Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it’s an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it’s got a paid model similar to winrar, you don’t have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

    They can get forks taken down from legit places like GitHub, but this is the piracy community, isn’t it?

    Anyway, have you actually used the app? It’s fucking amazing, it works flawlessly in my experience. I played with it for an hour and immediately gave them ten bucks, it’s better than NewPipe, ReVanced, everything I’ve tried.

      Smart pirates keep everything but the stolen stuff above board. Sonarr isn’t illegal, using Sonarr to download movies usually is. Same with yt-dlp. In this case, the piracy part that’s supposed to be above board is the code itself.

      I did test the app, it felt close to the youtube app but it wasn’t as good in my opinion. It’s probably an excellent client for the built-in services it lists that I’ve never heard of, but I only have access to Youtube and Patreon and Patreon doesn’t work.

      I do see a nice future for it in the piracy community nonetheless. It should be easy to add a Plex/Jellyfin plugin, maybe a Kemono plugin for Patreon, and probably a bunch of plugins for your average ad-infested streaming site.
