LocalTube

LocalTube is an enhanced, self-hosted streaming server solution built on top of a specialized fork of NewPipe Extractor. By bundling a lightweight and concurrent Java HTTP server inside an Android application (localServerApp), LocalTube enables you to browse, search, and stream content from major streaming platforms directly from any device in your local network using a standard web browser.

📺 LocalTube Application (localServerApp)

LocalTube transforms the stateless library core of NewPipe Extractor into a private, self-hosted streaming web server.
