You can’t search multiple platforms at once with newpipe. This is a bigger thing that you think.

Also it has recommendations

That’s basically what it is

No. At least not yet

It also has that. You can login with google

You don’t even need to subscribe and get recommendations

It’s actually the lables that are ripping off the artists.

Spotify isn’t profitable. They’re constantly losing money

Most people want a great discovering experience and viewing experience and a good looking and smooth UI.

Odysee feels laggy as hell.

But most people aren’t you.

You’ve never uploaded a video to YouTube have you? Their creator tools are actually incredible and their stats are a good way to tune their videos. Of course you shouldn’t completely rely on them.

Also it isn’t just the content. I rather use YouTube over Odysse, even if it’s the same content. It’s such a better experience, especially on mobile. Odysee is on the level YouTube was 10 years ago.

Also making a free video streaming site isn’t really profitable. I don’t know if YouTube still isn’t profitable, but I’ve read reports from 2015 that it still wasn’t profitable.

It makes sense that they now try to push things that make them money. They wouldn’t push ads so hard if they weren’t desperate.

They aren’t as good as YouTube though and that’s the problem. YouTube isn’t great. It’s just the best platform like this that we have.

Yeah haven’t thought of that, but they aren’t really YouTube alternatives. You don’t use them instead of YouTube, but as an addition.

That’s not possible though. There simply is no content on other platforms and they generally aren’t as good as YouTube and probably never will be.

The only platform I could see to rival YouTube in the future is Twitch

I think so. Most people won’t have a problem doing that.

Plex originally was a fork of XBMC for MacOSX and had the name OSXBMC, but I doubt they nowadays use a lot of code from XBMC

Kodi is the new name of XBMC

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, but Emby isn’t a fork of Kodi/XBMC. It’s even written in a completely different language. People were mad that Emby went closed source, so they forked the latest open source code and called it Jellyfin.

I guess it does. There probably is a plug in for kodi

By default it isn’t

It isn’t. It’s a media center originally developed for the Xbox

Yeah ik, I’m still not gonna use it anymore. Jellyfin is so much better for a lot of things.

Kodi is horrible on touch devices. I also don’t want to have terabytes of files on every device I want to watch something on. Sure, there are workarounds, but I could also just use Jellyfin. Yeah I don’t use Plex, I use Jellyfin.

But it’s really just mainly because I dislike the UX of Kodi.

No. The first one doesn’t load

It’s fmhy.pages.dev

You don’t even own it when you buy it

Git is centralized by design.

It’s gone

That really doesn’t change that they have to comply with DMCA requests.

Lol. Somebody reposted my post on reddit: reddit.com/r/animepiracy/comments/16v4jru/saikou_the_best_anime_streaming_app_on_android/

I don’t mind at all and am kinda happy.

I backed it up. You can try it if you want:

Just try it. I backed it up. But you need to have an AniList account since it uses Anilist’s API for a lot of features:

Doesn’t really fix the issue if it’s only available over Tor or I2P.

Yeah it even has the release calender built in and you can see how long you have to wait for a new episode to release

Ehh, not for me.

Like I said before it’s an Manga app that added Anime streaming functionality. I still use Tachiyomi for Manga though.

With Aniyomi I can’t easily discover new anime, continue watching ones I added on Anilist on my PC and have this beautiful UI with really good, switch sources with a press of a button and have these fluid animations.

Just look at this:

Nobody would use the app then because nobody know of it and people would download viruses.

No. That’s literally the point of it.

Maybe they changed something since I used it the last time when it came out but I find the UI to be horrible.

It’s a Manga UI used for watching anime. I rather have a UI with beautiful animations. Saikou has one of the most beautiful UI I’ve ever seen in an app.

While I love Tachiyomi (J2K) as a Manga reader and I think it’s the best one on any platform, it’s not great as a Streaming app designed as a streaming app (I know Saikou isn’t just a streaming app and you can also read Mangas in it, but I rather use Tachiyomi for that)

Edit: just checked it out. Nope still a Manga app UI for an anime streaming app with horrible discoverability and you can’t switch between different sources easily. The sources are cool I guess, but I don’t need those. You also can’t add something on Anilist and automatically have it added to your “continue watching” list.

It was pretty popular and had thousands of stars. It even trended on GitHub

So this was pretty much unavoidable.

Gitea already has that.

Then they would sue you and could get you in prison or at least you have to pay a very large fine. Possibly millions.

Just that Saikou isn’t just an anime streaming app. It’s also an Anilist client. And it’s beautiful and I love the animations and video player features like a skip intro button and it’s generally just beautiful. You also can read Manga with it, but I honestly prefer Tachiyomi for that.

Yeah, I mean any Anime related app takedown

But I like Anilist. And the UI and features of Saikou

The UI of Tachiyomi isn’t made for Anime. It’s a Manga app and it’s great for that, but it’s horrible for Anime

Not on most servers
