Interesting idea, but I’d take it a step further. I want to control exactly what videos the kids can watch, not just the channel.

Minitube is pretty great, and uses MPV (and therefore yt-dlp) behind the scenes. It has filters that are really neat, and is very minimalistic.

I personally use it, too, to avoid distracting myself and to actively search for everything I consume.

Does it have parental controls, or a way of at least seeing what the kids are watching? I can't tell from looking at that page.
the idea is that you trust the channel that you add. so assuming every video on that channel is safe....
I added the ability to exclude shorts. Is it wrong to assume if the channel is ok, that all videos within the channel are ok?
