Rooster Video Tools is now supporting 75+ Video Websites!

While largely finished with this round of updates, I’m on the lookout for a few high quality sources. Mainly…

  • Indian (Hindi+Regional) — Hotstar looks impressive but requires an Indian phone number. Most Indian Language streaming sites are DRM and without native subtitles.
  • Arabic (Country specific sources)
  • European Languages without a direct source. (Serbian / Croatian / Bosnian / Romanian / other…?)
  • Malay — Tonton also looks nice but requires a Malaysian phone number.
