This app is an alternative youtube client. You can watch videos and subscribe to channels. Subscriptions are offline.

If you scroll left on main screen you will have access to categories. You can set default category in settings

Subscriptions import and liking/disliking video is only available if you add api key but API KEY IS NOT REQUIRED if it's not clear enough.

Subscriptions can be imported. Import is in pulldown menu on subscriptions page. 

Microtube is using https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube scope, make sure you have youtube data api as well as this scope enabled.

After you enable the scope, if you are already logged in, you have to relog!

To cast to jupii, jupii needs to be running first and connected to device.

Microtube uses SponsorBlock plugin

Noone said anything about reflashing sailfish. restart app

Mighty's picture

ohk wow it worked now, guess it takes a long time to load thanks for the help and the app :D
Edit : A few feature requests (no hurries) - subtitles, changing the speed and resolution :)

Mighty's picture

Now it tells to check internet connection, but my wifi is working :(

Mister_Magister's picture

Just try and restart app

rob_k's picture

Great, thanks!

rob_k's picture

Yes, but for the moment I uninstalled Microtube... And it's still active.

Mister_Magister's picture

remove ~/.local/share/applications/microtube-url.desktop
run update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

rob_k's picture

Okay, thanks! Could you make the setting optional four opening urls with Microtube? I hardly ever need it. It remains after uninstalling too, which is not very useful. The app is very promising though, thanks four developing!

Mister_Magister's picture

I could but i rather wait for my domain handling patch to come in next sfos update

rob_k's picture

I'm searching how to get rid of this option. Mimer doesn't do the trick. What would be the best way to do this?

Mister_Magister's picture

em… it will reinstall itself every time you open microtube ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

rob_k's picture

Unfortunately, I'm not nemo but defaultuser on my XA2. Both nodejs and Microtube are not playing along completely. I can find videos, but can't play them :(

Mister_Magister's picture

Microtube is adjusted for other users. Node.js isn't though… i will build nodejs myself some time soon so just wait

delocoyo's picture

Node.js were installed. Now seems to work. Thanks

Mister_Magister's picture

:) 

PS: there's a reply function on openrepos

delocoyo's picture

In xa2. The app is able to search but it doesnt play the videos

Mister_Magister's picture

Have you installed node.js? Did you try restarting app (nodejs packages update every time you start it). 

Branja's picture

The app works amazing for me, but only on WiFi. On mobile data, it exits the app after a sec or two. Also, how does one import the subscriptions?

 

Edit: Xperia XA2 Single SIM SFOS 4

Mister_Magister's picture

Pull down menu -> Subscriptions -> Pull down menu -> import. Idk if it still work tho xd

JacekJagosz's picture

Could you give more info how did you test subscriptions import? I saved youtube.com to html in both Firefox and Edge (Chromium) and in both the app didn't do anything. Did you do it with Chrome, any other settings necessary?

Mister_Magister's picture

Ye it's broken then. I will have to steal use subscripton import from minitube its better.

enrish's picture

@emka1111 swipe up on the video while in portrait mode ;)

emka1111's picture

I installed yesterday, worked great, today does not play and does not download the image, only sound

Mister_Magister's picture

Funny :P

delocoyo's picture

Fantastic. Congrats for this new updatr. One thing, the node.js is sending any jngormation to Google?

Mister_Magister's picture

Most likely no, not because same thing is used in minitube. scripts used are youtube-dl nodejs port and some other parsers for searching. they do not use api key or anything check them out

TMavica's picture

Can u build 64 bit package?

Mister_Magister's picture

there's no nodejs 64bit package

enrish's picture

Well, I would really like to help but have no skills, so all I can do -and am good at- is testing if the app is idiot-proof... :)

enrish's picture

Yes! History, that's what I meant. I expressed myself poorly, but I see you're getting good at interpreting comments here, haha.

I believe swipes to rew and ffw are still soo much easier, especially over very long videos, but here we enter a subjective preference, so I see your point in not adding even more gestures. And to be frank the double tap (which I had not found, there you go) still serves my purposes most of the time, so thanks for pointing that out.

The strange thing about categories is that the the app never recovers usability once you tap on the not-working ones. But once newcomers know that they need to stay away from those, that's fine.

Btw I love the subscriptions offline and integration with jupii (it took me a while to find the button, I was looking in the share menu first).
Thanks for your work - Happy user here...
