piped's Introduction

Piped

An open-source alternative frontend for YouTube which is efficient by design.

The Problem

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. You give them a lot of data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

By using Piped, you can freely watch and listen to content without the fear of prying eyes watching everything you are doing.

Features:

User Features

Technical Features

Multi-region load-balancing
Performant by design, designed to handle 1000s of users concurrently
Does not use official YouTube APIs
Uses NewPipeExtractor to extract information
Public JSON API
Federated protocol on Matrix to let instances collaborate with each other

piped's Issues

Find a cost effective Load balancer

It needs to be multi region.

The best solution I've found so far is cloudflare's expensive one and https://www.mysocket.io/ which uses aws's global accelerator, any other solutions would be helpful too 😄

F to fullscreen doesn't work

According to #139 it was already implemented so it's a regression

Handle ContentNotAvailableException

Example URL: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=tlCC1XojRzM

Videos unplayable on iOS

Videos are unplayable on iOS. Tested on iPhone X. Also the design is a bit off at the top, both in portrait and landscape layouts.

Audio on >720p playback.

Blocked by TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#461

(Stuttering) Sounds Even When Muted

Not sure why, but when I mute a video, I can still hear some sounds intermittently. This happens when I'm watching the video without pausing, but it can also happen shortly after resuming.

Example URL: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=VkhsFGswWNA

Sponsorblock PreviewBar

Allows us to see where the sponsor segments are.

Handle /playlist

Example URL: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDIoUOhQQPlXzhp-83rECoLaV6BwFtNC4

Setting up a CI with ipfs

Use the dweb.link gateway for this.

This is just for pull requests.

Preferences Page

This will include an instance switcher.

Deciding on the Database to use

I'm thinking about MongoDB, but it's not free software according to the FSF. In the worst-case scenario, I would use it.

I'm thinking about using Hibernate which is an ORM, with either Postgres or CockroachDB.

Another idea is to use https://www.scylladb.com/ but it consumes a lot of ram. (2GB for a small environment). It's the fastest NoSQL database if I'm not wrong.

Hyperlinking of URLs in the channel description

Do we want to use router links for YouTube URLs?

Music videos do not load/play

I have the issues, that some videos do not play. They just show the rotating circle in the player.

Example for video not working: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=WMweEpGlu_U
Example for video working: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=u6zsHqdNRQ8

Consider shaka player

https://github.com/google/shaka-player

Why?

support ttml captions (videojs has a broken plugin for it)
support vp9/webm mse muxing (videojs doesn't)
more actively updated
Dash streams work
Should be easier to fix issues
Can be loaded asynchronously w/o errors

Downsides:

No in video thumbnail preview: shaka-project/shaka-player#559 - there is an active PR
(Videojs has a plugin that uses vtt)
We need to see if it will work with single page apps (I don't want to recreate the player every time)

How to self-host

Hello, how can I self-host piped? Is it still too soon to have a docker-compose? I've noticed there's also a dockerized backend version.

Specific Video Only Playable at Up to 1080p on Piped

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX95U1fBM9A
Linus Tech Tips: Touch Me...

On Piped, it only goes up to 1080p (960p), while on NewPipe I can playback or download at up to 2160p (1920p).

Evaluate closure compiler

There's a webpack plugin, which can be used to improve performance and reduce the size of the further.

Handle /c/ and /user/ urls

Requires backend changes.

Fix grids on mobile

Currently, they're not centered and I have no idea how to make them.

Double Player controls issue

This needs to be fixed asap.

Settings Not Being Saved

I usually prefer setting the sponsor segments of the videos I watch, since I do like them (I watch mainly LinusTechTips (and their other channels), Gamers Nexus, and Level1Techs), and occasionally make use of them, so I tried disabling SponsorBlock and the other settings, however my changes do not get saved, and upon leaving the page, they get reverted.

Migrate to/explore Activej

It's the fastest according to https://github.com/the-benchmarker/web-frameworks

And I really like the syntax/style of coding.

Website Resource Utilization of User's Client PC

One of the main reasons why I had moved to Invidious (other than the privacy concerns), was Polymer YouTube's atrocious system resource utilization, which is why I tried to hold on as long as possible onto the old polymer-free YouTube.

Back then, I had an i3-540 (nowadays I use an i5-4570 with a Radeon HD6950), and I was able to play 1080p60fps with barely any stutters, however with the polymer theme, anything above 720p30Hz was unpractical.

Additionally, we have a BayTrail Celeron Chromebook (dechromified), that used to be able to play 720p30fps without any stuttering on the old pre-polymer YouTube, however with the polymer YouTube, anything above 240p is unplayable due to the stuttering.
With Invidious, Even 720p60fps/1080p30fps is playable with minimal stuttering, however with Piped, I cannot go above 480p due to the stuttering.

Could something be done about this? Possible a "lite" version of the website (possibly with the Invidious GUI above the Piped backend)?

Title

[Feature Request] Keyboard Shortcuts

I was quite surprised that Piped doesn't yet feature any keyboard shortcuts, so here is the request.

Basic ones are pretty obvious:
Horizontal arrow keys: Moving through the video
Vertical arrow keys: Changing volume
Space/Super (however you'd like to call it): Play/Pause
F: Fullscreen
M: Mute

Others should also chime in with suggestions.

Reduce space taken by the video

The video takes more than a screen with the navbar, you should reduce the space (with width css attribute probably)

Channel pages aren't served by Service Workers.

Not sure why this could be.

Embed youtube videos

Is it possible to use Piped to replace embedded videos?

Just an idea

You guys should collaborate with the ViewTube devs to make a bigger team

Autoplay Preference for player

This may very well be an a bug within Firefox, not with Piped.

When changing resolution, videos automatically start playing on Piped, but only with Firefox, Edge had no such issue.
Sometimes (rarely) opening a new page on Piped has the video autoplaying, again only on Firefox.

Both Firefox and Edge (possible via flag) have autoplay for both audio and video blocked.

In video thumbnails

Depends on TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#595

ShakaPlayer supports this already, so that is nice - shaka-project/shaka-player#3145

Changing tab pauses the video

As soon as you change tab or app the audio stops

Browser: bromite, can't reproduce on firefox
OS: android 9

Support for ActivityPub

I need to find some libraries for this.

Show Playlists in Search

Required backend changes.
