pipepipe, currently working great for me. There are times it doesn't but that's YouTube's fault, not the fault of newpipe or pipepipe.
Though I wish they would fix the bug where it can't handle me moving from ipv6-only mobile network to ipv4-only home internet, I have to quit the app and relaunch it and resume the video for it to actually bother trying to resolve DNS again
same here, i actually switched to pipepipe because tubular has been having issues for a couple weeks.
Out of curiosity, which phones are you using where PipePipe is working for you?
I'm using Pixel 8 and I only get errors with PipePipe.
@november@piefed.blahaj.zone
@Nima@leminal.space
Android 14 on a Nokia XR 21.
hello! i use a Oneplus 8T. I'm watching Josh Strife Hayes as we speak! no errors.
i wonder why that could be. have you searched for the error you're having in the issues section of the github? see if anyone is having the same errors?
Pixel 8 Pro and GrapheneOS. Working for me at this very second.
ive got a pixel 7 with grapheneos, running pipepipe v5.1.1
Newpipe at the moment
Waterfox with uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock enabled
I use firefox with ublock origin. Its not as good as an app, but it works for me.
This is what I do too. Get SponsorBlock. It's fantastic
Grayjay
Firefox with ublock
Morphie (I don't use it)
YouTube Morphe. It's the new revanced fork after they had some drama. IIRC most ReVanced devs are working on Morphe now.
Oh damn I'm still on revanced, imma check this out
Ah interesting, what was the drama? Might have to jump ship
i don't really know honestly. some personal disagreements between the leader and other developers.
from my experience, when most devs leave because of the leader, they are usually in the right. but i didn't investigate it much.
I didn't know about this! I'll have to check it
Same here. It's daily updates that work perfectly and constantly improve UI/UX. Revanced is like a broken down Ford now who knows if it'll start or work.
Interesting - I'm still using ReVances without issue, but it sounds like I should look into switching to Morphe. Is this the right place to get it? https://morpheapp.net/morphe-youtube
Morphe it's were the better revanced coders ended up after abandoning it due to differences.
It's already better than revanced ever was.
I'm new to installing apps not through the Google Play store, I'm using F-Droid now since I understood it's a trusted and reviewed repository of OSS.
Do you know why Morphe isn't on F-droid? I feel heistant to simply download and install the .apk from their website.
Because it's a patcher the same as revanced, it's basically considered piracy to remove the ads. I don't think you will find any patches on F-Droid.
If you want to only use F-Droid apps there are many like NouTube but they won't be similar to the actual YouTube app.
I'll second Morphe. It's amazing.
Grayjay
I also use grayjay, but mainly for the available backends for multipe sources.
Besides yt I have my twitch subs there and the occasional bilibili and niconico channel.
No more hopping websites to watch the stuff I wanna watch. It's now all in one app.
i am using pipepipe right now and it works just fine. you probably need an update. if pipepipe is bugged, check the bug reports on the github. I'd bet someone has reported it already.
i have both pipepipe and newpipe installed, but I feel that pipepipe actually tends to be a bit better about actually fixing bugs (not related to youtube connection issues. things like UI issues, etc.)
if neither work well when updated, freetube has an android version you can always try.
Check out revanced!
I use revanced, very rarely have any issues with it. Looks and acts just like the official app, minus the ads plus the option for some other improvements like sponsorblock and re-enabling the dislike counter.
I've also been using Re-Vanced and NewPipe for a very long time, and seeing this comment section I wonder, why have they fallen out of (relative) popularity?
Not sure why development crapped out, but the Revanced guys are over working on Morphe now.
I'm surprised aswell. I thought it was pretty well-known, I certainly thought it would be recommended on lemmy of all places
Grayjay. I also use the desktop app.
pipepipe + newpipe, if they both fail then freetube for android
On phone either a browser with adblock or NewPipe.
On TV, SmartTube.
LibreTube works really well for me, I should finally set up my own piped instance though
I use Pipepipe to store subscriptions locally. Then when I see something I want to watch, I use ytdlp to save it on my phone to watch with vlc. Saving the video locally is so great and still has sponsorblock features.
I use grajay for the sync function, was unable to find anything else that could. I have it installed on mobile, PC, laptop and Steamdeck to keep the history and subscriptions synced.
Was using freetube prior to this setup with syncthing but it had problems.
