Quick Setup: Add Your First Source​

YouTube Content​

To watch YouTube videos, add one of the following backends:

  • Yattee Server -- a self-hosted backend that supports YouTube and 1000+ additional sites via yt-dlp.
  • Invidious or Piped instance -- open-source YouTube frontends.

Local Files​

To play videos stored locally or on your network:

  • Local folder -- point Yattee to a directory on your device
  • SMB share -- connect to a shared folder on your local network
  • WebDAV server -- stream from any WebDAV-compatible storage

PeerTube​

  • PeerTube -- a federated, decentralized video platform with independently hosted content. Browse instances directly from within the app.

For detailed configuration of each source type, see the Sources documentation.
