/tech/ - Technology★

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

>giving up that easily

just make a library that hooks into another program that uses the youtube api

>>941265

It is possible to write a client-side solution. I did a very primitive one with Emacs, but the thing is, like most sites, you need an api key and therefore an account to do so, and, at that point, the existence of a third-party solution is redundant. The only exception to this, I think, is twitter. Even if the backend is proprietary, having concerted, freely-accessible api's, in my opinion, is more libre than even having a federalized, "open source" solution in an Internet where the client/server model is the de facto standard.

>HookTube no longer uses YouTube api for anything

<still sources from googlevideo.com

lol

>>941268

You don't need the API to get the source video file from the youtube obfuscation of the location.

Can someone please explain this meme to me? What is the purpose of hooktube?

I actually had to write a fucking firefox extension to unmeme this shit.

>>941274

>I actually had to write a fucking firefox extension to unmeme this shit.

Well, considering all you had to do was change the YouTube url in precisely the same way that you would with YouTube overlays before HookTube, I'm gonna call bullshit on you, larper.

>>941274

It's a way for youtube to continue receiving data from users.

>>941277

>changing the url

exactly. I was getting tired of doing it manually everytime I clicked on a hooktube link.

>I'm gonna call bullshit on you, larper.

why? Do you think writing an extension that replaces hooktube with youtube is so hard to do that someone from /tech/ can't possibly do it?

I'm gonna call bullshit on you, retard.

>>941280

to be fair nu-/tech/ can't really into computers

>>941283

I'm not nu-/tech/ though. I'm an employed Rust programmer.

>>941263 (OP)

I think this just affects the search. Use ddg and !yt to find the videos. Bonus, ddg will offer to show you the video itself.

>>941285

oh + the ff plugin that redirects jewtube to hooktube url

>>941287

Care to answer >>941274?

>Can someone please explain this meme to me? What is the purpose of hooktube?

This garbage thread made me go to /g/. Fuck you /tech/.

>not using youtube-viewer for CLI browsing+viewing

>not using gtk-youtube-viewer for GUI browsing+viewing

>not using them with torsocks

Just end yourselves.

Why did they even comply, tho? I know it'll seem like the "/tech/ doesn't do shit" meme but if some megacorp sent me a cease and desist I'd just limit myself to publishing a kindly felt "fuck you"

>>941371

And how would you rate this solution privacy-wise?

Rest in piss, hooknosetube

>>941371

No difference in privacy.

>>941263 (OP)

RIP. Back to smtube then, I guess. As good a solution as any.

An alternative is eachnow (using adblockers and uMatrix is recommended though).

>>941263 (OP)

am I right that the main feature (playing videos) is still there, as in youtube-dl+mpv?

>>941263 (OP)

you aren't getting stuff for free goyim

it costs money to host massive collections of videos you know

you should be milked in exchange if you want to use it

>>941498

Replacing "you-" with "hook-" still works.

>>941280

>replacing hooktube with youtube

spotted the kike

>>941504

Would you please care to explain what would the difference be once you have any cookie related to Google blocked?

>>941505

>>941520

youtube-dl working in cloud, promising to not mistreat your activity logs + some bells and whistles on top of that

What's the purpose of hooktube anyway?

>>941535

not wasting bandwidth in google telemetry

>>941274

Did you upload that extension anywhere? I'd love to have it. Can't fucking stand hooktube.

>>941545

look, e-bugchasers!

>>941547

>all these butthurt jewtube shills

Wew. So does anyone any good alternatives now that this one is gone?

>>941565

*anyone know

>>941263 (OP)

>>941263 (OP)

Hooktube is stuck at "Hooking up..." animation, help.

>>941568

Read the rest of this thread

>>941579

If I wanted to use something else I would have already done so.

How do I:

-download video

-download livestreams

-read description

-view author's profile

-view playlists

-read comments

of YouTube videos using only free software on a desktop GNU/Linux system?

youtube-dl can only download video and audio files, but that's it which is not enough, granted it also supports few dozens of different websites in one package.

>>941565

I use smtube. The only features I wish it had were playlists and groupung comments that are responses together. Otherwise it works great.

>>941604

>need to install additional software first

So any browser-only alternatives?

>>941316

>still fetches from youtube

There's no escaping the botnet, unless you want someone to pay for a server which will waste bandwidth relaying videos to you.

>>941603

>youtube-dl can only download video and audio files

God, you are so fucking stupid. Why don't you read a man page before you open your ignorant mouth to whine and beg people to spoonfeed you, you lazy ass?

>>941673

I did search manpage for anything related to video comments and haven't found a way to download them. Now I'm interested in this kind of software too. A free youtube viewer for Android exists, but not for desktop linux?

>>941689

>desktop linux

Yeah because it's ~1% usage.

>>941708

One percenter™ and proud.

>>941689

There is. If you literally just read the thread, you would know that there are several, fucking imbecile

SMtube looks like a good replacement

>>941669

Hooktube does the same thing, though.

>>941603

FreeTube, under GPLv3

https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

It needs some polish, like making auto-play optional and supporting external players like mpv, but it's fine as it is.

>>941565

I wonder what the next jewtube will be now that this one is gone.

>>941869

>making auto-play optional

That shouldn't be too hard to add IMO.

On the other hand, I don't know how they implemented the autoplay, yet.

Now that hooktube is dead, streamlink is subverted, and youtube-dl is taken over by google, what program can I use to download protected youtube videos that is FOSS? I looked into avideo and another youtube-dl clone to no avail.

I wonder if anyone can/will make an addon that restores the features to hooktube

>>941274

literally, URL="$(echo $INPUT | sed "s/hook/you/")"

>>941883

pafy, it's a python api for youtube that mpsyt uses.

It also has a terminal command that works almost like youtube-dl.

>>941413

because /tech/ is really just a bunch of larpers that won't do shit, let alone have a /tech/ related job at any point in their lives.

That's no problem though. Proper way to get subs and the such going is by doing how NewPipe does it, just sub to the RSS feed of the channels or export the RSS list from NewPipe. Use an own RSS feeder like your lazy ass should do and automatically open the feed in hooktube. No functionality lost.

>>941936

That's no problem though. I don't watch videos at all. No functionality lost.

>>941945

That's also a way to do it

>>942040

I stand corrected, apparently the dev did release Hooktube's JS under the GPL. Though it still loads nonfree JS from Google and Cloudflare.

Can't it just do what NewPipe does? NewPipe is free software, just look at what it does and try to port it to whatever hooktube's written in. It may take longer, but then you'll be less dependent on Jewgle's shitty API that locks you out when you get too many users.

That said, I only trust hooktube with shit I don't mind if any random asshole knew I watched. Jewgle is going to know I'm watching it anyway, so better only one entity to know than two. Hooktube serves a much lighter webpage though, which is why I use it at all. Ideally 8chan would implement some extra server that does nothing but grab youtube videos with youtube-dl in whatever quality will fit the file size limit and instead of embedding it, convert the anon's post to a file upload in mp4 or webm. Videos that are too big send an error. It would definitely need a per-video captcha or something to prevent abuse as well.

FreeTube looks good aside from the mobileshit interface. >>941869 And there's always the terminal clients.

>>941604

>>941779

>>942040

SMtube is literally just a fucking browser that opens one of those shitty youtube cataloging websites, you retards.

>>942040

O-o-or you can just fucking use mpv with youtube-dl… Yes, even 3D.

>>941876

I was referring to youtube you retarded kike, not hooktube.

>>942040

hooktube BTFO

toogl.es (this comment will be ignored)

FreeTube seems good. Do all clients share API keys? Is there any way botnet can still work through it, assuming you don't simply watch the same obsure videos as you did while in the botnet?

>>941883

>youtube-dl is google'd

what did she mean by this?

>>942275

Anyone who clicks a random link deserves to get pwnt. Learn to converse.

>>942091

Where do you think you are? Some place of competency?

>>942275

>>942091

I prefer mplayer, but yeah, it's that easy.

Why not use free tube?

>>941883

What's with streamlink?

I just play videos with VLC via Tor.

I usually just run `torify vlc <yt url>`

Works well, and for my subscriptions I download them when I start my computer with a cron job. All tunneled through Tor, of course.

>>942040

>claims it can be used to circumvent regional locks on videos. It can't

Europoor here, it proxies to the US so it works perfectly fine for me.

It's not something that works if you are already in the US.

>>941413

because hooktube is ultimately a website, not a downloadable program

this means it is fully plausible to kill hooktube by sending a C&D to their host or regristrar, in a way they cannot easily fight. Meanwhile programs have no problem endlessly spreading because people run them on their own machines

>>942414

https://gitgud.io/m712/goyt/

Blow me

>>942983

Searching is back and so are channels. (random example https://www.hooktube.com/channel/UCBa659QWEk1AI4Tg--mrJ2A)

You have to search for a channel yourself now, though. You can't click on them directly from the videos anymore.

How come he can do this now?

>>942984

>You have to search for a channel yourself now, though. You can't click on them directly from the videos anymore.

I spoke too soon, he just implemented that as I posted. You don't seem to be able to do it from the front page, though.

>>942984

>How come he can do this now?

Maybe he was just trolling before? The changelog hasn't updated yet.

Or maybe he spoke with Jewgle and they allowed him to keep his foreskin as long as he didn't put up any ads.

>>942989

WELP

There goes Hooktube, can't even download the videos anymore either

>>942984

>You have to search for a channel yourself now, though. You can't click on them directly from the videos anymore.

I can. All of the features are back. HOWEVER, >>942989, it seems like hooktube's video fetching itself isn't working. Guess he had to pick between the site doing the thing it was supposed to do and having features? He hasn't updated the changelog, his gab or his twitter. Wonder wtf is going on.

>>942991

I hope to god he's just experimenting right now, Hooktube was my last way of viewing YouTube without giving shekels and data to Jewgle. If the site stays this way I'll have to stop using YT altogether.

>>942992

Well you had to allow scripts for "googlevideo.com" in order for Hooktube to work. What's the difference (tracking-wise) between allowing scripts from that domain, which is clearly run by jewgle, and allowing scripts from "youtube.com"?

>>942997

I'd rather not use Youtube at all than give Google shekels.

>>943000

well yeah

but what I'm wondering is: what is the difference between allowing "googlevideo.com" and "youtube.com"? To use the old hooktube, you only needed to allow "googlevideo.com"; to use youtube or nu-hooktube, you need to allow both. If youtube tracks your data with "youtube.com", and sells it to make shekels, why can't they do that with "googlevideo.com"?

Must really suck for those in countries like Germany where tons of videos are blocked, I wonder how they'll get around it now. Although, I suppose there are other websites that let you download youtube videos. Maybe they could use one of those, but they'd have to download each individual one instead of streaming them.

>>942719

Why use VLC when mpv exists?

C&Ds mean shit.

t. real attorney

>>943006

Check the differences between opening a video on youtube and what happens when you click on a related video.

F

It was a good run. Fun while it lasted. Sad about the end. Fuck you JewTube, and fuck you for not doing the sane thing and using <video>.

At least my use case is still ok, though: getting similar videos and searching. The rest I can use mpv to play them.

>>941267

>>941565

I've been working on a local client for awhile, recently put it up at https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local

It's HTML only. Most of the basic functionality is there except for subscriptions (which is what an RSS reader is for, but I don't know of any that properly display the thumbnails.)

No API key is used. Everything except the video file is (optionally) routed through Tor for anonymity.

>>943035

Looks like it's finally officially dead.

F

Now even replacing the url to hooktube is useless.

>hooktube search features are back

>doesn't use html5 video anymore

<but now theres an easy way to search and pipe it to mpv

I don't know how to feel about this, i guess that hooktube only embedded the googlevideo link anyway so i guess this is a better end?

Sucks for 100% web users and /pol/fags though.

I guess someone could write their own script Do it that replaces the yt embed with html5 googlevideo link the same way hooktube already did.

That can fix almost all of the problems except for the embed issue here on 8chan.

>>943006

I think it's mostly because googlevideo only hosts the raw streams in <video> tags so it can't put ads in it.

The thing about googlevideo was that it's purposefully designed to obfuscate the place where google is storing the videos.

That's it's only purpose, they do everything else through modern web design bullshit.

tl;dr Google are full of fucking idiots, that's why.

So what is the best way to download/stream the webm audio now? That was my favorite feature hooktube offered. It was super convenient for downloading podcasts.

>>942997

tell him to make a program or some kind of DLable extension like ublock origin that does the same thing like hooktube used to do before it got google'd, or just move to flipland and setup a more secure website there

>>942722

Hooktube doesn't proxy shit. Which is the point I forgot to add.

Shit like Startpage work by proxying all the traffic, so Google receives a bunch of requests from the same IP. Hooktube can't and doesn't do that because it's too expensive, so all it does is serve users embedded YT videos. If a video is blocked by region it can't "umblock" them.

>>943151

for some reason the look of that in your pic reminds me of the 90s somehow, and the leftist bland as fuck shit design (like win10 and most 'modern' website designs) is an atrocity and an abomination, the kind you would expect a liberal woman would come up with

>>941535

It enabled normies who don't have any computer skills or tech know-how to bypass censorship on youtube, including EU country-blocks etc. It also enabled normies to download and mirror videos easily on other websites.

>>941263 (OP)

can an anon make a u block origin version of hooktube? and also an archive.is variant of it?

>>943204

F

I suppose one could use the hooktube GUI, but have some userscript or redirector extension which replaces the jewtube embed with the raw webm/mp4 perhaps using a service on the local host? But that would really defeat the purpose of using hooktube, since normalfags can't use it anymore.

>>943006

Googlevideo doesn't do analytical bullshit on you like Youtube does.

>>943220

[citation needed]

why doesnt someone just rehost the original site but in a country that doesnt suck jewube cock

>>941263 (OP)

Can't the dev just dump the old source so we can run our own instances?

(Also darknet git ftw)

>>943228

If you open up Ublocker or anything similar you'll see that Youtube has loads of sites it links to including Google Analytics.

>>943234

does ublock origin work well against kiketube's datamining algorithms with the right code?

>>941371

Would that let me view "mature" blocked videos without making an account?

I'm 30 years old.

I made a userscript that gets the muxed stream URL and redirects you to it instead so it plays in your browser's standard HTML5 player.

>>943108

Jdownloader works for most videos except live streams? It even works on the few "ghost removed" videos and automatically muxes the video and audio streams so you're not limited to max 720p of the already muxed streams.

>>943275

Doesnt work anon, it redirects but it just loads a blank page

>>943295

Try using the helper script or just go back and let it retry since it seems to randomly fail from time to time. If it still doesn't work it might be that the video in question doesn't have muxed streams. If that's not it, it could be browser related to how it handles the javascript timing, you could try putting a small setTimeout before window.location = muxstream;.

>>943204

>hooktube has been (((jewtubed)))

just go to ddg and add "youtube" to whatever you search for; clicking on the yt links gets ddg to offer to proxy the video for you. I didn't used the "!yt" thing.

>js only required for actually watching the video

It's already better than hooktube. I'd like to see support for viewing the comments though.

>>943377

Actually, I can't tell if my browser's just fucked. It looks like video can work without js even. Anybody confirm? I've been having video playback issues for some reason.

>>943379

Yeah, it works. Nevermind.

>>943377

>I'd like to see support for viewing the comments though.

can use hooktube for that kind of stuff, just use invidious for watching the videos

>>943390

ew, what a faggot

it's better than using youtube though

>>943405

Isn't this literally what google wanted to create with jewgle plus?

>>943361

Seems like the creator of invidio.us broke the embeds so it's back to standard Youtube embeds now.

>>943323

>>943322

History ain't gonna do shit. Hooktube caved to literally ZERO pressure from anywhere. Literally nobody was telling them to stop what they were doing and they stopped it anyways. All you have to do to be better than hooktube is not be a fucking invertebrate.

>>943480

I don't like that's a separate application

I think that it could be done with a local .htm and a regular browser.

>>943301

Now it is just redirecting to the youtube thumbnail

>>943486

If it gets a thumbnail the video doesn't have any muxed streams. I did some more testing and found out that some youtube videos with muxed streams have ciphered signature keys that need to be decoded first. Just use invidio.us for now instead, I'll redo the userscript later.

Aren't there anti-trust laws against this sort of shut-down?

And against google's overwhelming monopoly in general for that matter

>>943553

>anti-trust

This would mean that facebook, twitter, netflix, etc. didn't exist. Sorry to break your bubble. Also, google doesn't have a monopoly on anything anyways. People don't search the web as much as they did, and they have various resource for searching it today. In fact, you could say that stuff like DuckDuckGo, SearX, StartPage, etc. helped google by providing competition. Some food for thought.

>>943555

This is one of the most cuckchan posts I've seen in awhile.

Now.

Or else.

>>943561

It's to the letter of the law. If you provide more competition, you help to give credence that there is no monopoly. And since facebook, twitter, netflix, amazon, and to mention smaller video delivery sites like sproutvideo, etc. allow people to upload videos, google can argue they don't have a monopoly on video because all these other outlets provide the same service. For web search, well there is Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, SearX, StartPage, and others that provide results as well. The law is what it is. Google isn't in any prejudice.

>>943562

Google can still use the others as evidence for competition.

>>943567

So this is the power of cuckchan cross-poster...

Hooktube is fucked now, main pages is booty. search function, comments and description are back but the videos load from youtube's web player instead of fetching the mp4s and webms from google video directly to your browser's video player.

>>941285

>using duckduckgo

>not searx

Just use mpsyt if you really care about YouTube that much.

They can't use the API without getting jewed, but what about a screen-scraping approach? Then Google has no practical recourse other than IP banning, which is easily circumvented.

I'm aware this makes development into a permanent arms race, but that's the world we live in now, apparently.

>>943746

You almost always get a captcha when you do that.

>>943885

That was quick.

>>943390

>>943405

Oh god.

GIVE US BACK HOOKTUBE I DON'T WANT THIS

>>943888

>>943885

It's back now.

>>943913

Can someone make a script to get rid of the cancer reddit comments.

Almost everything else about this site is perfect.

>>943916

Nevermind.

Just this to ublock:

Search bar and viewing channels features seem to be back.

>>944125

They were back 2 days ago

>>944780

Because that's what Google serves up unless you're using actual youtube and only in chrome.

>>944781

Hooknose was using youtube-dl embedded in the browser though, realtime muxing shouldn't have been impossible to implement.

>>944780

>>944789

browser/HTML videoplayers are shit and can't mix streams

a custom player would be required, which means more jabbashit

>>944791

>jehovascript

invidio appears to be using that for its player.

Maybe they'll implement client side muxing never ever before being sued?

>>944791

simplest way would be using two media elements and syncing them with js

>>944881

which again means more javascript

>>944789

hooknose was also 720p max

RIP invidious

>>945205

The site is dead. Citation is -> www.invidio.us

>>945344

I accessed that several hours ago and it was up.

Maybe that ledditor's server is under stress.

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/invidio.us.html

Now flood that website's kikehub issues with "website down" posts.

>>944791

>a custom player would be required, which means more jabbashit

Redirect all video links to a custom protocol which is then handed off to an external player.

Viewtube can do this.

>>943322

First time seeing this, and does looks good. It even looks like there are subscriptions too. I havent made an account on the site, it is good?

>>943323

>>943322

At least this one is AGPL'd, so people could potentially host their own instances

Can I use YouTube-DL to get the audio-only webms? One super convenient feature of hook tube was that ability.

>>945949

youtube-dl --list-formats menes.fi/benis

youtube-dl -f "format number" menes.fi/benis

You can also mux them together by simply adding another format with +, quite useful for playing back high quality streams through mpv.

use the tech support sticky next time.

>Login to invidious by Google account yesterday

>Add site to cookies deleter addon whitelist

>Go to site now

>Im unlogged and I have to log in again.

Why?

Also, does registering to the site by the other method keeps your subscriptions from your other account?

>>944214

JUST. USE. GOYT.

https://gitgud.io/m712/goyt/

>>944780

Because beyond that YouTube uses DASH fragments.

>>943480

FreeTube is a purpose-built Electron app (embedded Chromium based web browser) for YouTube. Last time I checked it connected to YouTube via HTTP, had no proxy options and there was no way to turn off search suggestions..

>>946193

>proprietary cuck site

No thank you.

>>946370

what do you mean? It's GPL and self-hosted

>now includes ads on the website

>pls buy NordVPN, sir

Ugh. The site is completely useless now.

>can no longer circumvent "this video is unavailable outside of youtube" errors, while NewPipe can

>can no longer download video/audio, while newpipe can

>can no longer remember the default global playback rate so I have to manually set it to 1.25 on every single video

Is there a way to download a perfect 720p copy of YouTube video?

I heard youtube-dl gives different video hashes everytime

fuck is youtube shit. I hate their autoplay crap, so i disable. They re-enable it with an update. I disable it. Turns out, it now gets randomly re-enbaled every few days. I write a user script to disable it whenever I load the page. They fuck around with their ui and break my script. I update the script. We'll see what comes next. Fuck youtube and fuck the modern web.

>>952313

Download the pre muxed 720p mp4 instead?

>>952367

Guide/settings? The hashes has to be perfect match everytime I run the script

>>952398

I don't use youtube-dl, but try:

youtube-dl -f 22 "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID"

>>948258

>Windows

You're doing everything wrong

>>952354

I do this, too, but I block the video and comment section because I stream with mpv, and I don't want to waste the bandwidth.

>>943574

And all those networks have e-mail lists discussing exactly what can and can't be said. Often with government backing.

It's only "not a monopoly" if you believe these corporations are rivals rather than team mates. The illuminati as it were are all different people with different corporations under their belt but they all sit round the same table and discuss what to do. The public face might be that they're all rivals who hate each others guts but the reality is they're all going to the same Elite parties, have the same circle of friends/connections and they watch each other's backs. At best you could say they're mercenaries but it's likely they do plan for how they want society to go with government agencies and then push whatever works towards it. This was confirmed by a British news paper who admitted the UK government uses soap operas as propaganda tools to set the public discourse.

>>952450

You can put just the ID you know?

youtube-dl -f 22 4TjbdRpe41Q

>>952913

Does Violentmonkey also support GM_Download?

>>953289

I think so, but it doesn't seem to use the updated GM.x format for standard commands like the latest versions of Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey, so you might need to edit all the GM.x commands into GM_.

>>948258

Haven't been to the thread in a while so didn't see your post, but if you're still wondering, this is fixed in 1.5.2.

>>952479

>>952450

So if you run the script twice it outputs the same files with the same hash?

>>954026

you don't re-encode it since the audio/video is already muxed, so it should
