[Feature Request] Possible to add an option to use Invidous instances?
I'd like to avoid going to the domain youtube.com at all. And according to my PiHole server, when downloading a video, this app makes contact with YouTube directly. So, I am wondering if an option can be added to use Invidious instances.
I don't fully get your question. Invidious is just a frontend for youtube. You're still making requests to youtube

Sure. But it's on behalf of the frontend and not me going directly to YouTube. I mean, the app, FreeTube can use an Invidious instance. So, I was just wondering.
Or, could I use a proxy to my advantage?
I am just wanting to be more private when downloading from YouTube (or rather, googlevideo.com). If that makes sense.
If I get you correctly, you want your requests to be proxied through some invidious instance. As far as I know, its not possible with yt-dlp. If you find something though, let me know

We'll see. When I have time to monkey around with the command line.
