God tiktok is so annoying. Why can't I just view this one video and move on
I assumed that they didn't want me to view it, so I took the hint and moved on.
If I really want to view it, I download the video with yt-dlp.
Same. I host a very simple frontend app on my server with yt-dlp backend. Copy-paste URL and that's it. Don't even have to download to my phone.
Good to know.
Whats the setup? Do you have a github or codeberg repo?
It's a Docker container called Media Roller (I'm not the dev). I don't expose it to the outside, just for personal use, so I don't need to fiddle with apps on my phone.
Thanks! I’ll give it a go.
I usually just open links in the browser, generally I have to go to desktop mode and it will play, at least for twitter, tiktoks, and facebook stuff the family sends me
