FYI, There is a really cool design project here: <a href="https://refresh.study/" rel="nofollow">https://refresh.study/</a> that also explored the 'playlist' feature.<p>I've been building a browser the past year (<a href="https://synth.app" rel="nofollow">https://synth.app</a>), and have learned a few things from it (including implementing media players like this). Really makes you realize how little our browsers are currently doing for us.
Stock pictures never cease to amaze. What a mind-bending collage: <a href="https://brave.com/static-assets/images/optimized/playlist-plane@3x.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://brave.com/static-assets/images/optimized/playlist-pl...</a>
This will get shut down very soon. I am actually surprised Apple even approved this.<p>I essentially built the same thing for myself (music player that combines/searches multiple sources, use youtube-dl server to stream optimized mp3 only), I had to skip app store and sideload it.
This seems to be bypassing all the ads in YT? Basically we can get Youtube Premium for free here? Wondering what's the legal implication for brave.com to make such as app?<p>edit: I could be completely over thinking this.
From the FAQ:<p>> Brave Playlist supports most open web standards. However, it does not currently support Digital Rights Management (DRM) tools or media delivery services (e.g. Spotify or Netflix).<p>Other than that, seems like a handy app, especially now that travel is on the upswing again.
If this gains any kind of traction I will be shocked if Google doesn't squash its ability to access YouTube videos. Google can't be ok with this.
Neat. It feels like there’s space for browsers to “browse” non-html content. This is a great example. So much of my browsing is media based, it makes sense that the web browser should have media controls and features.<p>I wonder if generating/editing media could also use some love. For instance, basic audio/video editing so you can clean stuff up before you post it.
> Audio and Video can be saved for offline mode, for playback when you don’t have internet, but they cannot be downloaded and moved to a separate device.<p>The missing download and export function seems like an obvious and very annoying omission.<p>Hopefully it can be added in the future.
Are you able to drop in your own local MP3 files to Playlist? I miss having an offline audio player not connected to a streaming service. Anyone have any Android recommendations?
I think creating BAT was one of the smartest things Brave did. How is that relevant?<p>It has > $2billion market cap. They don't need Google's money like Mozilla.<p>This feature allows you to download a youtube video and watch it offline. It also lets you play it in background mode so you can listen to audio with the screen off. Google doesn't let you do that unless you pay for youtube.<p>And on the bottom of this announcement, I see a link to another Brave project, a search engine: <a href="https://brave.com/search/" rel="nofollow">https://brave.com/search/</a>
I used to use Brave a lot, not so much now. They seem to be trying to become a privacy-friendly alternative to Google, which I respect, but I'm not sure why, I thoroughly dislike their Brave Ads.<p>Not because their (edit:they're) intrusive, but they're basically saying "We're going to block ads from Google, but we're going to show you our own ads, because ours are privacy-friendly!"
They are adding a subscription feature though, so that might hopefully be a solution.
I thought the AppStore didn't allow apps that download videos from YouTube:<p>>5.2.3 Audio/Video Downloading: Apps should not facilitate illegal file sharing or include the ability to save, convert, or download media from third-party sources (e.g. Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, etc.) without explicit authorization from those sources.<p>So either they have permission from YouTube, or will be promptly removed from the store....
