newpipe is great! But, it's only for mobile, I need a desktop solution, too.
I use a web feed reader (Liferea) and open videos in mpv. Actually I usually open PeerTube videos in the browser to give it a thumb up and possibly help with delivery, but mpv can play them too.
uh oh. uhhhhhhhh i'm afraid not. i think something you could do is get an RSS feed of all the channels you want (i don't remember if youtube still does this or not but i think peertube does) and use a feed reader to aggregate all of your inputs together on a convenient feed. but, other than that, i am far from certain.
youtube does still create a rss feed ^^ To get the url you need to tweak it a little, and some rss feaders even find it by themselves with just the channel link
The rss definition is on the videos page, so if you paste in the
youtube/c/channelname/videos
page to the RSS reader it should be able to find it.If it's really old, the direct feeds are
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[id]
but you have to hunt down a real channel id and not just a url slug.FreeTube is what you're looking for. LibreTube, Newpipe and FreeTube can import/export each-others subscriptions too
