SailTube (Invidious and PeerTube)

[Kuba77]

I just want to share source code of my app for Youtube which use Invidious API . It’s not finished and as microtube, sometimes work and sometimes not. I stopped development last year when Invidious instances closed their APIs. After sometime I found that is possible to use Invidious instance from FreeTube, but still sometime not work, today it works . It also supports PeerTube.

Features:

• Invidious
• Peertube (but needs to implement some list of instances)
• play audio only from Youtube (Invidious) from contextmenu
• Favorites list
• History of watched videos

If someone wants to contribute…
to-do:

• better player, as now is only supported pause/play by tap on screen in app
• audio only for PeerTube
• Trending tab (hidden from app right now) doesn’t load list of videos correctly
• open link from another app is not work atm
• implement settings of region for searching videos and trending videos for Invidious (current it is set for my country - CZ in main.js function search and in Trending.qml in Component.onCompleted)
• polishing UI, show length of videos etc.
• ?

There is also noarch rpm in the github repo

noarch

Wow pure qml? Kudos, still have my hopes up for flypig’s newpipe, but it will require a jvm if I understand correctly (or nodejs with microtube), thanks for sharing!

If all you need is invidious api you could implement it as a backend for microtube Which is something minitube has done

It depends, I also like to have list of favorites videos and history of watched videos. But lately I use Youtube mainly on desktop and TV, so I don’t need it much on phone (for my use lately, it would be mostly enough if YouTube weren’t broken in gPodder)
