I’ve been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!

I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.

But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and “Add to queue”.

Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?

Are any of these solutions able to be used via an AppleTV?
