Just based on the wide variety of comments in that Reddit post, it sounds like there are many things that can prevent this from working. I don't know all the details of what can go wrong, but it might depend on Android version or any customizations that various manufacturers may have implemented in their Android device.
There probably isn't a single solution to getting this to work, and your problem could possibly be different than my problem.
If you figure it out, let me know. I would love to do this. I have app installed on my tablet and have the smb information entered, but it doesn't show up as Android storage like they describe.
If I were to use this, would I use a Spotify login/password with it? I'm not clear if this app allows you to save playlists and favorites, etc.
I was actually trying to describe having the server folder mounted directly on the Android device, so the download would go straight to the server and never touch your device storage. This would be separate from using Xplore, which doesn't do what I'm thinking of. I tried mounting my NAS as smb using the app in the the below explanation, but it wasn't working.

I don't think you will be able to get anything to download to another device using any of these services. I use Unchained to get things saved to my RD area, then I run a script on my NAS to download to it (the NAS). You could maybe get something to work if you were able to mount a network drive onto your phone. Then maybe you could get the phone to download to that mounted drive, instead of to the phone's internal storage. I can access files on network devices from my Android phone and tablet using an app like Xplore, but I've never tried to see if I could have Android mount a network drive, so I am just speculating.
They probably threaten some space telescopes, too. The Starlink satellites are a little higher than Hubble. I would imagine they might take up a decent amount of field of view to Hubble, by being closer.
I would think that an IP address tells you the domain name by doing a simple DNS lookup.
If I understand correctly, someone other than your ISP could see the name of the website, since it isn't encrypted. I think it would bounce through several servers that could possibly read the data.
I wonder why SmartTube doesn't work on phones and tablets? I've looked into ReVanced but I can't figure out the whole process. SmartTube is just an apk.
I've been using it for many years, but only from my home. Is there any danger of getting flagged if I login to the RD website from my phone (to add something), but someone at my home is streaming from my home IP?
I can. I just was more interested in learning about a new package manager, rather than the main topic of the post.
It was just reinstated, but probably just after he posted this
