Yattee Server is just a YT-DLP based back end for Yattee 2.0 (which is currently only available via TestFlight). Yattee 1.0 was actually pulled by the dev from the App Store because it was out of date and broken. Being blind, I can’t tell you the resolution that videos play in, but at least for me they play smoothly with some rare stuttering. From what I can tell, setting things to proxy the videos Directly through Yattee Server leads to a temporary download that lasts for 24 hours, but the playback is slow to start due to the requirement of the download needing to occur first. Once it does play, then the experience is as I described earlier.

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine from a more conservative part of the country and I happen to mention my set up involving YouTube. The reaction I got from the friend was negative to say the least. He outright accuse me of stealing money from the hands of creators on YouTube by blocking ads and tracking from Google. Am I a little upset at him? Yes, but not enough to end the friendship over something like this.
