- The UI is pretty nice
Very well done, everyone! Please accept a star on GitHub.
I had no problem with the previous two frontends (Piped, Invidious). But the main problem with this type of application is that when an enough number of users are reached, YouTube starts banning requests from their instances. Have the authors of this frontend thought about how they will solve this?
A feature I found particularly interesting is the ability to view community posts which I haven’t seen in any other frontends.
Invidious supports community posts.
Oops, I didn't notice that. I'll remove that part.
Thanks for sharing. This seems MUCH faster than Invidious.
Should I try it instead of Piped? If so, why?
Probably not, Piped supports higher resolutions and better video formats.
Care to elaborate how this differs from invidious and piped?
Well I checked their instance and get this message (No compatible source was found) 
. But I keep my fingers crossed for the development!
Lower your resolution and see if that helps. I get a similar error using Freetube (Windows) when I select a resolution over 720p.
It's working well on my end. They also have a few other instances up, maybe try those out?
I got the same error. I’m gonna check that on my computer later and see if it works (I wast trying it on mobile). And I checked that without an account so maybe I need that too to change some settings. Thanks for the links! It’s good to heave some other front ends besides Invidious and Piped :)
It's working and damn it's so fast compared to Invidious and Piped. Thank you so much for that post!!
we have fixed those a while ago, now everything should be right we're getting a website real soon also, with list of instances
hi, LT contributor/hoster here. me and kuylar did not expected this amount of star activity on LT repo, lol thanks for posting LT here! -InF
I wish I could bookmark/save things I also wish that somebody makes an addon of this for kodi.
@Zenaida_macroura i'm probably one of the only people that actually likes that current youtube layout. Just make some overhauls here and there, and it's practically alright.
hopefully there's more instances that show up in the near future, and the development goes pretty smoothly..
I really like that UI compared to Invidous' Are these videos proxied, so will my IP address be known to Google?
They say the videos are proxied in the github's readme. Your IP should be safe.
Images don't seem to be proxied.
This is awesome!
Not working in Safari iOS :/
“No compatible source was found for this media.” When trying to view a video using the first instance you linked in your post.
