Research (AUDIT.md has the full per-platform record): - NewPipeExtractor rejected again with fresh evidence (GPL-3.0/AGPL vs this app's MIT license; still no Mixcloud or account surface). - SmartTube/MediaServiceCore audit (both MIT): YouTube account sign-in ported as an independent implementation of the TV device-code flow - client constants scraped at runtime from the TV client's base.js, so no Brandon Google Cloud project is involved. YouTube home view shows recommendations + subscriptions shelf. - Groups.io member-only archives via the user's own API key (encrypted). - Sign-in-only Google Groups via WebView sign-in cookie capture + cookies.txt import into the existing encrypted cookie store. - Chromecast: Google's default media receiver needs no registration (old 'needs owner credentials' claim refuted); DLNA kept. - Wayback CDX podcast archive recovery (keyless). Parity ports: YouTube Takeout ZIP import (was absent), ordered filter pipeline with stop, category rename/delete, age retention + delete behaviour + confirm, reader presentation toggles, search scope, restore-last-view, Open Article/Media by URL, feed description + Reset Title, 9 new directory sources (fyyd, Podverse, Feedly, NewsBlur, Reddit, Lemmy, Groups.io, Feedspot + Google/Bing News), schema v4, keyboard shortcuts, built-in guide updated. Translations: English source of truth 58 -> 187 strings (settings detail, player, provider setup, discover, ListReading speech templates); tools/gen_locales.py regenerates all 15 locales from the desktop gettext catalogs. Tests: 81 (70 + 11 new), all green; assembleDebug green; APK verified org.blindrss.android v0.13.0 (17), minSdk 26. |

Providers setup
Build: clone with --recursive (or run git submodule update --init); yt-dlp support comes from the third_party/youtubedl-kotlin submodule.
Settings → Add provider → pick one → enter credentials → Sign in. The login is tested before anything is saved; a first sync runs after. Credentials are stored encrypted (Android Keystore AES-GCM). Inoreader: paste an OAuth access token (App ID/Key fields provided).
