D-3 — hide-shorts no longer drains a whole channel/search in one burst. The infinite-scroll trigger is derived from the FILTERED list while loadMore() appends to the UNFILTERED one, so a shorts-heavy feed with hide-shorts ON kept the trigger hot (the filter stripped each fetched page back to ~nothing) and auto-fetched every page to the end of the continuation. Now it keeps loading while pages are productive (the filtered list grows) and stops after 3 consecutive pages that add nothing visible; toggling hide-shorts off resumes. Applies to both SearchScreen and ChannelScreen; normal (non-filtered) infinite scroll is unaffected (productive pages keep the counter at 0). PrefsWriter completeness — the four SP stores the vc=88 sweep didn't cover (Enrichment, SearchCache, Playlists, FeedCache) now serialize their writes too, so no store is left on a bare sp.edit().apply(). EnrichmentStore is the one that mattered: put() runs 8-wide concurrently from the feed-enrichment fan-out (Semaphore(8) on Dispatchers.IO), so its apply() ordering genuinely raced — a real M-2 instance the audit's four-store scope missed. FeedCacheStore has no StateFlow (caller-owned state) so it uses the captured-arg form; ordering is safe because its sole writer (the feed VM) serializes save/clear from one refresh coroutine. Verified: headless compileDebugKotlin green on the straw-build image. The vc=88 PrefsWriter concurrency was cleared by an adversarial review before this builds on it. |

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.
