IMPORTANT - Use the invidius api by default in ThirdTube

API: https://docs.invidious.io/API.md Instances: https://docs.invidious.io/Invidious-Instances.md

All are advantages:

  • Multiple instances and apis.
  • Api for reproducing "Audio only" (To listen to YouTube music in 3ds).
  • Api for video search (More privacy, YouTube does not know your IP, or what you are looking for).
  • Api to view videos directly from YouTube, or through the proxy of the instance.
  • Api for comments.
  • Api for the description of the video.
  • Increases comfort when programming the application.
  • Less memory consumption.

Do I need to put more advantages? I think these are enough. XD

I think this also helps the old 3ds to improve their performance for watching videos.

Is there a way to enable this?

Exactly, it would be to do a complete update of the application. But this would have the advantage that the application would be more stable, it would give fewer errors, and it would need less maintenance by the team, since the api that directly sends the information from YouTube without the need to parse the page.

PS: Maybe this means more battery savings for 3ds.

The only thing that I would add as an "extra" to avoid problems with the api in the application, is an option to configure which instance to use.

That is, by default, it has an instance configured, but it can be changed.

Did Someone Say Battery Life?

I just said it as another bonus. The processor would not have to process almost anything because the api gives it everything done, consequently more battery. Let's see the developers who think about this.

I Don't Think Windows_server_2003 cause he hasn't been responding to issues but we should hope

I'm back! I agree that invidius is better in terms of stability. However, YouTube parsing has little impact on performance, memory consumption or battery life, as it is only done when a user opens a video. So, I'm not considering this as a high-priority feature for now.
