Would be very cool to support importing NewPipe or Freetube subscriptions. Or any other offline subscription sync that doesnt require a Youtube account.
I haven’t used either, so I have no idea about that. I imagine that these programs exporting someting like a json file, like invidious. I initially was using the yt-dlp command to extract from invidious, but it was somehow not stable, and an extra step to the process, so I opted for syncing with the yt account subscription feed. One can use the script without a yt account, however the F option (for subscription feed) will not function. The user can sub and browse the content of selected channels (c option).
