vc=87: audit #2 fix sprint — close two vc=86 regressions + MED/LOW
Fixes from the second code audit (which adversarially refute-verified every
HIGH/CRIT — 0 survived; these are the confirmed MED/LOW):

- Duplicate-key crash (M-1 + M-4): the subs feed, Search, and Channel lists
  key their LazyColumn by video url, but the sources weren't fully deduped —
  a video appearing twice (collab/cross-post in two subscribed feeds, or the
  same videoId across two search/channel shelves) made a duplicate Compose key
  → IllegalArgumentException → screen crash. Subs merge + Search/Channel FIRST
  page now distinctBy(url); the continuation paths already did. (M-4 was a
  regression of the vc=86 key additions, which only deduped the append path.)
- IosSafe end-of-chunk roll (M-5): the vc=86 change set chunkRemaining=0 on
  inner EOF expecting the NEXT read() to roll, but Media3 stops calling read()
  after a -1, so a LENGTH_UNSET inner still truncated to the first chunk. The
  roll now happens WITHIN read() (loop) with a progress guard so a no-progress
  chunk can't spin; folds in the zero-length-chunk EOF case too.
- SearchCacheStore.clear() is now atomic (updateAndGet) so a concurrent
  record() can't resurrect a just-cleared entry on disk (M-3).
- Gate the YtRelated autoplay branch through isAllowedYtUrl to match the
  universal-allowlist invariant (L-11); no-op-guard setLatestKnownVersion
  (L-13); drop two unused TrackSelectionParameters imports (L-3).

Deferred (low-risk hygiene, none a crash): SharedPreferences write-ordering
serialization (M-2), the migration's dead Http.kt sweep (L-2), a stale-comment
pass. Verified: full Android compileDebugKotlin green.

Straw

A Sulkta fork of NewPipe. Android YouTube client, Compose UI, Media3 player, with SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike baked in.

The extractor is strawcore, a Rust port of NewPipeExtractor exposed to Kotlin via UniFFI. No InnerTube/JS deobf code path lives on the JVM anymore.

Install

F-Droid repo: https://fdroid.sulkta.com/fdroid/repo

Add the repo in your F-Droid client of choice, then install Straw.

The app also self-updates from the same repo when an APK lands there with a higher versionCode.

What's in

  • Search, video detail, channel pages, playlists
  • Inline player + fullscreen + minibar + background audio + PiP
  • Media3 ExoPlayer (DASH / HLS / progressive / merged DASH chunks)
  • SponsorBlock auto-skip (categories user-toggleable)
  • Return YouTube Dislike on video detail
  • RSS-based subscription feed (fast — ~1s for 50 subs)
  • Hide-shorts / hide-paid / hide-age-restricted feed filters
  • Resume positions + watch history + search history
  • Local playlists, downloads (video + audio)
  • NewPipe-format settings import (subs + playlists + history)

What's out (on purpose)

  • Trending / algorithmic feeds. Subscriptions only.
  • iOS / desktop targets. Android-only for now.
  • Google Play Services anything.

Layout

strawApp/   Sulkta-authored app — Compose UI, Media3 wiring, SB + RYD clients
rust/       strawcore — UniFFI wrapper around the Rust extractor
shared/     KMP scaffold inherited from upstream NewPipe (unused for now)
app/        Upstream NewPipe :app module — kept for reference

Build

./gradlew :strawApp:assembleDebug

Requires the Rust toolchain plus the four Android targets:

rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi \
                  x86_64-linux-android i686-linux-android
cargo install cargo-ndk uniffi-bindgen

…and ANDROID_NDK_HOME pointing at NDK r27c (or newer). The Gradle build runs cargo ndk + uniffi-bindgen automatically.

License

GPL-3.0-or-later, inherited from upstream NewPipe.
