M-2: route every SharedPreferences write (Settings/History/Subs/Resume) through one PrefsWriter — a per-store single-thread dispatcher — so the on-disk apply() order matches the in-memory CAS order. Previously a Main-thread toggle and an IO-thread import could land apply() out of order, and ResumePositions detached ordering entirely via a fresh globalScope.launch per write; a stale value could then win the next cold-start load. Each write reads the live StateFlow so disk converges to the latest in-memory state regardless of enqueue order. L-14: Settings storage-usage sampling (File.length() x4 + Coil diskCache.size) moved off the composition/Main thread into a LaunchedEffect on Dispatchers.IO. L-2 / L-4..L-8 / L-15 / L-16: dead code + stale comments from the vc=85 SB/RYD to Rust migration. Http.kt trimmed to STRAW_USER_AGENT; reconciled the network_security_config / feed.rs / SubscriptionFeedViewModel / net.rs / CI comments with reality; recencyScore overflow-guarded; ci/Dockerfile now pre-installs build-tools 36 (AGP 9.2.1's actual floor, was auto-fetched). Verified: headless compileDebugKotlin green on the straw-build image. |

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.
