#piped — Public Fediverse posts

There should be a #YouTube video metadata caching service so that alternative, #privacy-preserving services like #Piped, #Invidious, or custom platforms would at least almost always be able to display a thumbnail, a title, and a channel, even when YouTube manages to limited access to up to date information again for mere proxy services. But I assume, this might result in some copyright problems 🤔

W końcu na dniach pojawi się mój #RedirecTube 2.0! Oprócz otwierania filmów z #YouTube we #FreeTube (od zespołu @FreeTube), a rozszerzenie będzie wspierać też #Invidious (@invidious), #Piped oraz przed chwilą dodane #OpenTubeX. Będzie też pełno zmian wizualnych i wiele fajnych funkcji, nad którymi pracowałem od ponad miesiąca. A wszystko to dla #Firefox, #Chrome i ich forków!
Ktoś zainteresowany?

Właśnie w branchu `dev` opublikowałem większość kodu nowej wersji #RedirectTube. RedirectTube do tej pory był rozszerzeniem, które przekierowywało filmy z #YouTube tylko i wyłącznie do #FreeTube, natomiast najnowsza aktualizacja wprowadzi również wsparcie dla #Invidious oraz #Piped!

W związku z tym, jest też duży rebranding. Zmieniam logo rozszerzenia, a także całkowicie jego wygląd.

Rozszerzenie NIE jest jeszcze dostępne do pobrania bezpośrednio, ale każdy może je sobie skompilować i testować. Wkrótce zaktualizuję README, a także bardziej dopracuję kod i zostanie ono opublikowane w Chrome Web Store oraz Mozilla Add-ons.

From a post by dining and cooking dot com, in their alt txt they say they copied the idea, so, hard to credit.
But, roll out premade sugar cookie dough, add some teddy graham cookies, and you've got adorable.

#unplugbigtech und #diday hat mich dazu veranlasst, eine eigene #piped Instanz aufsetzen.
Also mal bei #hetzner den günstigsten Cloud-Server gezogen und losgelegt. Mit dem Nginx Proxy Manager über Docker und etwas recherche lief das Ding.
Meine Freude hielt sich aber in Grenzen. Nach Auswahl eines Videos wird statt des Videos ein Text nach dem Motto "no bots allowed" angezeigt.
Eigentlich wollte ich somit diese Meldungen der bekannten Instanzen ungehen. Wahrscheinlich war meine IP bei Google schon auf der Blacklist, oder liege ich da falsch? Für Tipps bin ich dankbar.
Vorest habe ich den Server wieder gelöscht, die Kosten des Experiments lagen somit bei drei Cent.
Das UI von Piped ist zumindest gut, da es nicht so träge wie das Original ist.

Hey #Invidious #Piped

I'm seeing a lot of stuff about these systems not working anymore, but I'm wondering if that's only for the well-known public instances? Does it still work for individuals who host their own instance, or does that get you throttled as well?

Maybe, there should be a new #browserExtension like #SponsorBlock, #DeArrow, #CaptainFact, and #tournesol, to which people can upload their videos without #AI filters if they are affected by #YouTube's AI filters. Projects like #Piped and #Invidious could natively support this and directly play the non-AI impacted videos.

#TimeTravelingGhost Part 47: EP 4: 1937 Amelia Earhart.

#Wss366 #MastoPrompt #TimeTravelAuthors 10/5. Why are you important to the story?

As we stood there, trying to figure out what to say, the moon topped the surrounding trees. The apparition became even fainter.

“I need to tend the signal fire,” she said, gliding by us. It felt like a chill wind, and in the warm tropical night, it raised goosebumps on my skin. Inland, a bird #piped, eerie and forlorn.

“I suppose we should follow her,” I said, starting back down the track. “You’re lucky you weren’t caught in an obsessive loop like her.”

“Explain?”

“Classical ghost stories feature spirits caught in a loop created by unfulfilled desires, grudges, or death trauma. They’re doomed to repeat the same actions over and over.”

She nodded. “I might have been, except you came along. We wouldn’t be traveling through time except for you.”

She paused, thinking, then spoke. “Neither of us is a typical ghost, especially you. Are you sure you’re even a ghost?”

“It’s the only term I can come up with.”

The mist was thicker when we emerged from the jungle. White tendrils passed over the moon, causing an unsettling flicker. The clicking of crabs communicating had ceased in the direction the ghostly form had gone. Behind us, the sound resumed.

Just heard the term "Limbic Capitalism" used in this video:

(I would have wrapped it into https://farside.link/ , but all #invidious and #piped instances very rarely play youtube videos)

Seems like an important term, very relevant to today's society. But internet search for it shows that there is no #Wikipedia article for it yet.
Anyone here feel like helping write it?

Инстанс pa.dc09.ru будет отключен через две недели, 6 июля 2025 года. Экспортируйте подписки. #dc09ru

Какими инстансами ютуб-проксей предлагаю заменить:

#Invidious:

• youtubenuker.lol (зеркало inv.nadeko.net)
• остальное поблочено на ТСПУ, ищите личные закрытые сервера по знакомым.

#Piped:

• ggtyler: nyc1, cal1, pol1
• piped.drgns.space

Если доступность из РФ не имеет значения, так как постоянно сидите с включенным прокси, просто берите любой инстанс из официального списка Invidious:

• inv.nadeko.net
• invidious.nerdvpn.de
• yewtu.be

#youtube #конфиденциальность #цензура

Ситуация с #Piped на #dc09ru:

• Бэкенд, запущенный на OpenJ9, стабильно ест ~260 мегабайт озу, что всё ещё больше остальных сервисов. Микросервис bg-helper для автономного получения токенов капчи BotGuard потребляет ~110 мегабайт. Итого 370M.
• Прокси для медиа, piped-proxy, находится в топе по процессорному времени, ~15 часов, сразу после nginx, ~18 часов. Проверка подписи запросов отключена, так что источник нагрузки на цпу не совсем ясен.
• Ютуб опять сломал нам апишку. Возможно, вы замечали, что сначала длительность видео указана как 0:00, ибо плееру не дали инфу, потом постепенно подгружаются потоки и длительность увеличивается (или не подгружаются). В пайпеде обновили библиотеку NewPipeExtractor, скорее всего пофикшено, я ещё не проверял.
• Спасибо хоть за апдейт NPE. Обычно в репозитории пайпеда вообще активности нету. Я понимаю, что люди занятые, но без регулярных проверок и багфиксов прокси к ютубу работать перестанет.
• Ютуб продолжает предпринимать попытки блокировки ботов, некоторые видео не загружаются с ошибкой "Sign in to confirm…", хотя bg-helper успешно получает POToken-ы. Теперь токен должен генерироваться не один на сессию, а для каждого видео.
• Подписки по pubsub как перестали работать давно, так и не работают, новые видео фетчатся моим скриптом по крону.
• Клиенты к пайпеду, в частности LibreTube, как перестали работать из-за изменений в логике проксирования относительно недавно, так и не работают. Метаданные типа инфы о канале или о видео спокойно грузятся, но не само видео — это только через кривой официальный фронтенд на Vue, там плеер умеет хендлить правильно.

Я думал о переходе на #Invidious. Есть форк от nadeko, где кэш вместо постгреса реализован через редис / кастомный LRU, и говорят, что там утечек памяти не замечено.
В бета-тестировании находится сервис Invidious Companion, который заменит микросервисы расшифровки метаданных плеера (inv_sig_helper) и генерации POToken (trusted-session-generator). Принцип действия как и у piped-bg-helper: выполнение браузерного JS-кода от гугла; так что это дело надо правильно изолировать, в rootless docker, например, как и сделано в companion. Функционал, не связанный с токенами антибота, реализован через библиотеку Youtube.js, видеопотоки теперь вытаскиваются через companion (JS) вместо основного бэкенда инва (Crystal), то есть мы пришли почти к тому же, что предлагал ViewTube — гениально.
Мобильный клиент Clipious — ну такооое, но мы ничего не теряем, ибо либретьюб всё равно не работает.

Никто, конечно же, хостить ничего не собирался.
(c) Каневский

Простите, я не хочу. У меня нет ресурсов на отдельный сервер под ютуб-прокси с механизмами обхода антибота. Как и нет желания админить эту штуку, поддерживать прайваси-фронтенд с уровнем сложности ракетного двигателя, который гугл ещё и постоянно пытается убить. Как и нет необходимости использовать ютуб: я туда захожу раз в неделю, когда мне скидывают ссылку на видео или когда хочу найти что-то конкретное. Не получится поддерживать надёжный аптайм при всего лишь одном сервере, двух айпи-адресах (v4 и v6, да, даже не подсеть) и нуле мотивации.

Oh, das schicke #LibreTube funktioniert inzwischen mit einem rein lokalen Modus ähnlich wie #NewPipe. Sehr cool, dass die App so wieder brauchbar ist und auch ohne leider ständig geblockte #Piped-Instanzen funktioniert. :yayblob:

Sehe ich auch so, daher habe ich vor einiger Zeit ein Addon für #Friendica geschrieben, dass Youtube Videos immer auf einen #Invidious oder #Piped Server abwirft. Damit musste sich der Nutzende keine Gedanken mehr machen.

Leider werden beide Projekt durch google massiv behindert.

#piped est pas mal quand on veut avoir un historique centralisé, mais les groupes d’abonnements qui disparaissent régulièrement c’est un peu lourd quand on a passé du temps à faire un tri.
Les backups et exports sont mes amis. 😁

D’ailleurs, messieurs-dame-adelphes développeureuses, pourriez-vous rendre vos noms d’export json explicites s’ils vous plaît ?
Parce qu’un nom preferences.json, quand tu en as déjà 3 de 3 apps différentes, c’est un poil irritant.

Che delusione che sti sta rivelando #Piped, i video vengono riprodotti per pochi minuti e poi si bloccano.

Sapete per caso consigliarmi un'alternativa? Magari che abbia anche un client per Android

#video #youtube

I've had big trouble watching #youtube videos using #freetube / #invidious / #piped these past few weeks, and youtube _is_ fully controlled by an increasingly tech-feudalism / trump-fascism aligned megacorp; so I'm trying to wean myself off that platform.

So! What are your favourite #peertube channels? :blobcat_nwn:

@autonomysolidarity Abgesehen von meiner fundamentalen »KI«-Kritik habe ich hier noch die Schmerzen, dass es nicht so aussieht, als sei das Verhalten steuerbar. So setzt Google / Alphabet nun bei YouTube doch noch Persönliche-Daten-Zwang, Loginzwang usw. durch. Mittelfristig werden dann auch @newpipe , @FreeTube , @invidious und #piped unüberwindbare Probleme bekommen.

Und dann ist YouTube für mich Geschichte. @peertube darf bis dahin ruhig auch ein bisschen mehr Unterhaltung zeigen 😉 NewPipe erschließt uns auch andere Plattformen, und @zapp hat auch viel zu bieten.

📦 #Platypush 1.3.5 is out!

The main feature of this release is the support for multiple backends in the youtube plugin.

It allows you to watch ad-free YouTube videos on any supported media player and manage your playlists and subscriptions through multiple YouTube implementations.

Earlier only #Piped was supported, but given the state of the project and most instances (all the ones I’ve tested, including my own, are still blocked by #YouTube’s new restrictions) I’ve added support for #Invidious too, and that’s currently the recommended backend.

The in-browser YouTube player now plays videos using the Invidious embedded player if you configure the invidious backend, so the UI can be used as a full alternative frontend for Invidious.

I’ve also added a new google backend that leverages the official YouTube Data API to search and fetch your playlists and subscriptions, but keep in mind that:

• It requires you to register a project on the Google Cloud developers console.

• It doesn’t support the get_feed() action (YouTube has removed the endpoint in v3), so you won’t be able to get the latest videos published by your subscribed channel.

• All searches and activities will be logged on your Google account, so it’s probably not the best option if you are looking for a privacy-aware experience (but video streaming will still be ad-free).

The youtube plugin should work in tandem with any supported Platypush media integrations (tested with media.mpv, media.vlc, media.gstreamer, media.kodi and media.chromecast), but media.mpv is recommended. The reason is that mpv provides the --ytdl option out of the box to leverage yt-dlp to download and stream videos on the fly, while other media plugins will have to first download the full video locally before streaming it (I’ve tried to implement my own real-time media streaming server, but I’m still not very happy with its stability).

I’ve always been baffled by the fact that there isn’t a standard format to export playlists/subscriptions across different backend implementations (even among alternative backends, such as Piped and Invidious).

As someone who has migrated through different YouTube backends and apps depending on the state of restrictions implemented by Google, I’ve often had to write my own scripts to convert CSV/JSON exports from one platform or app to a format understood by the new solution.

Since the Platypush youtube plugin exposes the same API regardless of the backend, it is possible to configure multiple backends, and write a small script that fetches all playlists and subscriptions from one and imports them into another:

from platypush import run

# Get all the playlists from e.g. the Piped backend
piped_playlists = run("youtube.get_playlists", backend="piped")
piped_playlists_with_videos = {
  pl["id"]: {
    item["id"]
    for item in run(
      "youtube.get_playlist",
      id=pl["id"],
      backend="piped"
    )
  }
  for pl in piped_playlists
}

# Create the playlists on Invidious and populate them
for pl in piped_playlists:
  invidious_playlist = run(
    "youtube.create_playlist",
    name=pl["name"],
    backend="invidious"
  )

  run(
    "youtube.add_to_playlist",
    playlist_id=invidious_playlist["id"],
    item_ids=piped_playlists_with_videos[pl["id"]] or [],
    backend="invidious"
  )

Note that the simple script above doesn’t handle merge of existing playlists and items, but it can be easily adapted - if there’s enough interest I may write a small blog article with a more complete example.

The full changelog of the new release is here. Besides the youtube integration changes, this release includes the following features:

• Many stability/performance improvements for the music.mopidy integration - especially in handling connection recoveries.

• Support for ungrouped lights in the light.hue plugin.

• Added a new Application tab to the UI, which allows you to monitor all events and requests handled by the service.

• Adapted ssl layer to Python 3.12 (which has deprecated ssl.wrap_socket()).

• Migrated the kafka integration to kafka-python-ng instead of kafka, which is currently broken and basically unmaintained.

About #Youtube:

I'm seeing more and more 'sign in' before watching nonsense not only on explicit sex scenes in films, but on #DemocracyNow videos, etc.

I'm seeing an increasing number of 'sign in' crap often on subjects like #Palestine , #policebrutality, #LGBTQIAplus stuff and so on.

I'm also seeing an increase in centre-right to far right videos in the queue , despite my obvious choices in the opposite.

i couldn't give a shit about Youtube, until #Invidious and #Piped video had difficulties and kept getting blocked by le putain Google.

Any1 else seeing this?

The extent to which #YouTube has gone to throttle alternative YouTube frontends like #Invidious and #Piped, just so they can track users' viewing habits and show them targeted ads, is utterly creepy.

Export subscriptions from an #invidious or #piped account and use the newsboat #rss reader to watch videos.

This will mostly only make sense if you use the aforementioned services, but maybe it can inspire you to use an rss reader to watch videos anyway.

edit: actually the parsing of the invidious file is different, I added it now (use the opml export).

#serpico #mpv #ytdlp

Hmm.

Given that #Invidious, #Piped, and others no longer work thanks to YT now requiring a viewer to be logged in even to view from the YT homepage or website embeds; and

given that the @fedora #FedoraPodcast is, seemingly, only available via Youtube;

How can I listen/watch it without giving up all my data to the Google #datathieves? Is the podcast available via normal RSS? Is it syndicated to other distribution channels?

has #youtube completely cut off all #privacy frontends?
I can't get any #invidious , #Piped or #materialious instance to play video.
yes, I know that #LibRedirect has few other frontends
