Yattee is a privacy-focused video player and multi-backend video aggregator designed for streaming online content without tracking, ads, or account requirements. It functions as a cross-platform application that collects video content from self-hosted servers, third-party APIs, and decentralized platforms into a single interface.
The project features SponsorBlock integration to automatically skip sponsored or promotional segments using a community-sourced timestamp database. It also includes an Invidious-compatible API server that can replace standard endpoints to facilitate private playback.
The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including remote media control for managing playback on separate devices, personal library management with cloud synchronization, and high-resolution video rendering. It provides tools for multi-source streaming from local network shares and federated instances, alongside a self-hosted proxy server to prevent user tracking.
The server component supports deployment via Docker Compose and includes web-based administration for managing cache settings and rate limiting.
