It can be cross platform. On mobile and desktop
Why do we need a new Newpipe? There is also LibreTube already which imo is already better than NewPipe as it for example has sponserblock built-in (which NewPipe refused to add).
Tubular is Newpipe with Sponsorblock built in.
Libretube is not working since end of July, no instance
Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.
Yep ! No-ads, no-sponsor, no-shit.
You even don't need to self-host, just disable piped proxy, enable local extraction, use HLS and a good VPN.
Sure it's not as anonymous and sometime I need to disable my VPN, but that's only temporarily, until they find a new loophole in youtoube's api.
That's not piped nor invidious backend's fault, just YouTube doing his cat and mouse thing...
Eh I self-host and that works just fine, I haven't noticed any breakage.
Newpipe, too (if you're using protective like VPN or Tor). It's juste the end of private YouTube streaming for now, maybe we'll find something...
I still use YouTube with newpipe. You just need to findan VPN exit server where there's currently not a ton of users watching YouTube. It usually only takes about 3 tries for me in mullvad.
I'm running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.
not working with Mullvad anymore
Okay going to retry, but trough Tor I can prove that it's not working
None of the are available for both mobile and desktop
What's wrong with Newpipe?
IMO:
The Frontend is the Problem. I borderline don't even want to use it anymore.
Also it'd be nice if it somehow synced with my laptop
Maybe if there was at least one project (other than Grayjay, bc that takes quite a bit of storage) that runs well on less powerful devices and ties to add support for all services community requests.
Just look at those cases when ppl requested them to add Odysee and removed. (I do get the removed part of thing, but saying Odysee is bad feels like an insult to people who don't want to put videos on Youtube. As if yt contained only good and properly reviewed content, right?). And there's more denied requests like that. Saying things like it's full of propaganda, conspiracies and idk what else they can come up with.
And other forks just support one or 2 additional services. Kinda reason why I like Grayjay plugin system. Because if you want support for something, you can, even without Android Studio. It already contains more, but it's quite large.
Hm, didn't know about that. By the way, what is the word that is showing up as removed?
B i t c h u t e, it censored only the B * t c h part originally ikd why, so, ...
lol, that is so unnecessary.
Not the new. No replacement . Not best . People learn there should be always options.
OK but why the awful A.I. art? At this point, just put nothing.
Agreed, I like flutter, but that AI image just turns me away from this project so much
Not exactly a replacement because it uses the Piped API instead of parsing everything locally like in Newpipe.
True. I did make a feature request to have the Newpipe Extractor in the app
iOS !!! Yayyyy
Imagine a ios yt client but they prob dont exist due to how apple is strict with the appstore
how mqny youtubk ckients do we have now?
