SailPipe
A Sailfish user interface to the privacy friendly NewPipe Extractor for streaming and downloading video and music.
Supports the following services:
- YouTube;
- SoundCloud;
- Media.ccc.de;
- Bandcamp.
The app supports video and audio, streaming and downloading, search, filtering, channels, viewing playlists and viewing comments.
The app doesn't authenticate to the services and so doesn't support creating comments or playlists.
For more information about the NewPipe backend see the NewPipe website.
SailPipe is an intentionally minamalist app: it aims to perform a small set of functionalities well rather than providng broad functional coverage. If you're looking for a YouTube app that provides more functionality, I recoomend Microtube.
The app is currently beta and still in development. If you're interested to read about my experiences developing the app, check out my daily SailPipe dev diary.

What a nice work and project you dedicated yourself to!
Are you planning to make it Jolla Store compatible? That would be a new gem in there...

Thanks @yusssufff ! I'd really love to have this in the Jolla Store, but right now there are two complents needed that make it fail vaildation. I've written more about it here in case it's of interest:

I'd love to be able to work around the issues in a future release though. In the meantime, OpenRepos is the exclusive place to get the latest versions.
