How do I subscribe to a channel?

Tap + at the top of the list and paste a link to the channel or to any of its videos. The app finds the channel and adds it; new uploads from the last week appear in Unwatched. You can also import an OPML file from another RSS reader in Settings.

A channel shows no new videos

The public feeds sometimes stop answering for a few hours. The app then reads the channel’s videos page instead, so uploads still appear, though their dates can be approximate. Pull down on a list to refresh.

How do Picture in Picture and background playback work?

Tap PiP, or leave the app while a video plays, and it continues in a floating window. You can turn the automatic floating window off in Settings.

How do I watch on a TV?

For HD, start Screen Mirroring from Control Center: the TV shows only the video and your iPhone becomes the remote. AirPlay also works, but uses the service’s standard-definition stream.

My library doesn’t sync between devices

Check that each device is signed in to the same Apple Account and that iCloud is on for RSSTube in iOS Settings. Changes can take a few minutes to arrive.

A video won’t play

Open the ••• menu and choose Reload Player. If the video still fails, the channel may have restricted embedding; Open in Browser plays it on the website.
