I love Spain. They know how to do anarchy.
It is interesting that the rebellion against consumer capitalism is more consumption.

New Pipe X if you need a full client does that as well.
I know of NewPipe (Android) but can't find anything about New Pipe X

#133the project appears to have an inaccurate description. perhaps it is the long-term goal, but today it behaves more or less like a subset of what yt-dlp does.
there is some polish to the interface, so it might still be worth trying out if it does what you need it for.

#135Another library released which lies about what it is to circumvent anti-bot security. Let's just not act surprised when tighter attestation comes in effect.
This library/program solves problems that people have with pages like youtube... too many ads, no way to download videos for offline use (or archive for when they get removed), and better performance with a native player. If I was forced to watch all the ads on youtube, i wouldn't watch videos there at all.
I get it. But I don't.
For YouTube you can pay for premium.
Consuming not only their resources but also their incredible streaming algorithm for free is just a dirty move.
Doing this just puts you into the statistic of bad users that incentives companies like Google to push more intrusive DRM. Which at the end of the day makes us all suffer.
Good luck finding an alternative by the way.

#136I’m not sure I understand why Bandcamp is on the list of supported sites: they allow you to just download the files on the condition you first pay the artist for them. The fact you can download it with this tool is because the artist is letting you listen to it for free before buying it. Downloading it with this tool seems totally unnecessary and a bit of a jerk move. Bandcamp hosts mostly small and independent artis…
Personal assumption, but probably not everyone lives in a country where they can pay Bandcamp.
And from personal experience I can say, sometimes people want or have to consume media offline, because of unreliable or slow network or expensive providers. But this doesn't mean that they won't pay later if they like it.

MP3 is accepted by far more players.
Which players only accept mp3? Maybe this was true in the early 2000s
A good use case would be when you own a car built somewhere between 2005 and 2015 that accepts CDs and usb drives but only mp3 files. Some supported AAC and ogg files without them being advertised as compatible, but some might not.
Or when you keep using an old mp3 player from the early 2000's.

BTW if you browse YouTube with Firefox browser on Android you can play back YouTube videos with the screen locked using background player fix extension.
That works fine without any extensions at all, so I'm unsure what does the extension even does?
YouTube deliberately tries to prevent background playback by using web APIs to detect when the page is no longer visible and pausing the video. The extension prevents YouTube from doing that.

#139Can someone explain why this is better than yt-dlp
That's an interesting question. They only depend on a single library, but I wonder how much code is really their own. I found it curious, for example, that there is a dedicated mp4 joiner (I mean, if you already have ffmpeg, there is probably no way you can do it better yourself). https://github.com/soimort/you-get/blob/develop/src/you_get/...
That is interesting, huh, yeah they list ffmpeg as a dependency so I wonder what that didn’t cover for them.
Though there are some cases where using pure ffmpeg is just to difficult or impossible. Recently i had such a case where I wanted to merge multiple video files from my GoPro (they come out in 4GB parts if the video is longer than that), but while keeping / correctly merging all metadata such as date / accelerometer / gps / any custom binary streams. Ended up using this and worked great https://github.com/gyroflow/mp4-merge

At what income level do pirates consider it immoral/moral to pirate something?
It's probably an inverse of non-pirates who consider it a moral obligation to pay for a digital copy of something that does not diminish or remove the original
