[OS] Custom YT Channel App + Admin App

[Jaxparrow]

Custom YT Channel App

I started this project to create a custom Yt channel app. I could’ve used YouTube data api. YouTube api is limited to 10K requests per day. That’s why I found another way to make the app function. It’s by using a separate database for our app and an admin app to add/edit videos in the user app. This project is made as an experiment and I know this can be improved in a lot of ways. I did my best to document everything I know. You can take your time to read this thread.

Notes
This is not in production state. You can contribute to this project. If you want to publish to the playstore with your channel. please make sure to follow these rules if you are going to. They mentioned YouTube API. But, It’s still recommended to follow.

Credits

Yea, I have to credit alot of people for using their extensions and resources. I didn’t use any paid assets/extensions to make this App/Project.

Resources

I don’t own the logos/channel used in app. Since, this is not in production environment and I’ve used them since I was experimenting with them. I explained why I’ve used the extension and where I’ve used them.

[Raja_HarshVardhanSolanki]

Great Nice, Is This Working With API?

[Jaxparrow]

No, here I said why I didn’t use that and what I’ve used instead.

But You Have To Improve Your UI

[Jaxparrow]

@Jaxparrow

This project is made as an experiment and I know this can be improved in a lot of ways.

Yea… But, I am leaving this project. That’s why I posted it as a thread with every details and information.

[Akshat_Rana (Akshat Developer)]

Great work @Jaxparrow i appreciate your work

[NV_Browser_3.O]

yes you forgot to give credit to developer of viewtools
and also give view tools download link of that extention

[Jaxparrow]

I developed view tools for this specific project. It is to check if the view is visible to the user in a scroll view. It had just few blocks. So, it was not worth to upload it as a separate thread or extension. But, if you want it. Here you can download this.

Why like this coming in app
When i upload video on admin app
It shows like this on user app

[Jaxparrow]

Can you upload a ss of how it looks in the admin app so I can know if there’s any problem with the data structure.

[fazan_fawz]

[Jaxparrow]

Thanks for reporting. I checked the project and It was working fine for me. Please let me know if you made any changes to the blocks.

Check with this project and let me know if the problem persists. Also, make sure if you filled all the required fields in the admin app adding video.

[fazan_fawz]

[mahmowd]

You can
1- Make the video play without moving to
another page
2- Caching the video to listen to it without the Internet

[UnknownMan541 (Shubhanshu Jaiswal)]

1. Do you means by facebook like auto video play view

2. Easy to make

[mahmowd]

1- Yeah that’s what I mean
2- But how are YouTube videos and I think this is against Google’s policies
