  • Thanks for letting me know, I'd love to get this working for as many people as possible, so please let me know if you got any leads.

  • That's odd, and you made sure that video mode for "All pages and categories " is unchecked?

    If you're not on the latest version of FreshRSS, perhaps try updating? During development and testing, I've always stayed with the latest version.

  • Just to double check, is the Youlag extension enabled in "Settings -> Extensions"?

    The view you described sounds like what FreshRSS would look like if Youlag isn't enabled.

  • If you’re thinking of SponsorBlock, Youlag doesn’t support that feature. In this recent comment, I’ve shared why that is the case.

    For traditional adblocking, I would suggest using uBlock Origin, which is also available on Android for firefox-based browsers.

    Edit: To clarify, there are no adblocking features built-in to Youlag.

  • I don't use Grayjay myself, but I tried it a long time ago, so this what I recall.

    Grayjay uses a web scraper to feed the stream into its own video player, which lets them add features such as timestamp, SponsorBlock, and background playback.

    Youlag is less sophisticated as it's solely a client‑side approach that embeds the official YouTube player. If you however add your own Invidious instance via the Youlag settings, you can play it through Invidious instead.

    With Youlag in FreshRSS, everything runs in the browser, so there’s no device syncing needed. That also means it even works on iOS devices, and essentially anything that can run a modern browser.

  • As a Lemmy user myself, I totally get the sentiment. GitHub isn’t ideal, and I had also considered Codeberg in the past (not for this project, but way back for others). Unfortunately, the simple reason is that the community is already on there, which makes getting contributions and engagement much easier. Managing and tracking issues across two platforms would be quite (mentally) taxing, which is on top of the effort already going into developing the app.

  • I'm glad to hear it's being used frequently! I've heard a similar, but not exactly the same use case, so I recommend submitting a feature request on GitHub. That way, I can review it later to assess if the feature could be included when I plan ahead for new releases.

  • If you get around to it, I'd love to know about it and add that as a feature.

  • EXIF data is removed by default, at the moment, there's no way to keep those data. I personally see that more as a feature than a bug though. The primary reason why there is no option to keep EXIF data is to maintain feature parity across different image formats.

  • The conversion option "Default" is meant to retain the file format when possible, but you can actively select the other options like jpg or webp if that fits your use case better.

  • Currently, only SVG to PNG is supported. SVGOMG is a great tool I’ve used many times as a user, but since it runs as a Node.js app, it would require server-side processing, unlike the local browser-based approach of this app.

  • If I understand it correctly, then yes, that's the case! I've utitlized several libraries such as "Browser Image Compression", "heic-to", and more, to wrap it in a web interface.

  • No worries! This setup ended up working better than I thought, and I've been using it as my primary way of interfacing with youtube.

  • Addressing the subscribing part; I had similar requirements, so I started subscribing via FreshRSS while using a custom theme to give it a YouTube-like experience.

    I shared the setup a few month ago here: https://lemmy.world/post/21381606

    Edit: One of the benefits of using selfhosted RSS with a web interface is that it is platform agnostic.

  • Looking forward to it, feel free and share it once it's ready, or if you need any feedback.

  • Hopefully this will spark some interest in that!

  • I have limited knowledge of what limitations extensions have at the moment, but considering FreshRSS is server side rendered, integrating DeArrow on a deeper level would be ideal (if possible). It would mean that the thumbnail and title you get when you load the page would immediately be the non-clickbait ones, and it would only need to run it once for each video (if cached).

    I did however test DeArrow's API and it was very straightforward. However, running it as a client-side script would essentially mean that every video would have to be checked and "DeArrowed" on the fly, and it would do that for every page refresh. That might not be very performant for you, nor DeArrow's free API service.

    In short, it should be possible, but not ideal. I'm personally interested in the idea as well, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to tackle this.

  • It applies the theme across the entire instance!

    I believe it could be done however, but it's likely more suitable as an extension, opposed to a "theme" that relies on client-side css/js. I haven't explored the documentations for extensions as I intended this to be a "quick" solution to get a youtube-like experience.
