Extracts YouTube videos and comments, maintaining compatibility with original usage. Refactored for improved readability, structure, and platform compatibility, with a pure Kotlin JSON implementation.
This repository is a Compose Multiplatform-compatible adaptation of the NewPipeExtractor. The migration started from v0.24.5 and includes selected service-compatibility fixes from newer upstream versions. It is intended for extracting YouTube and SoundCloud content within Kotlin Multiplatform projects.

✅ The sample supports audio and video playback modes. YouTube uses progressive video streams with embedded audio, while SoundCloud remains audio-only. Platform video surfaces are implemented for Android (Media3), iOS (AVPlayer), desktop (VLCJ), and Wasm (HTML video). All core logic is written in pure Kotlin, making it platform-independent and theoretically usable across desktop and web environments too.
The current implementation has been verified on Android and iOS targets using Compose Multiplatform UI.
📦 We plan to release a cleaned-up and library-ready version of the module in the near future to facilitate reuse and integration !
