Lots of desktop front ends.
Meanwhile I got to emulate Android to run S-Tube because there's nothing good for remote control use for Plasma Bigscreen.
At least my Bigscreen "easy to use" legit package might be done soon.

Still can't set the video speed above 2.25x? Otherwise it's useless to me.

Honestly the mobile app doesn't work for such long periods of time that I've all but given up and gone back to YouTube.
If anyone knows an app to replace YouTube that is actually reliable then let me know! I'm in the market.
...truth?
Run your own yt-dlp frontend. Punchflat... or one of the many other solutions out there. Dump your subs to a folder and let Jellyfin turn them into individual shows with episodes.
I shouldn't have to do that!
Don't tell me. Tell Google, or... pay them, I guess. Your call. I'll be over here turning my lemons into lemonade. You do whatever you want with yours.
Did you just have a whole conversation with yourself? Lol at least give me a chance to respond.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I suspect common responses and prepare for them.
The "canned answer".

Can you tell me more about these yt-dlp frontends? I've been looking for one for a long time, but I haven't really found any. I was thinking of using mov-cli instead so I atleast have a search feature.
Look for YouTube webuis on docker.

Punchflat can dump YouTube channels on schedules in a way that Plex and Jellyfin can digest them as shows and put them up like any other show. You can auto-delete old episodes as they get old to keep your data low, or simply roll one or two month's of your subscriptions and barely keep anything.

Simpler and more like a gun you aim at urls and download them. More hands-on... Pinchflat is the only one I know that integrates with Plex and Jellyfin.
Thanks, I'll look into these.
The other most used frontends are Newpipe(and it's forks) aswell as Revanced.
Will check them out, cheers
I'm on Newpipe, it only rarely stopped working like this.

Would have preferred android TV app
Much smaller target audience I believe. Also SmartTube exists.
Yeah but.....what happens when dev get tired of doing updates and combating Google?
Suit yourself.
I use smart tube right now. But every time google purposely breaks it, I hold my breath wondering if "this is it when they give up."
Does it have tabs? if not I can't see myself caring.
It doesn't look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.
We sorely need a Truely FOSS/Libre Alternative to GrayJay (Preferably under an AGPL Licence) So to get the ball rolling, What does GrayJay have that FOSS alternatives like let's say NewPipe doesn't ??
