Pipeline: a GTK YouTube and PeerTube client for Linux (gitlab.com)

I saw this app featured on a YouTube channel and thought it was pretty interesting, especially for GNOME users. However there is a rather weird thing about it: it claims to be using Piped for YouTube but it doesn't get the "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" error. I guess it uses a different API when Piped gives an error.

the Flatpak version isn't able to find the playlist/subscription JSON files in the file picker on my system

I think it may not have playlist support yet.

Random guess: Install flatseal and use it to give permissions to that folder.

Piped has been having problems with it lately. Pretty sure it’s YouTube cracking down on FOSS alternative APIs

Why are Piped or Invidious used here or in FreeTube? Aren't they serving the same functions?

Are you sure that it is indeed using piped or proxy instead of googlevideo.com?

The Gitlab page says it is using Piped and there are mentions of it in the app itself.
