Not sure what you're saying here. They're embedding Youtube videos which YT is perfectly fine with.
hi @Thomas_9. I'm using youtube's data api and player's api without any hacks. I actually following the api's rules and available api.
If it is basically youtube but you just remove ads, I tend to think they will react. But I admit this is a feeling more than a sure fact. I can't remember the name of the app that worked on top of a Google Api that was stopped in few hours...
I don't remove any ads - only static ads are displayed - no video "trailers" though.
They haven't shut down youtube-dl yet which allow downloads of only the audio track.
You can download the video as well, actually it does this by default, then strips out the audio (-x option). -k keeps the video file.
That's true, it doesn't download only the music track as my original wording implied.
