Comment on Youlag (v4.1.0): Modernize FreshRSS for viewing YouTube and articles

I like the idea of having YouTube in my FreshRSS instance, but I can’t get the setting correct. I selected that I only want the layout in my YouTube category, but it’s still everywhere. Also, when I open a YouTube item, it looks the same as any other article. I do have a bunch of other layout related extensions enabled, so it might be because of that.

I like it, but I’ll need to play with it a bit more and try to get it to work.

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.

  I am on the latest version, and my settings appear to be correct. I also tried disabling all other plugins, but to no avail. Maybe I’ll dive into it this weekend, if I feel like it.

I recently stood up a Miniflux instance. Any reason in particular to look at FreshRSS?

  It depends on your needs, as with most things. I chose FreshRSS as it allowed me to customize it, to turn it into a YouTube subscription feed. Before I created Youlag, I was using FreshRSS’ official YouTube plugin for this purpose.
  
  I did stumble upon Miniflux while deciding on a RSS reader, but never considered it as it didn’t include thumbnails in the feed view.

  I’ve been using FreshRSS for years, because of it’s flexibility and customization options. I switched to Nextcloud News for a while, since I’m already running Nextcloud anyhow and it’s convenient, but it was far too buggy and missed some quality of life features FreshRSS has.
  
  Also, I use Capy Reader on Android and that app is just perfect, with the same flexibility, plus it lets you read articles in the app, without opening the web page.
