Microtube
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.
Youtube api key instructions: here
To cast to jupii, jupii needs to be running first and connected to device.

Great app, thanks, donated! You deserve it :)
Adding subscriptions directly from the list of finds using the dropdown menu doesn't seem to work (XA2, sfos 3.1.0.11).
Also some feature requests...
Set the default playback and download resolutions in the settings. I'm using mobile data, it would be useful to minimise traffic.
Set the default download location in settings, so videos can go directly to the memory card.
There appears to be no feedback when downloading. Using the sailfish transfers or some other progress indicator and competition notification would be nice.
It would be useful to have the option to download only the audio for a video.
The option to search for a channel rather than just videos. I wanted to subscribe to a channel who's name is present in a lot of popular video titles, it took a lot of scrolling to find one published by the actual channel.
It would be nice to have the option to order finds by views/ upload date etc.
And a few things that would be useful but by no means are essential...
Keep a video playing while searching for other videos.
Playlists/queues.
Have the playing video displayed on the card like other video players do. Not important, but pretty.
Thanks again, keep up the good work!

Finally some feature requests! Let's dig into that.
"Adding subscriptions directly from the list of finds using the dropdown menu doesn't seem to work "
thanks i will look into that
"Set the default playback and download resolutions in the settings. I'm using mobile data, it would be useful to minimise traffic."
So after you set video resolution it should be set permamently but sure i can add that switcher in settings too.
"Set the default download location in settings, so videos can go directly to the memory card."
sure thing sir
"There appears to be no feedback when downloading"
yeah i was quite lazy doing it so it kinda "just works… sometimes…"
"It would be useful to have the option to download only the audio for a video"
that will come when whole "audio only" mode will kick in okay?
"The option to search for a channel rather than just videos"
channels should be on top of the list and on the list even. Yeah i need to look into that
"It would be nice to have the option to order finds by views/ upload date etc."
basic sorting… got it
"Keep a video playing while searching for other videos"
i could kinda attach page with video
"Playlists/queues"
more work but doable
"Have the playing video displayed on the card like other video players do. Not important, but pretty"
here i have a problem. i have no idea what you mean. Could you explain?
"Thanks again, keep up the good work!"
thanks for donation!

Thanks for the reply, and also for the speed of the reply :) Gread to hear that resolution selection is already implemented. It sounds like you've already thought of much of what I suggested.
"i have no idea what you mean. Could you explain?"
As I say, this is totally not important, just eye-candy, if it's not easy to do it's probably not with the effort. In YTPlayer when a video is playing and you're on the multi-tasking view in sailfish you can see the video playing on the YTPlayer's app thumbnail. I'm suggesting microtube might do the same.
A couple more bugs...
Microtube is now telling me to "check internet connection". This happens both on mobile broadband and wifi. Is it happening for anyone else? It may not be a problem with the app, could youtube have changed something at their end? Could something have broken with my installation? Frustrating.
Error messages displayed in the find list, for instance the "check internet connection" mentioned above, or the message allowing loading of more finds, have the same drop-down menu as actual videos. Adding such system messages as subscriptions seems odd. Come to think of it, could attempting to do so be the thing that broke my microtube?

Ah video on cover, well that's doable
Microtube is now telling me to "check internet connection"
well check it lmao :P try restarting app or after you start app just wait for videos to appear? maybe you just have very slow internet. try removing .config/microtube maybe
"have the same drop-down menu as actual videos"
aw shit thanks
"could attempting to do so be the thing that broke my microtube"

Installer acted a bit rudely for me, b/c MIME handling was afterwards set to open each URL with microtube. Had to delete some related mimeinfo.* - files and reboot to fix this.

Wow! That's somehow impressive. I removed microtube, installed the fix, and then tried to open a weblink from "Piepmatz" twitter client, and also from "DailyComics"-App - shit, nothing happens, they didn't open anymore. But after a reboot the MIME-handling for weblinks is back, and now whenever I tap on a weblink Sailfish asks me if I want to use the browser or microtube instead.
I've never seen _that_ selection menu before, but it's okay....
Using Android (i. e. opening links from WhatsApp) there is still just the Android browser selection ("Browser" or Opera for me.)
