Could you build this?
Partial The UI and family-sharing features are standard, but reliable YouTube playback depends on fragile extraction of stream URLs and shipping native apps across many platforms, including TV.
What it would actually take: Use a cross-platform UI framework with a shared core, plus a backend or on-device layer that resolves playback through YouTube's internal endpoints. The hard part is keeping extraction working as YouTube changes, along with native TV and iPad playback and the self-hosted Docker deployment. That requires mobile and TV platform experience and ongoing maintenance of the scraping layer.
