Microtube
This app is an alternative youtube client. You can watch videos and subscribe to channels. Subscriptions are offline.
WARNING: This app requires yt-dlp to work, installation of yt-dlp as well as keeping it updated is user's responsibility. You also will need deno if you want to seek with avc1 (+ on some videos it provides formats normally not available without it). In diagnostics (settings -> pulldown menu) you can verify that microtube can use yt-dlp, and for microtube to use yt-dlp it needs to be in standard path (/usr/bin worked for me, but adding path in .profile did not).
Instructions on how to install yt-dlp/deno
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.
Microtube uses SponsorBlock plugin

It doesn't. In landscape mode it enables gestures so controls both volume and brightness and turns off automatic brightness for that reason. It has been doing that for literal years now

First of all thanks for this very great application. Unfortunately after a few videos watched it only played sound and now it doesn't play videos at all. I even tried removing temporary data with mashka and reinstalling.

I'm sorry if I'm causing any of that hair ripping along with Lineage OS. I did those steps and it's working. Thank you very much! What was causing the issue (if it irritates you to explain it right now, you don't have to)?

How can I use this app? I'm running SFOS 4.3 on Xperia XA2 Ultra. I've installed node.js as well as your app. It loads everything and I can search for the videos, but when it comes to playing them, it's stuck in an infinite loop (like this - https://imgur.com/a/mPNEm2N). On data and wi-fi.
What should I do?

have you made sure to have latest version? try restarting the app if that doesn't help, close app, remove ".local/share/microtube/microtube/js" and then restart the app (two times just to make sure)

The latest version from the openrepos (version 2.1.5). I've deleted the folder you mentioned. Started the app, then killed it. Started it again through terminal, tried to play the video, and this is the output that I've got - https://i.imgur.com/uaa5x3e.png
