The new frontend is called LightTube. There is a link to one of the instance: tube.kuylar.dev. It’s that frontend that was mention the other day :)

I generally use mpv+yt-dlp from the CLI (once I have a URL). Often I use youtube-tldr (google it) to get a summary of a page - maybe you have noticed /s that youtube videos often take 10-15 minutess to get across one simple point!!

FreeTube is great for downloading YouTube content to Jellyfin so my daughter can watch it without ads.

@Frellwit @ibroughtashrubbery this is sick.

Thanks a lot! Maybe one of these is what I might have heard of. There’s no way to speed the access right? I live in Asia, there’s sometimes waits of 15s to get the video to start, and I have 1000Mbps symmetric fiber.

Try with the invidious instances or piped instances that are the closest to you.

Noptisun , 11 months ago

@ibroughtashrubbery heard nothing of that sort. There are in-browser frontends like Piped and Invidious with it's numerous instances e.g. yewtu.be. I'm also seeing few Qt-based ytdl frontends in AUR, might be what you are looking for?

Freetube is great, it’s the only way I watch YouTube now.

This looks promising! Might need to install it!
