The most important question does it bypass that stupid content warning that pauses my music?

I didn't see it listed as a feature on the GitHub but I'm hoping I just missed it or it's not listed.

Here on Lemmy you can add an image and weblink to a post instead of having to add the weblink into the description.

What do you mean by safe? The linked readme has no mention of safety.

There is also Simpmusic that can stream from YT Music and Spotify. I personally use OuterTune though.

No i just made a mistake lucida.to is tentimes better And also cobalt.tools for youtube

Anything that uses Google API with your own domestic IP is like using a condom with a small hole in it. Not much will leak through but just enough to make you unprotected. And now if you do use a VPN, they would cock block you one day or another.

Agreed im starting to use lucida.to And cobalt.tools

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Revanced extended apps are better. 1000001279

It seems you are using pre patchred Apks they are not safe still, try to patch yourself. If they are not to at this

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any upsides compared to revanced youtube music? (patched version of official client without requiring subscription to use)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well its faster And is cuter Its 5 mb And it doesnt need any microg And it also has a max quality option which is still beta But its really awesome And it also caches the songs once you hear them so you dont need to download them again for listening the second time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Wow music cache would be great because otherwise its total waste of redownloading same thing. How long/how big does it keep cache for songs?

I've been using lucida.to with PowerAmp or iPod 5th gen Rockbox, has worked great.

(Though my iPod had a problem playing flacs, probably because it was running out of RAM or something, uploaded the music using Rhythmbox on Linux, which uploaded the files as mp3-s that it could then play)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I play FLAC via Rockbox with a 5th gen iPod Video and it's able to keep up. I did find that if the music files have the album art embedded in them (especially high resolution art) that it SERIOUSLY bogs down the iPod as it tries to downsize the photo. Once I fixed that, it plays FLAC just as promptly as any mp3.

Lucida is awesome, I've also used squid.wtf which worked excellently.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Wow man this website is awesome

Is it good or bad that there are too many YouTube clients with too little discerning features? Not trashing on OP's project.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Good because there's enthusiasm for being able to use YouTube music without paying the subscription, but I agree that it's a shame everyone seems to be more into doing everything by themselves rather than contributing to a single piece of software and keeping it stable, featureful, but most importantly working.
Up to now I probably switched apps 6 times: Vimusic -> Innertune -> Innertune fork -> SpMp -> Rimusic -> Harmony Music (Plus others that I just tried for a few days at most)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

RiMusic Innertune Also players for YouTube music and don't require account

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Innertune and its fork with the same name haven't been able to play music for me since weeks. Just cached and downloaded tracks.

YouTube keeps changing something and then those apps stop working, just a heads up for people, get used to this happening occasionally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Well yeah that's true newpipe suffer from same problem

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

So, not safe at all. 😄
