Youlag adds its own keyboard control, so it might be interfering with FreshRSS’ default ones. I personally never utilized any of FreshRSS’ keyboard shortcuts and might have overlooked that aspect.

If you don’t mind opening an issue in the repo with the relevant context, I might be able to look into it in the future.

You can catch the previous thread here, where there was a discussion about this using Pinchflat: https://lemmy.world/post/42859073

I was actually contemplating if I should’ve omitted the mention of Invidious, seeing how it is a niche feature, but I guess it was the right call to keep it.

Glad to hear that! For the “Watch later” part, the way Youlag approaches it is to turn “Favorites” into a “Watch/read it later” page. The approach is slightly different, but achieves the same thing.

If Pinchflat works well for you now, I would stick with it. The FreshRSS approach would be that it’s a lot less resource heavy and barely require any storage space. Because of this, you can serve multiple people with thousands of subscriptions.

It depends on your needs, as with most things. I chose FreshRSS as it allowed me to customize it, to turn it into a YouTube subscription feed. Before I created Youlag, I was using FreshRSS’ official YouTube plugin for this purpose.

I did stumble upon Miniflux while deciding on a RSS reader, but never considered it as it didn’t include thumbnails in the feed view.

Thanks for letting me know, I’d love to get this working for as many people as possible, so please let me know if you got any leads.

That’s odd, and you made sure that video mode for "All pages and categories " is unchecked?

If you’re not on the latest version of FreshRSS, perhaps try updating? During development and testing, I’ve always stayed with the latest version.

Youlag doesn’t come with the core FreshRSS, it’s an extension you need to manually install. You can follow the install instructions here to learn how to install Youlag. It’s the same method that you use to install any other third-party extension for FreshRSS.

Once installed, the extensions page should look like this:

Just to double check, is the Youlag extension enabled in “Settings -> Extensions”?

The view you described sounds like what FreshRSS would look like if Youlag isn’t enabled.

If you’re thinking of SponsorBlock, Youlag doesn’t support that feature. In this recent comment, I’ve shared why that is the case.

For traditional adblocking, I would suggest using uBlock Origin, which is also available on Android for firefox-based browsers.

Edit: To clarify, there are no adblocking features built-in to Youlag.

I don’t use Grayjay myself, but I tried it a long time ago, so this what I recall.

Grayjay uses a web scraper to feed the stream into its own video player, which lets them add features such as timestamp, SponsorBlock, and background playback.

Youlag is less sophisticated as it’s solely a client‑side approach that embeds the official YouTube player. If you however add your own Invidious instance via the Youlag settings, you can play it through Invidious instead.

With Youlag in FreshRSS, everything runs in the browser, so there’s no device syncing needed. That also means it even works on iOS devices, and essentially anything that can run a modern browser.

Thanks a bunch from sharing your result! Based on the fact that ICO works, and I didn’t see any real issues in the logs, it could be the “Post-processing…” part where something goes wrong (I didn’t add any more detailed logs for that part unfortunately).

Will get back once I’ve setup a basic Windows development environment and made some tests!

Based off the things you mentioned, especially the “little quirk”, there something in the pipeline that fails. The file name extension is intended to show regardless of which output format that is selected.

Are you perhaps using a privacy-focused browser like Librewolf (opposed to vanilla Firefox)? Or do you have any extension that might be used for anti-fingerprinting? MAZANOKE need to be able to access the browser’s canvas feature in order to convert images, and some browsers are blocking this feature to prevent fingerprinting.

Also, have you tested MAZANOKE on a different browser to see if it works there?

If the issue still persist, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the browser console log, in order for me to see where it fails. This will hopefully provide some hints.

Additionally, while I don’t have a Windows environment readily available, I’ve tested MAZANOKE on Ubuntu and macOS using both firefox and chromium, but I wasn’t able to reproduce it. Will test on Windows when I find the chance to.

If I understand it correctly, the heic image does get read and compressed. However, it’s the last part when clicking the download button that it instead displays the image as a jpeg (on a new tab)?

That’s still very interesting to hear, maybe I’ll look into it for my next (simpler) project just to try it out.
