I've heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

I'm self-hosting Piped and couldn't be happier. Clean, distraction free and, importantly, private. No data mining. Importing your subscriptions from a Google Takeout dump is simple.

LibreTube for Android is my mobile client, and talks to my Piped server without any issues. The only thing missing at this stage is a client for my Chromecast GTVs. For those, I still watch YouTube with SmartTubeNext, which means keeping two sets of subscriptions in sync. A little frustrating, but relatively painless, for the privacy benefits.

On android i like newpipe + sponsorblock and clipious. Id use clipious all the time but it sometimes doesnt play and then i fall back on newpipe. Newpipe has downloading too.

I dont use youtube much on desktop but when i do i use invidious

Oh and i use smartubenext on android tv

Can someone explain to me why I want the video proxied vs the video coming directly from YT via a front end? I've used YouTube Vanced in the past and it was awesome when it worked

[–] neosheo@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Its for privacy. This way youtube doesnt get your ip and has more difficulty figuring out who you are

I can only recommend piped sadly, Invidious still make you connect to Google servers and do not proxy the video for you.

[–] rush@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

If I recall right, the settings have an option to proxy videos too.

If you don't see the option in the settings, you might have to try another instance, it is a feature but instances can disable it for obvious reasons.
