Desde que regresé a LineageOS me encontré con un inesperado desafío: Ya no podía escuchar música desde la app de YT Music.

Antes usaba una app libre llamada InnerTune, que se rompió completamente desde que Google cambió su API, y hoy en día sigue sin funcionar al menos desde el repositorio oficial. Al ver esto, y dado que tuve que regresar temporalmente a MIUI porque mi universidad me lo exigía, comencé a utilizar YT Music sin más tema. Sin embargo, al haber vuelto a LOS, y al no tener GApps, pues ya la app ni siquiera abre jajaja. Traté de utilizarla desde el navegador web, pero es medio que un martirio; se traba, se pausa, no puedo descargar canciones, y otro puñado de cosas que hicieron que en mí surgiera la necesidad de descargar mi música para tenerla accesible en cualquier momento, y potencialmente en cualquier lugar.

Por esta razón, hago el anuncio de que desarrollé un servicio web para descargar música desde YT Music. Es un servicio con enfoque autohosteable y descentralizado, por lo que cualquier persona con el tiempo y las ganas puede levantarse su propia instancia privada o pública. El proyecto sigue en una etapa temprana, por lo que aún no tiene mucho; descarga canciones individuales y playlists, las comprime en un archivo ZIP y permite descargarlas. También agrega cosas como los metadatos y el AlbumArt para cada canción, y permite descargar en distintos formatos (como mp3, opus, ogg y flac). Poco a poco puliré el software y le agregaré más cosas; mejor aún si alguien comienza a contribuir en el repositorio.

Levantaré una instancia "oficial" en mi dominio, pero no la anunciaré por aquí para evitar que demasiada gente la use, pues eso comprometería mi ancho de banda y aumentaría la vulnerabilidad del proyecto ante ataques o censura. Pondré el link en la sección de "Servicios" de mi página web, y ahí estará para quien lo quiera probar. El repositorio está en codeberg.org/Autumn64/Elisifier, y cualquier persona es bienvenida de contribuir, así como de clonar el repositorio y levantar su propia instancia.

¡Muchas gracias por el apoyo!

An #Elderly #Blind #Dementia-inflicted person needed interviews for their bookclub book downloaded onto a thumb drive and played in a long shuffled loop on their older Smart TV.

Their assistant used yt-dlp, a command line / console program to download Youtube videos of interviews/reviews and, in a Firefox browser, used the extension called Video Download Helper to download radio interviews/reviews.

Parabolic V2025.5.4-beta3 is here!

This is the final beta release before the stable. This update series brings many new features, including the ability to select video formats for audio downloads, as well as many bug fixes and small UI improvements.

Please test out the beta release for us and let us know how it goes!

anyone have recommendations/howto for #streaming #LiveTV from #UK broadcasters online (on Debian Linux)? I use #YTDLP now for downloading but it doesn't do live streaming, back in the day I used #GetIPlayer for BBC and that project dropped live streaming support some time since too.

not so interested in download/watch-on-demand things, want to access live channels in digital format to maintain/repair my #FractalChannelHopping art project: mathr.co.uk/blog/2015-12-22_fr

SD resolution or even smaller would be perfectly fine. I have a #BBC account (and could make #ITV / #Channel4 / etc accounts if necessary) and my home (in the UK) has a #television license and fast internet.

Is a USB hub with a bunch of DVB-T tuner dongles something I should consider instead? Is DVB-T an international standard? (e.g. if I wanted to try it in Europe or beyond?)

A diferencia de formatos estándar como DASH o HLS, SABR está diseñado específicamente por YouTube y es más restrictivo para clientes no oficiales como #NewPipe.

#SABR introduce complejidades como formatos de video específicos y posibles requisitos de autenticación (por ejemplo, tokens como el PO Token mencionado en discusiones técnicas).

Esto dificulta que aplicaciones como NewPipe, #ytdlp o #FreeTube accedan a streams de alta calidad sin modificaciones profundas.

Piouf ça avance mais si je veux tous les supprimer avant la fin de l’année (2024 :shibaohshit: ) y'a du boulot, je voudrais quand même trier au cas où j’aurai oublié quelques changements de mail ou des oldies à garder.

Évidement ça fait + 2 ans j'ai remplacé Waze et Maps par #MagicEarth et #OrganicMaps, Youtube par #NewPipe, #PeerTube et #YtDlp

Et toutes les Apps Google par #FossiFy, le clavier par #Futo, Evernote par #Joplin

This is news from a month ago, but apparently YouTube is currently experimenting with adding DRM to all videos, but only if you're using certain clients and your user is in the respective A/B test group.

Normal browsers are not affected, but yt-dlp for example is. (Again, only for _some_ users.)

Hacker News has some additional explanations:

In short: No reason to panic, but some concern is appropriate.

Anyone else noticed that you have to update yt-dlp a lot more frequently than before for it to work?

It used to be that updating it every couple of weeks would be good enough (IIRC), and that when it needed an update, it would work, but just be flaky.

Now it seems to break every few days, and break completely.

Seems the war with #Google is really heating up. :'(

picture a #taggart #tui table like the one above post, even the same #futurist terminal background -- but containing a (test only!) #ytdlp rip from #bandcamp ... where it turns out not all tracks have their proper #id3 tags!

i can now navigate to the artist column for the whole folder and set the artist name for everything in one go!

...still doesn't save it, though 😕 so next i need to implement the "save" modal asking the user to confirm the metadata updates and do those
