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. License: GPL-3.0-or-later (matches rustypipe + NewPipeExtractor).

# torttube
|
|
|
|
Kodi addon for YouTube via [RustyPipe](https://codeberg.org/ThetaDev/rustypipe)
|
|
extraction + [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app/) segment skipping.
|
|
|
|
Replaces the dead `plugin.video.youtube` on LibreELEC RPi TVs after Google
|
|
required account-linking for the upstream addon.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Kodi (LibreELEC, RPi)
|
|
└── plugin.video.torttube [Python addon — UI, browse, settings]
|
|
└── torttube-sidecar [Rust binary — Innertube extraction,
|
|
SponsorBlock fetch, JSON-over-stdio]
|
|
├── rustypipe [YouTube Innertube client + sig decode]
|
|
└── sponsorblock [REST API client, SHA-256 prefix lookup]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Kodi addons are Python — the engine layer (n-param sig decoding, Innertube,
|
|
SponsorBlock hashing) lives in a Rust sidecar so we get a single maintained
|
|
extraction surface and clean aarch64/armv7 cross-compiles.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
M0 scaffold. Nothing playable yet — see [MILESTONES.md](MILESTONES.md).
|
|
|
|
## Upstream contributions
|
|
|
|
NewPipeExtractor (Java) is the canonical reference for Innertube behaviour.
|
|
When we hit a corner case RustyPipe doesn't cover we look at NPE for the
|
|
fix, then either port it to RustyPipe (Rust PR) or fix NPE directly (Java
|
|
PR). Either way upstream lands a real improvement.
