I used to use Yattee + Piped and it was great, until Piped stopped working on iOS devices (I tried all the fixes I found, none seems to work). And I just switched to Yattee + Invidious but it seems to be limited to 360p for me (whereas Invidious works normally elsewhere). But it’s the first time I hear about Yattee-server. What’s the point of it? What does it add to Yattee + Invidious?

Yattee Server is just a YT-DLP based back end for Yattee 2.0 (which is currently only available via TestFlight). Yattee 1.0 was actually pulled by the dev from the App Store because it was out of date and broken. Being blind, I can’t tell you the resolution that videos play in, but at least for me they play smoothly with some rare stuttering. From what I can tell, setting things to proxy the videos Directly through Yattee Server leads to a temporary download that lasts for 24 hours, but the playback is slow to start due to the requirement of the download needing to occur first. Once it does play, then the experience is as I described earlier.
