb daher hätte ich gesagt eher klein? (zuerst dachte ich aber auch groß)

[kan_ibal]

Translations, suggestions and discussions for Sailpipe are done here:

[Pohli]

Es sind substantivierte Verben in diesem Fall, deshalb groß. Kann man auch am „zum“ erkennen, was eine Kurzform von „zu dem“ ist. Artikel vorm Verb, also großschreiben.

[arcturus]

Big thanks for porting newpipe! Tried it on both my oneplus6 and my c2. No issues and it feels snappy on both devices. I was using the android app, but native is always better. Again, fantastic work!

[Cryx]

Is there a way to choose the resolution of downloads like it is in new pipe on android? Tried the app today, but the download (which is available in Full HD) was done with the smallest resolution…

[grot_is_sailor]

Is it possible to compile it for 32 bit? XA2+ user here, and I have no idea what it runs anymore, because kernel is aarch64, but user space is 32 bit?

@Cryx

Currently not I’m afraid. There’s an issue about it and it’s definitely a feature I’m hoping to add.

@grot_is_sailor

As things stand, the short answer is that sadly an armv7hl (32-bit) build isn’t possible. There’s an issue about this too and I’d always planned to build a 32-bit version, until @roundedrectangle highilighted that there’s no 32-bit build of GraalVM. The app relies on this for the NewPipe Extractor library. If that changes, then I’ll certainly want to come back to this.

I’m really sorry about this.

[grot_is_sailor]

Thanks for effort man, I guess no Sailpipe for XA2+ for now…
