Thank you. Very nice of you. Can it be possible to get subtitles?
There's https://ytlibre.ga which let's you reproduce YT videos without JS.
The website is hosted by me in a Banana Pi, running Parabola. It's currently
in Spanish, however the only thing you have to do is to paste the video link
and reproduce it, so it's not difficult.
Note that some
I've never tried livestreamer, but gtk-youtube-viewer streams. Well, really
it just opens vlc or mpv with the url and the player streams it.
gtk-youtube-viewer can search, download, stream, display comments, display
the description, and search by channel.
You can view all playlists by a
I never thought about streaming. Does livestreamer usually support YouTube as
well as youtube-dl, for streams?
youtube-dl-gui just provides an interface for downloading videos. It doesn't
provide an interface for a mostly-full experience: search, watch, comments,
description, download,
Yes, that works great for downloading. As far as I know it can't stream or do
most of the other features you suggest in your initial post. My usage of it
is limited, though, so I could easily be wrong.
Guix does have a package called youtube-dl-gui. I haven't tried it but it
might be worth
Huh?
YouTube-DL has always worked. Just use that, and put an interface around it.
Yes, gtk-youtube-viewer can load comments.
Yes, that would be more convenient than having to copy/paste into the app,
but at this point I'm happy to have at least one option (gtk-youtube-viewer)
that works at all. Any solution that doesn't allow us to be tracked will
eventually be broken by Google, so it doesn't seem worth optimizing
I can get mpsyt, but I can't play videos from it.
Problem playing last item: Sound Quality - Foobar vs WinAmp vs AIMP vs iTunes
vs Windows Media Player : Sorry mplayer doesn't support this stream. Use mpv
or update mplayer to a newer version[1/13>
OK, but there needs to be a way to tell the system to open YouTube links in
the YouTube app rather than the "website."
I want to be able to click on a YouTube link from any app and have it open in
the YouTube app.
Most YouTube videos I receive are in Mumble.
I see you're having the problems with Guix that I was having.
To fix them, follow the instructions in
[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Application-Setup.html
"Application Setup"] in the Guix manual. This should fix all the locale
errors and stuff.

I think we are better served by fostering content provided in many GNU
MediaGoblin instances and also Internet Archive (although this last one
still has to fix their JavaScript). And also, don't forget: contributing
financially to those who host and also to those who make the content.
On top of all the now familiar complaints about YT, there are also the issues
raised in this blog post about disturbing auto-generated videos aimed at
getting kids to watch ads:

Users should not... view yt vids in a browser:)
For me youtube-dl + mpv + mpsyt is working jolly mighty well fine.

SMTube is in Debian main (as of Jessie), but Parabola finds it non-free and
it seems like Trisquel does too. I trust their judgment over Debian's so I
have stopped using it.
I just tried gtk-youtube-viewer in Flidas and it does almost everything you
describe in your initial post. The only
I would like to note that putting this into a website would be unnecessarily
roundabout. If it's possible to load comments without YouTube's JavaScript,
that can just be done in a libre YouTube player application. I don't know if
that's the case, though.
Like you I can find few from pacman (Parabola) but Guix not yet working, for
Trisquel the result needs to be similar.
[hd_scania@parabola ~]$ pacman -Ss YouTube Qt && guix package -s YouTube Qt
libre/minitube 2.8-2.parabola1
A native YouTube client in Qt. Watch YouTube videos without Flash
You can still view YouTube fine if you change the user agent to Firefox 43 32
Bit GNU/Linux using e.g. user agent switcher add-on and use an older version
of ViewTube which can be downloaded from here:
Not available? why not to download the source and compile it yourself? do it
when your needed program it is not available on your distro.
Okay, I think I screwed up and accidentally recommended proprietary software.
I should have looked at it more closely before suggesting it. I'll see
tomorrow if I can find a libre replacement but for now ignore everything I've
said.
sudo apt install smplayer
"The YouTube Browser couldn't be launched. Be sure SMTube is installed."
Try smplayer.
cal@leela:~$ apt search smtube
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
cal@leela:~$ guix package -s smtube
It isn't available.
Neither is youtube-viewer, and mps-youtube says mpv won't play the video,
even though I can do 'mpv ' just fine at the command line.
What's wrong with SMTube? (That's not a rhetorical question. I actually don't
understand the issue well enough to know if there is something wrong with
SMTube.)
I agree with all of your points, all of them are Google's problem; not Free
Software's. If Google's Craptube was something more than a naked grab for ad
dollars maybe they would have designed it with users in mind. Craptube can't
be fixed, its broken by design.
Viewing videos on the site
Users should not click a YouTube link and be automatically bombarded with
proprietary JavaScript, like what currently happens in Abrowser.
Users should be able to click a YouTube link and automatically view the
video, channel, playlist, and comments without running proprietary
JavaScript.
Other sites supported by avideo or other programs should have similar
interfaces and redirects.
