I was so happy to find this post, and was saddened again to see that I didn't have this button available when I needed it hahahaha

PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in

There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators

Also relevant:

  • alternate frontends (e.g. Invidious and Piped)
  • yt-dlp🔗 (youtube downloader, can also be used to stream videos into players like mpv)

I always somehow miss when it stops working and by the time I go to YouTube again it's already working again.
