Newpipe Format import export option? #23

Open denemier opened 3 years ago

denemier commented 3 years ago

hi i am searching an alternative for newpipe mobile open source youtube for desktop. i saw your app built on qt and liked fast transition performance. but you have no option for our subscriptions and feeds can you bring a simple export import feature and by doing that it would be nice to have file format like newpipe, so we can have a usefull alternative to newpipe on desktop...

i have tried freetube opensource project but its too slow but they have newpipe support already.

Note: -subscriptions -custom feeds that fetched only selected subscriptions

There is an option to export your Youtube subscription in RSS format at the bottom of the https://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager page.

MotionBox can read text documents and turn links into playlists.

UPDATE: they changed the URL exports to some weird https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=xxx, so you have to replace feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= by channel/.

but when i import into motion box i cant export it anymore right? because there is built in feature to add a channel as feed. Or should i maybe find and save the feed file from motionbox program directory? is it any?

@denemier Sorry for my late reply. As of right now there is no official export feature. But browsing or copying the saved playlists files would be an option since it's entirely XML.
