I used to use PipePipe but I constantly have issues with it, and it entirely stopped working months ago, so I’m looking for an alternative.
I’m new to dbzer0, please forgive me if !piracy is not the right community for this topic, and kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. Thanks 🌼
I use firefox with ublock origin. Its not as good as an app, but it works for me.
This is what I do too. Get SponsorBlock. It’s fantastic
IMO browser is superior. What do you feel is better in an app?
Just in my personal experience, I use IronFox with Mullvad, which YouTube flags and throws the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error whereas NewPipe, for example, typically works (I believe they have a workaround similar to yt-dlp that leverages the Android VR API).
I think mullvad might be the cause of that
I’m not gp but I also prefer the app for several reason, like being able to cast to the smart tube TV app which is also ad free and has sponsorblock, and for small UX things like certain gestures, like I can pull down on a video to go to theater mode whereas in the browser it refreshes the video page, and I like that the transitions between views don’t have a brief white screen but has a seamless transition that expands a videos thumbnail into the video view.
Otherwise the UI of ReVanced is basically identical, but both are ad free and have sponsorblock / return dislike but ReVanced feels smoother to use and there’s lots of customizable ReVanced settings in the app for tweaking things like haptics, downloads, hiding and showing various components like endcards, info cards, quick actions and related videos, shorts, etc.
Here’s a sample of all the options it has: https://imgur.com/a/gRdd5K0
YouTube Morphe. It’s the new revanced fork after they had some drama. IIRC most ReVanced devs are working on Morphe now.
Ah interesting, what was the drama? Might have to jump ship
i don’t really know honestly. some personal disagreements between the leader and other developers.
from my experience, when most devs leave because of the leader, they are usually in the right. but i didn’t investigate it much.
Oh damn I’m still on revanced, imma check this out
Same here. It’s daily updates that work perfectly and constantly improve UI/UX. Revanced is like a broken down Ford now who knows if it’ll start or work.
Interesting - I’m still using ReVances without issue, but it sounds like I should look into switching to Morphe. Is this the right place to get it? https://morpheapp.net/morphe-youtube
According to the github repo, the website is actually https://morphe.software/
I didn’t know about this! I’ll have to check it
NewPipe on my phone, SmartTube on my TV
Just downloaded it and it works, thanks!
I just read up a bit and realized that PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe. In other words: NewPipe is the original 🤯
PipePipe’s GitHub page says
Making a hard fork allows us to effectively address issues with quick fixes and maintain frequent feature updates
It’s ironic that PipePipe was forked to adress quick fixes, and not it appears to not work at all (for me) while the original NewPipe does work.
Do you update it regularly?
Newpipe at the moment
honestly just firefox with sponsorblock and ublock.
or vivaldi if you add the easylist blocker source.
pipepipe, currently working great for me. There are times it doesn’t but that’s YouTube’s fault, not the fault of newpipe or pipepipe.
Though I wish they would fix the bug where it can’t handle me moving from ipv6-only mobile network to ipv4-only home internet, I have to quit the app and relaunch it and resume the video for it to actually bother trying to resolve DNS again
same here, i actually switched to pipepipe because tubular has been having issues for a couple weeks.
Out of curiosity, which phones are you using where PipePipe is working for you?
I’m using Pixel 8 and I only get errors with PipePipe.
hello! i use a Oneplus 8T. I’m watching Josh Strife Hayes as we speak! no errors.
i wonder why that could be. have you searched for the error you’re having in the issues section of the github? see if anyone is having the same errors?
ive got a pixel 7 with grapheneos, running pipepipe v5.1.1
Pixel 8 Pro and GrapheneOS. Working for me at this very second.
On phone either a browser with adblock or NewPipe.
On TV, SmartTube.
I use NouTube, installed it trough F-Droid, works well, no ads.
Firefox with ublock.
VLC player
I have a system involving multiple devices. I download the videos with yt-dlp on my computer, then send them to my phone for mobile watching.
Waterfox with uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock enabled
I use PipePipe, and it works for me. Have you kept it updated? Do you have F-Droid? Youtube apps need to stay up to date because of frequent API changes
Newpipe, very happy with it!
ReVanced and grayjay
