        FreeTube streams from googlevideo. This app is a frontend for Invidious AFAICT. Different stuff. Streaming googlevideo directly is the only method that works properly on 1080p+. Also, this doesn’t work.

          yea correct. This app seems to be interacting with Invidious. Keep in mind that Google is changing their videos to embed ads soon in their video streams.

            Nothing wrong with Invidious and everyone will need to use it when the ad injections start but claiming your app is better than FreeTube because it’s written in Rust makes no sense when it can’t ever stream in the same quality consistently.
