The quality of the tool. Newpipe is mainly here to watch content. Sure, it has the ability to download said content but not in a granular manner.

Its like climbing mountains in cheap sandals or doing digital paintings in paint. Yt-dlp has a lot of options to get exactly what you want. Seal gives a simple interface which in itself has a bit more than what Newpipe has. The real power of Seal comes from the custom commands. Said commands being the ones you would use in your terminal or scripts using yt-dlp directly without a frontend.

To top it off, Seal can download everything yt-dlp allows you to download. It is not limited to the few sites that Newpipe support.

Just to add to what you just said. Eternity 0.2.1 "release is functionally identical to v0.2.0"

The main issue seems to be the instance you're (OOP) currently on. If you do not want to migrate or want to wait to see if things will get resolved you can always browse in "anonymous" mode with a different instance than beehaw.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of that.

As blackstrat said, a commentator headset-microphone might be the thing you need if you ever have the money to spend on it. I could give you a good recommendation if you need one but the headset without anything else costs around $3k US iirc. That's without the needed cable and DAC. Think around $5k US for the whole thing. It is really impressive because no matter how much shouting or loud noise there is right next to you, you cannot hear it if you want to filter it out by decreasing the noise gate.

Do you need to have such a high end headset-microphone? Probably not. A good microphone, adjusted audio input settings and mixing should be well enough. However, if you do feel like you really need a luxurious microphone then tell me and I'll find the referrence for it in a bit.

Instructions unclear, brain got out of its fleshy cage and I can't get it back.

Thanks for the helpful answer. I'll have a look at that stand-up.

Something I forgot, if you are brave enough, replace the thermal paste with a good quality one. Recently I did it and since then I have seen a huge difference. Just make sure to disassemble everything so you can access the CPU and the radiator.

If you are technical enough you can use an Xposed module to prevent that. Like one that reduces the intake of energy while charging. Some ROMs also offer that built-in.

Try to see what your charger is. Maybe your phone is using "fast charging" which might make it charge faster but it will definitely get hotter. A charger that is compatible with your phone and without fast-charging capabilities might help your phone not be as hot.

Lastly, and this is less about the energy part and more about safety, make sure if you charge it unatended that it is away from anything flammable. While there is a very small change something like that would ever happen I wouldn't take the risk.

A lot of organisations accept clothes and other belongings as donation for those in need.

I am in no position to tell yourself what to do or not with your life. I know that telling you "things will get better" is just a nice way to try to get you to endure it further. As good or bad as it is, people are mostly clueless on how to handle such situations but try to be supportive. The only things I can do is be here to listen if you need someone to talk to.

If you do not download often or don't mind the longer time it might take you can do the following.

Before the URI (URL if you prefer) of the post, put view-source:, you can then proceed to search with the "Find in page" tool, or however it might be named for your android browser. In the case of this site you'll usually search for mp4 files so just search ".mp4" and you should find the file you want to download.

Sometimes you might find different file extensions on the same site for the same type of post because the uploader' files are directly the ones being posted and not converted by the site itself. In this case you can browse the source a little by searching for a potential name of the file or a HTML tag.

If that is too much of a hassle, I believe applications like Seal (found on FDroid) are able to download from such websites. There's no reason for it not to since it uses yt-dlp.

Hope that helps.

PS: If you decide to use Seal I could share a very fast workflow if it happens to work.

It wasn't clear, my bad. I meant to say that by design, on the stock OS, it wasnt meant to play multiple audio streams at once but that it was possible with some modifications either to the OS or in-app (by some ways that are beyond my knowledge).

Now that you mention it, I did see something about API level 31 some time ago and haven't paid attention to it much. Thanks for the information.

True, I did jump into conclusion way too fast, I'll be more careful.

My phone isn't rooted but thanks. I have no real use for using multiple audio streams at the same times anyway. I just remembered being able to at one point, wanted to point it out and went overboard with my comment.

You may be right. However I think it might also be how most apps are written.

Disclaimer: I am no audio expert nor am I knowledgable enough in mobile OSs to confirm it but I did manage to build myself a ROM for my unsupported phone which led me to see a lot of things under the hood.

The way Android (AOSP) is made, and Im sure the same is true for iOS, easily accessible APIs are made available for devs to implement them without thinking much about how the OS on your phone will handle it. Multiple audio streams are definitely a thing on mobile OSs, for example if I want a Youtube video playing along side a phone call and music, I can. It's just not practical if you're an attention grabber company to let other audio streams interrupt the very important audio that they want you to listen to.

Anyway all in all, you're right that mobile OSs are designed to only let one app access the audio channel because Google wants to keep you on Youtube, all their partners paying for their apps to get on Android want the same thing and I can imagine the same is done on iOS and other manufacturer's OSs.
