Is Stacher open source?
Last time I searched 'stacher open source' on Google, I found a Reddit thread discussing when it might become open source.
EDIT: The reason I ask is that the article says Stacher is open source, and that is news to me.
- uhx 1y agoSame here. Couldn't find any source code
- 1gn15 1y agoI couldn't find any source code either. Cobalt also isn't really libre; their backend is AGPL, which is great, but their frontend is CC BY-NC-SA, which is not so great (and definitely not open-source). I'd advise against downloading via someone else's servers anyway, as can be seen by their instance being blocked by Google. Hopefully some day someone manages to port yt-dlp to WASM, then it can be run locally in the browser without needing a download. Fun fact: yt-dlp is public domain! That's really generous of them and I'm really thankful for their work.
- fao_ 1y agoFor Android I use Seal (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.junkfood.seal/ https://f-droid.org/packages/com.junkfood.seal/ and https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal https://github.com/JunkFood02/Seal), which is absolutely wonderful and has just the right amount of resolution of the options-space. For Linux... youtube-dl I guess, because there's still no really nice alternative to it. It doesn't seem like Stacher supports non-debian systems, or non-gnu libc systems, either.
