This looks promising, thank you.

edit: If I end up trying this out it will have to be on a separate user profile because of the permissions.

Are you guys not super sketched out by that website? Self-hosted (and unavailable on f-droid) download (why not just use NewPipe at this point?), vague About Us page, duplicated and almost certainly fake "positive reviews" left by different outlets, etc.

Personally, i just install termux and yt-dlp. Admittedly, i am on a rooted device, but i think some additional tooling is available to give termux access to the shared user storage area.

I got sketched out when I took a closer look at it. I forgot NewPipe existed to be quite frank, it makes much more sense for me to use it instead of the linked app.
