I’ve been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!

But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and “Add to queue”.

Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?
