I used to use PipePipe but I constantly have issues with it, and it entirely stopped working months ago, so I’m looking for an alternative.
I’m new to dbzer0, please forgive me if !piracy is not the right community for this topic, and kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. Thanks 🌼
I use PipePipe, and it works for me. Have you kept it updated? Do you have F-Droid? Youtube apps need to stay up to date because of frequent API changes
Do you update it regularly?
honestly just firefox with sponsorblock and ublock.
or vivaldi if you add the easylist blocker source.
Newpipe at the moment
Waterfox with uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock enabled
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.
ive got a pixel 7 with grapheneos, running pipepipe v5.1.1
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.
Android 14 on a Nokia XR 21.
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.
It’s not on f-droid because it’s not fully foss. It still has google’s propritry binary
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.
Tubular! NewPipe fork with SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike built in. Tubular on F-Droid
I use BravePipe.
VLC player
I have a system involving multiple devices. I download the videos with yt-dlp on my computer, then send them to my phone for mobile watching.
I’m curious, what’s your setup?
I use RSSHub to generate feeds for my subscriptions, then use this trick on Thunderbird to open video links directly with yt-dlp.
I use LocalSend to move the videos (and other files) to VLC.
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
IMO browser is superior. What do you feel is better in an app?
Just in my personal experience, I use IronFox with Mullvad, which YouTube flags and throws the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error whereas NewPipe, for example, typically works (I believe they have a workaround similar to yt-dlp that leverages the Android VR API).
I think mullvad might be the cause of that
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
I didn’t know about this! I’ll have to check it
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
According to the github repo, the website is actually https://morphe.software/
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.
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.
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.
Grayjay is nice
pipepipe + newpipe, if they both fail then freetube for android
NewPipe on my phone, SmartTube on my TV
Just downloaded it and it works, thanks!
I just read up a bit and realized that PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe. In other words: NewPipe is the original 🤯
PipePipe’s GitHub page says
Making a hard fork allows us to effectively address issues with quick fixes and maintain frequent feature updates
It’s ironic that PipePipe was forked to adress quick fixes, and not it appears to not work at all (for me) while the original NewPipe does work.
