youtubedl-android VS yattee

For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV.

(Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers.)

For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundlcoud client.

From the Kotlin source for "dvd":

Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).

Features

Download video/audio from 1000+ sites supported by yt-dlp.

Run custom yt-dlp commands.

Update yt-dlp version from settings.

Share link via other apps.

I am trying to import the library youtubedl-android into my custom music app project but no matter what I do it does not work. I previously created a Xamarin app in C# but I am new to Kotlin and Android Studio. I followed the instructions on the github page to add the library to my almost blank jetpack compose project, and Gradle built with no issues but the library never shows up in Kotlin. I tried putting the library declarations in different places, using the dependency manager, and trying a blank XML project but nothing works. It always either says it can't find method implementation or can't resolve or just doesn't show up in Kotlin. Please help me I have tried everything I can think of.

You can download videos or gifs from websites like Youtube, Reddit with a link. Github release page:https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android/releases

dvd and seal uses same yt-dlp backend while dvd is no more maintained.

I have never try download video with Boost. You can copy the post link and download via https://redditsave.com/ or install this app to download any video on your device, https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android/releases

I think it could better implementing the download feature using this library for Android: https://github.com/yausername/youtubedl-android. It is a wrapper library for a well known CLI program called yt-dlp.

Yattee

https://github.com/yattee/yattee

it requires either public or private Piped or Invidious instaces [1].

2. https://docs.invidious.io/instances/

And there won't be since Google just got caught giving Spotify a lower rate and now face anti-trust issues. That doesn't mean they don't give certain apps certain permissions. AFAIK, Apple gives Google special permission to enable VP9/AV1 formats decoding [0].

Whether you like it or not, we're heading towards a future where Apple and Google choose who wins and who loses. A good app built on merit will never be able to compete.

haven't heard about Yattee, curious about trying it, but: https://github.com/yattee/yattee/wiki/Building-instructions

Seems like you can, why would you think otherwise?

A selfhosted instance of this, combined with [Yattee](https://github.com/yattee/yattee) as a client on iOS and tvOS is a pretty decent way to consume YT subscriptions with minimal exposure to algorithm and ads.

You can use it both with Piped or Invidious

This seems great, and it's open source, too: https://github.com/yattee/yattee

And there's a native Mac app!

Maybe I'm just getting old, but as I was reading through the list of features this doesn't have, I just got more and more excited. My watch pattern is pretty much watching videos to solve problems or research some particular thing, and I feel like I find most of them through Google or YouTube search. The recommendations _can_ be pretty good, but there's always those clickbaity, completely unrelated ones mixed in, trying to pull me into a totally separate rabbit hole.
