# strawcore

Rust port of [NewPipeExtractor](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor) (v0.26.2), YouTube-only. Plugs into [Straw](http://192.168.0.5:3001/Sulkta-Coop/straw) via UniFFI.

## Why this exists

`rustypipe` regex-parses YouTube's `player.js` and reimplements the signature deobfuscator in Rust. Every YT player rotation breaks it. NPE embeds Mozilla Rhino and executes the JS function live — resilient by design, and that's the architecture we're mirroring.

The rustypipe-backed Straw build (vc=15..17) also routed playback through iOS-progressive URLs, which hit a server-side ~917 KiB end-byte cap. NPE uses the Android client + po_token → DASH manifest path, which doesn't see the cap. Same fix, different layer.

See `memory/npe-audit-2026-05-24/SPEC.md` in the workspace repo for the full plan.
