    Ytdlp doesn’t even work right ever since the bullshit “flagged as grownup material” algorithm started account-restricting and silently hiding videos.

      I’ve been trying to pirate music for my Navidrome, and the age verification is quite literally making it impossible to download some songs.

      Thankfully some kind soul ([email protected]) a few days ago told me about monochrome.tf which provides files in better format anyway, so as long as the song is by an artist or band (and not an unpopular game OST 😭) it will probably be on there. I guess it’s built on Tidal.

        I’d just like to be able to watch flagged videos from RedLetterMedia on my roku without logging into fucking YouTube. Lol

          Ditch the Roku and get a Google TV box. You can sideload SmartTube on it which is an open source and ad free client.

            I’ve already got a different frontend installed, but the other instances don’t have the flagged videos, hence the need to somehow download and self-host some of those episodes.
