Youtube Alternative (Newpipe giving errors)

ZenIsFluffy

Yep, started having this issue on LibreTube and Tubular. Looking at their GitHub issues, it seems to be a common issue. YouTube must have changed some things on the back end.

I use often Freetube when Newpipe have issue , he have android version now and he is great.

Novalissoide

Tekipa Is Freetube a male app?

Novalissoide Newpipe and some others has stopped working since 1-2 days

I've noticed this. Can't fix the issue. Tried different VPN servers, tapping the video multiple times, and clearing the cache. NewPipe's down on all 3 6a's in the house. Wonder what's wrong. Never lasted this long.

Novalissoide but Pipepipe is working which is a bit unexpected since it is a Newpipe-fork

Just tried PipePipe, its a no go for me also. :(

Not the F-droid main.
Make sure you go for Izzy, or Github recent version which lists a bugfix.

https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe/releases

Version 4.7.8
InfinityLoop1309.NewPipeEnhanced
versionCode 109104

And then don't forget to do all that allowance through vpn that's needed for Newpipe again for Pipepipe. Do not utilize the 'logged in'-option in Pp.

Pipepipe is explicitly about fixing bugs before newpipe does

Grayjay is also available for Linux, Windows, and macOS—which is kind of nice if you want to synchronize your watchlists and search histories.

I personally go with PipePipe. It always worked flawlessly, i prefer its design to Grayjay's and have no need for syncing.

Novalissoide ah nice! I'll download the GitHub APK today. Thanks for the tip! 😉

Honestly, I just use ironfox with ublock origin and video background fix. No ads, all the videos and background playback, what more?

23Sha-ger

NewPipe is crap. Personal opinion, but without SponsorBlock, it just isn't worth the effort.
PipePipe all the way.

Why not tubular?

Here's the error NewPipe is throwing on all my 6a's. I've changed my VPN location repeatedly.
https://drive.proton.me/urls/1EFM51DRB4#KmsKYsNzi-WW

The latest version of PipePipe downloaded from GitHub is also throwing the Content Unavailable error too. :-/ I'm not sure if its something wrong on my end or if Google's just screwing us up with open source apps - I wouldn't be surprised. 😑😔

Novalissoide

nandohyphen1 latest version of PipePipe

That, and Newpipe version 0.28.2 works without trouble for me. And I've never got that error like your snapshotted one, I'll look into it. 🤔

jarvis_own

nandohyphen1 Got the same error but not exact same as yours because i was not using vpn. And it is necessary to use VPN. With newpipe and pipepipe.
And slowly it's being solwed (errors)

nandohyphen1

Novalissoide yeah, I've never gotten that error either, which is why I'm intrigued. I didn't find anything useful in the logs (from what I could see).
