(Request) Jailbreak tweak

[mat926]

Could you implement a jailbreak tweak to show thumbnail ratings in the YouTube app for iOS?

I'm not sure how this would be possible without having access to the app's source code. Also, even if it were possible, I would think there would be legal concerns. But let me know if you think otherwise.

I think the current best option for getting something to work on mobile is the previous idea of getting the extension to work on mobile browsers (#42), although the app is usually a better user experience.

There are already apps like cercube that inject into the regular YouTube app and blocks ads on it.

Ah, got it, so it might actually be possible. Good to know.

I still have concerns about legality, but if you think there would be a way to do it that would not violate any policies, let me know.

Also, this type of development seems pretty far outside my current knowledge base, so I currently wouldn't want to invest the time that would be required to learn more about how to implement this. But if someone else wants to work on this in a way that doesn't violate any policies, and wants to have that work associated with this extension. Let me know and we can look into it further.

Do you have an api for your extension so developers could implement it in their apps?

[elliotwaite]

My extension actually uses a third-party API, the Return YouTube Dislike API. So others that want to get rating info could just use that one as well.
