how would we believe you without any proof? …

I suspected that, so it’s working similar to how newpipe works.

not really usable for me then sadly, damn

does it allow me to login and get my recommendations from yt, or is it without any login functionality?

one main question should also be, do you want to selfhost or not.

because plex is not selfhosted imo due to their login servers.

you could use tailscale for that, it should be able to punch through the CGNAT

this is the way to do it.

and periodically keep taps on main releases to swap from 0.18 to 0.19

check your metadata and set the correct artist there. for every issue related to that it has always been shitty (extended) metadata. (with people often claiming “no but it’s fine” until they take a real look at it and see that it’s shit).

so give it a look and clean that up e.g. with mp3tag and/or musicbrainz picard and you will be good to go.

that looks really good!

how much work/how difficult was it?

the real LPT is always in the comments
