I’ve been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!
I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.
But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and “Add to queue”.
Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?
My main prob with viewtube has been its flakey resolution auto or manual selection. The UI with it is weird and i basicially have to randomly click unclick autoselect , and switch between resolutions before it somehow lands on 1080 . Might be my browser and OS combo - macOS librewolf. Hosted on kde locally. Otherwise love it. But I dont use much other than search and watch. I use metube if I want to keep anything.
