Yattee

This is the best (and only) client for invidious I've found!

documentation is severely lacking in the how to use department. it has quite a bit of docs on how to fix problems though, but thats just for folks who already know how to use it

It works well if you know how to use it, though sometimes(often) the videos have difficulty loading.

Was about to looking into freaking mitm my own appletv when I came across a post on the hacker news (shout out miki123211). What’s this? A foss app that just works beautifully on the hecking ios AND tvos? SAY IT AIN’T SO. Tips incoming.

This app, in its current state, is just straight bad. At least two of the three issues I’m having have been reported, months ago, with absolutely no response from devs. 1 - Seek feature completely broken until video has sufficient buffer. 2 - Audio at the end of some videos gets completely cut out. 3- App crashes when playing videos in the background with the lock screen on. Until these issues are addressed, this app is absolutely unusable. Recommendation is to avoid until devs actually give a care about fixing bugs reported months prior.

Over time, the user interface has been improved and options for multiple instances, playing and logging in through separate instances, and the queueing is great. Thank you so much for this app! For anyone having issues seeing player controls in the background (I did for a while, but there’s a fix): go to settings -> controls -> toggle off “Use system controls with AVPlayer”

Unlike Piped, Yattee doesn't work OOTB and requires some configuration. However, the configuration is simple and quick; I got Yattee up and running in less than 5 minutes. Love the UI and all the ways it can be tweaked in the settings. Videos are playing with minimal buffering at 720p but might have more with 1080p. I'm not picky; I just want to watch videos in peace.

You had one job

Really good concept, but lags a lot and freezes for all instances on iPhone 14. 30 seconds or more maybe 1 minute where app is frozen until pages or video load.

A native app to use all my local video streaming services! Fantastic! Is downloading videos local for offline playback (eg to the downloads folder) on the docket? That'd make it feature-paired with my web browser.
