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
Pixel 8 Pro and GrapheneOS. Working for me at this very second.
ive got a pixel 7 with grapheneos, running pipepipe v5.1.1
Waterfox with uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock enabled
Newpipe at the moment
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.
I'll second Morphe. It's amazing.
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.
Firefox with ublock.
Grayjay
Firefox with ublock
Morphie (I don't use it)
I use BravePipe.
I'm using Pipepipe. The latest version works fine for me.
Same here. At most I just gotta restart my phone because of an IP block that goes away immediately afterwards.
i use an vpn and when i get an message that it wont load than i switch countrys 1or 2 times and close the app and then it works like a charm.
i fucking love this 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.
Grayjay. I also use the desktop app.
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
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?
LibreTube works really well for me, I should finally set up my own piped instance though
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

YouTube Morphe. It's the new revanced fork after they had some drama. IIRC most ReVanced devs are working on Morphe now.
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
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

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.
pipepipe + newpipe, if they both fail then freetube for android
On phone either a browser with adblock or NewPipe.
On TV, SmartTube.
PipePipe
