Are they going to update it in the main f droid repo now ? Otherwise whatever .
Out on Fdroid now and working
No it isn't .
Refresh your repos, I literally just downloaded and installed it
I did refresh . Also repos ? I was talkin about tge official fdroid repo .
Oops my apologies, lol I checked and I must have installed the upstream NewPipe repo so long ago that I forgot that I even had it in my sources list. Literally my only repo other than Fdroid main.
No reason not to use it, though, it's the official NewPipe repo:
Are you aware of Obtainium
Yes but i'm not interested as fdroid has many features that i like for ex: conforming the builds, inclusion policy, stopping updates if something is changed, removing proprietary builds etc obtainium is just a tool to make getting apps from git or anywhere else easy and not at all as safe ir useful as fdroid for me .
This is actually pretty based and reasonable, even though the trust issue is not solved but shifted. Take my upvote kind sir.
Thank you here take mine .
Edit : Hey i just rememebered that fdroid now lets devs also check the files they upload are the same that are pushed by the dev so the trust issue is kinda solved as now the dev and fdroid has to be corrupt instead of one and this is the maximum safety we can attain unless we read and built from the source of every app we use which no one do .
Thanks for the post. Comments hasn't been loading for like months. Just updated and it's fixed.
Why on earth would you want YouTube comments. That's the best thing about this, switching them off.
Jokes aside, happy for you that something you are using is working again.
Watching something that is useful. Like tutorials on working on cars, PCs etc...
Not all of YouTube is garbage. Some of us like to learn things
Sometimes they're useful. I was watching a tier list of swimming caps and the comments happened to ask decent questions and the author was answering them politely.
I prefer Tubular for reliability+sponsorblock, or LibreTube for Material UI.
Same. Tubular is awesome
There is also PipePipe
Is it updated faster than BraveNewPipe?
Cuz BraveNewPipe has sponsorblock and return YT dislike built-in.
First time hearing of bravenewpipe so I don't know. You can check the git commits and releases though.
+1 as i use it and its actually updated in fdroid main repo.
Same. Libretube is the first that I check, sometimes doesn't work then I go to Tubular.
Is it still alive? I switched to LibreTube and happy with it.
Does anyone know of an active fork with sponsorblock?
PipePipe
If you're primarily downloading videos, there's a much better open-source app for that called tydlnis, here: https://ytdlnis.com
If you're using it to just browse, there probably is, but I can't help you there.
Tubular
Can't seem to find this on f-droid or DDG.
PipePipe is on fdroid
Link to the repo:
https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular
Thank you for this. I appreciate your effort.
It's on the IzzyOnDroid repo, which you can access with Droid-ify, which is a fork of f-droid that uses their repos as well.
I can use the IzzyOnDroid repo with the regular F-Droid app, am I missing out on or doing anything wrong?
No, I didn't know that because I learned about them at the same time.
No.
Need a fork of an app that replaces a Google app to get a fork of an app that replaces another Google app.
Turns out I was wrong. :/
Add this repo to your fdroid client: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo
Excellent, thanks!
