Newpipe: Pinephone (not ubports) support

[j0lol]

Describe the feature you want

A port of Newpipe for pinephone operating systems would be amazing, since the Pinephone doesn't really have good options for playing youtube videos.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

There's no way to play youtube videos that is user friendly (browsers that are ported over are slow and don't run well, theres no nice gui for mpv, invidious doesnt run well

Additional context

Invidious in epiphany:
Youtube in epiphany:
Youtube in firefox: video of firefox
Freetube: :: error: freetube-bin can't be built on the current arch (aarch64). Supported: x86_64

• Ubports uses their own systems (mer for example) that make it annoying to port
  I'm mainly talking about operating systems like pmOS, arch linux ARM, etc. which are basically just linux distributions on wayland with a small screen.

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

This will be great for pinephone users! Having newpipe ported to pmOS and simular operating systems will give these users (me included) a way to watch youtube videos without messing with slow, old or badly ported browsers. There seems to be no way to do this currently!

edit: i found out the audio not working was a problem with speaker and stuff, audio works in firefox with youtube and invidious

UBPorts is Pinephone. Doesn't matter how you say it. Linux is still Linux. The same goes for Pinephone = Librem 5.

I +1 for Linux support. Cuz that's what this is.

UBPorts is a bit different than other distros on the pinephone, both in how apps are installed, and what kind are allowed by default. This is probably the reason for the clarification. More common linux support than UBPorts' app store is preferred here, such as pmOS, Mobian, Arch/Manjaro Arm, etc, which use your typical package managers and can run most arm linux software.

+1 for Linux/Pinephone support

Let's keep track of other OSs in #1051

What about antbox? Does NewPipe run properly on Librem 5 and Pinephone when antbox is intstalled?
AFAIK, Pinephone devs aims to add native support for Android applications. However, I am not sure when they are able to implement it.

[Gymcap]

I'll keep the OS stuff to #1051 but Anbox is a viable option. Native code always seems best, but NewPipe shouldn't be the biggest problem to get working in Anbox. It's not fully functional yet, but once things like storage access, internet, etc are all worked out I think it should be fine.
