JSON-over-stdio loop on tokio with four ops:
- ping liveness
- resolve Tier 1 rustypipe → Tier 2 yt-dlp -j fallback. Typed
errors (age/region/private/not-found) short-circuit
Tier 2 so we don't double-hit a wall. Pass-through
serialization of player.details + selected streams,
so the Python addon parses what it needs without us
coupling to rustypipe's struct shape.
- rip Tier 3 yt-dlp downloads bestvideo+bestaudio to a
caller-supplied dest_dir, returns the resulting
path + size for the addon to play as a local file.
- sponsorblock SHA-256 prefix lookup (first 4 hex), filter to the
exact video_id locally. Categories default to
[sponsor, selfpromo, interaction]; caller can override.
Smoke ran in crafting-table against dQw4w9WgXcQ — rustypipe 0.11.4
still resolves cleanly in 2026-05, sig decoding intact, both 4K AV1
video and Opus 128kbps audio came back with valid signed URLs.
SponsorBlock returns empty segments for music videos (as expected).
Kodi addon (plugin.video.torttube) shell with Cargo workspace for the
rustypipe-backed sidecar binary. No working extraction yet — addon.xml
parses, main.py is a notification stub, sidecar's main.rs prints scaffold
banner. See MILESTONES.md for M1..M6.
