An option to hide video #769

Audio only mode?

calzoneman commented 6 years ago

I'm not sure I quite understand the goal here. With the exception of Soundcloud, all the other sources CyTube supports are video-based websites that don't offer an API for an audio-only stream. You could try to write a script to cover up the video with a blank rectangle, but it'd still be downloading and rendering the video underneath that.

Would be nice for saving data connection but if it's impossible it's okay

Xaekai commented 6 years ago

Your only real option there is to tell YouTube to use 240p if that's your primary playlist media source, which would save a significant amount of data, but would not eliminate the video data wastage.

Closing since avoiding loading the video from video websites is not doable with their existing APIs.
