Madiator Finder API allows you to contribute to community database of videos that are synced between LBRY Protocol and YouTube. To contribute to database you need to select Madiator Finder API.
If you want to be included in leaderboard you need to generate own profile from extension.

impossablank (ID: 00000048b719f588) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/22/2022 It's great when it works, though most of the time sadly it doesn't work. Every now and then I go to videos that I know for a fact are on Odysee just to check if the extension redirects me, half of the time it doesn't work. Sometimes I can fix it with refreshing, other times I need to reinstall the extension.

P West (ID: 000000c1a12a0a74) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/24/2021 Is the subscription convertion feature still working? Struglling to get the csv file that I got from Google working: Go to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout Deselect everything except YouTube and YouTube Music and within that only select subscriptions Go through the process and create the export Once it's exported, open the archive and find YouTube and YouTube Music/subscriptions/subscriptions.json and upload it to the extension

Jrad (ID: 00000093d7c16c29) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2021 Great idea, works nicely too. I'd prefer it go to the Odysee rebrand site but I'll just make a quick fork for that. Thank you for your hard work!
