I really like the minimal design.
One thing: when I am in the video view, I'd like margin to be 0 so that there is no awkward white space around the video.

#92I'm seeing a permanent back arrow overlapping the video itself. Don't cover up the screen. At the end of the video, it still shows recommendations. Do you have any control over that? Can you set it to not show recommendations? It is missing comments. I can see why you would choose that, but I'd rather have comments (something I also miss when I watch YouTube on a Roku) and still not have recommendations because they…
>I'm seeing a permanent back arrow overlapping the video itself. Don't cover up the screen. Removed that. Originally I wanted it to make it easy to go search more, but meh, people can use the back button. :) >At the end of the video, it still shows recommendations. Do you have any control over that? Can you set it to not show recommendations? Not as far as I know. And from what I've read from YouTube's ToS, it wouldn…

#93For some time I've been tinkering with a script which manages my own fine-grained youtube subscription preferences, periodically scrapes various pages for metadata, and then as necessary extracts videos by using the youtube-dl utility. The end result is a directory on my machine which always has a few interesting videos to watch, ad-free, tracking-free, network connection free, using my favorite full-featured video p…
Do you have a way to ensure you get the highest quality? I do similar with cron but often get videos as they're still processing (and thus only at lower qualities). One issue is the channels I 'subscribe' to don't always output at the same resolution and frame rate.. so I can't do a simple 'is video 4k60' test.
Could you look at the upload date and wait a certain amount until the processing is more likely to be done?

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you like youtube-dl you should check out mps-youtube ( https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube ) which has the ability to use youtuble-dl as the backend I'm pretty sure (i prefer to use the native one personally) It's also gpl vs youtube-dl's public domain. I'm sure eventually I'll figure out a way to just do it in emacs. (I'm mostly joking... kinda... maybe.)

PyPI no longer tracks download counts on its own. Instead, they pipe access logs to Google BigTable, so you can BigQuery the heck out of them.

I actually have a script running on a cron job on my personal server that does approximately this. It downloads into a Syncthing folder that automatically syncs to whatever devices I might want to watch videos on. The difference is I just have a set of playlists for it to download, so I'm relying on the YouTube creators to organize their videos into appropriate playlists, which means it's not exactly "fine-grained".…
Uploads is a playlist.

You don't need to scrap the page, YouTube provides the RSS stream for each channel: `https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[ID]`. The RSS contains the "normal" link of each video, so you can invoke youtube-dl or mpv on it.

#100Kind of tangential, but I am enjoying NewPipe[0], which can be installed from F-droid. Background audio, video on overlay mode so you can watch it while using some other app, downloading videos/audio. Supports YouTube and SoundCloud.
