I'm not super technical but if someone knows, I would love to know how does it pull the video from Youtube/Twitch in the first place? Like wouldn't Youtube try and block sending data to this application somehow? Wouldn't twitch? If not today then when it pops up on their radar, and has a meaningful dataplace.
- tarruda 3y agoAlso not certain about details of how it works, but there are open source youtube frontends that manage to do this, while also adblocking: - https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped - https://newpipe.net/ https://newpipe.net/ IIRC piped uses a network of proxies which is exposed as a service, so youtube is not even aware of what clients are watching.
