- Audio-only toggle no longer drops the max-resolution cap: both the fullscreen button (PlayerScreen) and the detail Audio pill (VideoDetailBody) rebuilt TrackSelectionParameters from a fresh Builder, wiping the data-saver ceiling. Now buildUpon() the existing params so the cap survives. (H2) - Subscriptions Refresh button no longer sticks at "..." forever on a warm restart within the cache TTL: refreshIfStale clears the initial loading seed when it decides nothing needs refreshing. (M2) - Search + Channel result lists get a stable item key (video url) so paging / shorts-filtering stops re-binding rows to new data (re-triggered thumbnail loads, scroll shift). (M3, M4) - IosSafeHttpDataSource: the unknown-length (LENGTH_UNSET) chunk path rolls forward to the next Range chunk at inner-EOF instead of re-reading the exhausted source forever (was truncating playback to the first chunk). (M5) - strawcore channel_feed_rss propagates the real failure (network/HTTP/parse) instead of collapsing every error to an empty list, so a broken fetch is distinguishable from "no new videos" (subscription_feed keeps its per-channel tolerance for fan-out). (M6) - Feed recency: a clock-skewed future upload emits "0 seconds ago" (parses to top) instead of "just now" (which Kotlin's recency parser couldn't read, so the item sank to the bottom). (L4) Deferred to a follow-up: M1 (bg-refresh cache-key mismatch — needs a worker redesign) + M7 (build config-cache wiring). Verified: cargo check/clippy + 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.
