Obtainium update error because of ___?

UserresU

When I try to update Libre tube,
(because it don't work anymore and there is an update which fdroid don't have)
Then the download is being made and then the error accurs.
I think it is because the app is installed by fdroid and graphene only accepts updates from fdroid for that app. Is that the right opinion?
If so or if not: what can I do to update Libretube or potential other apps from Obtainium? Is there something's in the settings i can do?
If I shouldn't use Obtainium for updates because of security reasons at all please tell me why. I thaught it is a great and safe option to update direct from the developer but maybe I'm wrong I don't know.

UserresU graphene only accepts updates from fdroid for that app. Is that the right opinion?

No. Signing keys are what matter when accepting updates. App source should not matter. The reason the error is occurring is because Fdroid (normally) signs apps with their own keys, so you can't update with a Github release that is signed by the developer's keys (or vice versa).

what can I do to update Libretube or potential other apps from Obtainium? Is there something's in the settings i can do?

You have to uninstall and reinstall from Obtainium.

If I shouldn't use Obtainium for updates because of security reasons at all please tell me why.

Its more secure than Fdroid as far as I'm aware.

I thaught it is a great and safe option to update direct from the developer but maybe I'm wrong I don't know.

Its currently the safest (non-GPlay) way of getting apps direct from the developer, until Accrescent matures more and gains more apps.

Dumdum do you think there is a way to keep the downloaded videos? libretube downloads the video and audio separate I don't know if there is a video player which can handle this with ease

What does the actual message say when you encounter the error?

As far as I'm aware, Libretube made the ridiculous decision to restrict downloads to in-app only. Maybe there's a way of extracting them that I'm not aware of. Its better to use a different app such as Newpipe if you want to download things (even if you prefer using Libretube to actually watch videos)

If you installed it via F-Droid, GrapheneOS likely won’t let you update from Obtainium. I had to uninstall the F-Droid version and then grab the latest directly from the developer's site. Just be careful with security when installing from other sources.

graphson do you know where to find the apk filehash to compare the downloaded apk hash?
I uninstalled the app now from fdroid and tried to reinstall it from obtainium. But it does not work again. Maybe its because of orbot but I don't think so

Dumdum you can find the video and audio from Libretube in the Folders on the phone somewhere. I found them so I'm pretty sure it would be possible to extract them. But there is no point when. There is no media player who can play the videos with seperared tracks. What I'll try now is to extract the files, and then when I deinstalled l/reinstalled the app I copy the files back to the now new download folders for video/audio. That should work.
As for now no YouTube frontend works on my graphene phone. It runs with orbit and I think that is the problem. On another device newpipe is the only frontend which works at the moment but only with plain internet, no VPN or TOR.
If you have any tipps for my how I could make the YouTube Front ends work again I'll be thankfull to read them.
