Out of the box it can play audio in the background, and now that extensions are available you can block ads as well. You don't really need constantly updating 3rd party clients or questionable firewalls anymore if you just want usable youtube on a phone.

Might as well use a FOSS app like NewPipe x Sponsorblock.

Fdroid repo: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.polymorphicshade.newpipe

I haven't tried newpipe, is it missing any features compared to revanced? I love that I can disable the shorts player, play with my screen off, and the wide array of customization options

[–] TisI@reddthat.com 7 points 11 months ago

My main issue with new pipe is that when I scroll down to read the comments, the video disappeares. It's not fixed in place (don't know what that's called). Other than that, it's great overall!

As far as I know, you can't log in to your account with newpipe. I use revanced and have no issues

You will have to add your channels once. These can be backed up into a file and imported onto another device. Not super convenient but compared to how annoying the official app is I am OK with it.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

It won't track watch status across different platforms/devices though. Revanced is significantly easier to setup and use.

It has little to no bull shit and it can play with screen off. Age restricted videos are a problem.

If you hate the official app it's perfect for you. Literally just your curated feed and nothing else.

Age restricted videos are a problem

You can enable those in the settings under content > show age restricted content

[–] Littleborat@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

I don't mean the setting. It won't be able to play them anymore even if this is turned on.

Yes for all those things. Doesnt have youtube recommended or sign in, but you can export youtube subscriptions from your account. LibreTube is also great and i like it better (when my phone doesnt cause problems)

[–] lunazea@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

yes, I have used both and personally the libretube is better. although newpipe is also great

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Last time I tried Newpipe it wasn't all that great. Would be fine if you just hit up YouTube for random stuff, but didn't have any consideration for channels you subscribed to. I'm guessing it's gotten better?

[–] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

I find it reliable. I just use subscriptions feed.
