6·17 days agoWasn’t Servo Mozillas attempt to solve that before they laid off all Servo staff and gave the project to the Linux foundation?
Note for people seeing this: Seal looks unmaintained but i have been informed of a similar app called ytdlnis
4·29 days agoPeertube instances can be, like lemmy, federated with other instances. Meaning looking at one instance should show both its local content and the content of federated instances.
The official Peertube android app (no login required but needed for subscriptions afaik) shows you one instance at a time. You can change the selected instance, but im not sure how the app handles your logged in account instance and selected instance not being federate with eachother.
Peertubes official global search called sepiasearch will always link all results of your query to the original instance either way. There might be some nifty api thing that makes this play nice with peertube clients but im not sure.
There are unnoficial peertube apps with different approaches but the ones i tried (newpipe and thorium (reccomendations welcome!)) follow a similar pinciple to the offical android app but without account capability.
I hope that helps you with how peertube is ‘intended’ to be used. The way peertube gets the actual video file from federated instances is a bit beyond me but as far as i understand it its very close to torrenting.

Thank you for the reccomendation, Seal has been amazing! Sorry i wasn’t that helpful when you needed it ^^`
Not what youre looking after but- I use newpipe as a peertube client, but since it supports youtube as well you can search yt music specifically and download a track in up to a 128kps .m4a of 160kps .opus file. I then use vlc for android to play em, and it works just fine :3 You may find a offline music player with a ui similar to vi as well!
Some minor gripes is that these files seemingly dont come with metadata, and you cant download a whole playlist or album at a time, both being huge bummers :/
