Whenever YouTube changes something, newpipe adapts to it within one or two days. Thanks to the devs!

- the problem is that they keep changing stuff... gosh.. And just for YouTube, YouTube music works fine on my client that hasn't been updated for months now

The NewPipe team deserve a Nobel Prize. It might look like an unimportant video player, but it's one of the last bastion of resistance against he Google monopoly and monoculture, the total invasion of advertisement in every corner of our lives, the privacy violation that always come with Google, and the general enshittification of the internet.

Thank goodness for NewPipe...

Sick! I love it

Now waiting for LibreTube

18
- Works fine for me

  It does but instances die too often

- In settings, you can disable proxy if you want direct connection to Youtube instead of using piped instances

  That kills the point of LibreTube bruh

After YT's AB testing, Youtube now sucks in the browser, even with some 4-5 Youtube-specific addons AND ublock origin.

Great, this outage made me try out Grayjay. It's ok I guess, I just like libretube and tubular more.

12
- LibreTube never works for me, it buffers so freaking much. Tried everything to fix it. Newpipe has always been the goat imho.

  Settings > Instance > Disable instance proxy.
  
  LibreTube is meant to be used with a YouTube piped (which is a different thing than NewPipe) instance, which proxies the video stream. It's very nice in theory, but in practice, the instances get blocked constantly. Disabling this option will make your device connect directly to YouTube (which leaks your ip address to YouTube) and make it work the same way NewPipe works

  Yeah, works great when it actually does work. But pretty much never works when it's supposed to. So I've been frequenting tubular more

Newpipe is great, if only it worked on unix instead of only on Google's shitty Linux fork.

- FreeTube

  Electron is yuck, and not ported to my preferred OS. Pipe-viewer (or youtube-viewer if you want to log in to youtube and use your own api key for some reason) is just as feature-complete with a fraction of the dependencies.

- You can use Waydroid to run Android apps on Linux.

  I'm an OpenBSD user, not a Linux user, and Waydroid isn't ported. find /usr/ports -type f -name DESCR -exec grep -li android {} + | awk -F/ '{printf "%s ", $5}' | sed 's/ $//'; echo gives me fdk-aac musikcube opencore-amr adb apktool jadx kf5 py-filebytes clearsans roboto-fonts chiaki libgdx libgdx kdeconnect-kde ntfs-3g selfoss, none of which seem to be an android emulator.
  
  Either way, using a youtube client through an android emulator seems silly, especially when there are native clients like minitube and pipe-viewer that work on any platform.

- Why not just use your browser?
  
  3
  
  I use qutebrowser, and even with userscripts and DNS blocking I can't for sure reliably block all of google's spyware and fingerprinting (and that's not even mentioning how bloated the default webclient is). Also google looks like it's pushing out server-side ads like twitch does, and using the browser client is playing in their ballpark.
  
  3
  
  As someone who's (re) vanced stopped working today, one thing about using my browser instead was the inability to switch to a different app or lock my screen without pausing.
  
  I fucking hate that shit. Made solely so they could sell it as a "bonus feature" for subscribing to their pay service.

- Android stuff runs on Dalvik, not native Unix.

Any idea when the update comes to f-droid?

10
- The quickest way is to add the Newpipe repo: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
  
  If you already installed Newpipe from the f-droid main repo, you may need to backup your data, uninstall and reinstall it. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-and-updates

  Works perfectly, thanks! Backing up wasn't necessary.

why is the open VPN logo the Avatar for this subcommunity Lemmy

- You mean the Open Source Initiative logo? https://opensource.org/

  open source never heard of it

The self updater wasn't identifying the new version, had to see it here and download directly from GitHub

- If you subscribe to their repo in FDroid updates you'll get automatic updates.
