Alternative YT forks?

@tal@lemmy.today · edit-2 3M

I use NewPipe when I’m on mobile, assuming that you’re talking about YouTube client software.

I’ve used a few different Android apps and I always end up going back to NewPipe.

Newpipe “just works” I love it.

When it works at least.

I’ve found that when google breaks it, the app is only non-functional for a very short time compared to others. I love this app so much.

I use tubular, a fork of newpipe with sponsorblock

Is it working normally for you? Today the videos just stopped loading properly for me and now it just shows an error no matter how many times I retry to play a video.

Edit: Downloaded the new version on their website and now it works 👍

Got updated about 12 hours ago. I was watching shit last night then it broke when I woke up I had the update. Those people are machines.

Yeah, YouTube broke something. They just updated it to fix it.

They have their own F-Droid repo that I think gets pushed to faster than the main F-Droid one, so if you’re willing to use it, that’s working now.

If the updated version isn’t in the main F-Droid repo as well, I assume that it will be before too long.

I use PipePipe instead, you can sign in with your account so you don’t get the sign in error
