Comment on Youlag (v4.3.0) - YouTube viewing in FreshRSS: Improved browsing experience

So, cool and all, but I’ve been using freshrss with libredirect and freetube for this for ages, and it’s great when freetube works, which with the cat and mouse with youtube is less often than I’d like (kudos to freetube, great project).

Honestly what I’d really like is something to download rss yt vid to a cache with yt-dlp (which breaks much less), grab the sponsorblock and pipe to something light and distraction free like mpv or vlc. Clear the cache after a day or whatever.

Anyone seen anything like this ?

You can catch the previous thread here, where there was a discussion about this using Pinchflat: lemmy.world/post/42859073

  Pinchflat
  
  Thanks, looks like it could work, bit more than I want, and it’ll need integrating, but it is what it is. I’ll see if it’s worth the pain to transition.
  
  Of course there’s this…

  I just have a somewhat annoying yt dlp script that runs on a schedule on my computer that downloads all my subscriptions. I tried everything else including pinchflat and it wasn’t really much of an improvement tbh.
  
  TheLeadenSea @sh.itjust.works English Could you share that script please? I’d like to set up something similar MonkCanatella @sh.itjust.works English Give me a bit, I’ll set up a gist with the details! TheLeadenSea @sh.itjust.works English Thanks!
  
  followed by crickets. Such is life.
