Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

basically Newpipe but only source available, not really free software or open source, so they are restricting your freedoms.

Just keep using Newpipe instead.

I don't believe newpipe has a way to cast so that's what I'm interested in here

I could not find a link to the source on the website 🤔 do you know where the source is?

Edit: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

It is open source but you can't publish modified code (this is to ensure there will be no malicious forks like there was with newpipe)

plus you missed the entire point:

... app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

It's an app that allows you to watch the same creators across many platforms

FLOSS or die

The term "open source" generally refers to the definition by the Open Source Initiative.

https://opensource.org/osd/

Not allowing publishing of modified source code is in violation with the criteria of open source.

If you watch the video, Louis explains why they only made it source available

[-] lukas@lemmy.haigner.me 7 points 1 year ago

Nah, Louis explains that the app is open-source, but describes open-source as source-available.

[-] PeachMan@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Have you used it? It's like NewPipe except that it's better in almost every way. The ONLY downside is that it's just old-fashioned open source instead of FOSS.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It's not open source

[-] lukas@lemmy.haigner.me 11 points 1 year ago

Source available has never been the definition of open-source.

[-] PeachMan@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

Incorrect. People have been calling random software open source since the 80s, because it's a very vague term. The new definition that you think is gospel wasn't invented until the OSI was formed in '98.
