    Good to know, thanks. If the FreeTube flatpak is working for me, I might as well try the Newpipe one if it’s that much better. I guess I just assumed that the translation layer would add CPU overhead.

    I’ll have to look into Grayjay. Is there a flatpak? I’m on immutable, so flatpak is much preferred.

      Newpipe flatpak is totally broken XD

      but it is more efficient, the translation layer is not an issue.

      Actually, I am not sure what LocalSend and ConverterNOW use but those also look kinda like Android apps with GTK decorations.

      Grayjay is android-only but a really nice cross-platform player. It is a framework with plugins, for nearly all streaming services… apart from Peertube??
