Other than Libretube? Available on fdroid? I want proxied interaction with google apis.

[Edit] After a bit of hunting, I found an app https://www.f-droid.org/packages/app.suhasdissa.vibeyou/ the recommendation service isn't there, but gets the job done.

In settings you can chose either YouTube or piped

Seems like it doesnt support searching specific tracks without spotify login.

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but NewPipe will play anything from YouTube without ads. Play on background for audio only.

Vibe You or Mellow music on IzzyOnDroid's F-Droid repo

[–] rdmemd@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah good recommendation.

Could you specify what is wrong about Libretube? There is a background playback option and even an audio mode with no video.

[–] rdmemd@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago

I wanted to keep my videos and audio recommendations seperate. Also libretube isnt best at recommending tracks.

[–] Quexotic@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I haven't looked into piped, but if you're flexible, both Firefox and newpipe can do this. Newpipe is better.

Musify, it's on f-droid

[–] rdmemd@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

Musify isnt piped based. Sends requests to youtube, images.genius.com, suggestqueries.google.com, www.lyricsmania.com, to name a few.

What's piped? You might get better answers if you give a link explaining that.

[–] rdmemd@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago

Piped is a yt frontend that proxies the request to youtube from the instance you choose. There are multiple instances available with piped.video being the most popular.

Not all piped based, but you can use beatbump.io on desktop. Innertune or ViMusic on Android (both available on FDroid). I prefer InnerTune as you have more control over offline tracks.

[–] rdmemd@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes its not piped. Both innertube and vimusic sends data to music.youtube.com

[–] aindriu_b@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Didn't realise they sent data to YT/Google. Am now more interested in any answers you get 👍

Beatbump looks amazing thanks for sharing!

Some time ago, I tried every youtube music client on F-Droid. (I think there were like 8 of them). I think I remember at least one had piped support, but I don't know which one was it. You can try that, too. There really isn't a lot of them.
