NEWPIPE 0.8.9 IS OUT. FREE YOURSELF FROM THE YOUTUBE BOTNET NOW

How do you install this?

Yes, i am autism

>youtube frontend
>had a "can't play video" error

lmao retarded. But hey you called the other thing a botnet, that will definitely make me switch :^)

>>58820326
>https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.8.9
install gentoo and compile it

>>58820337
It's not like I care if you use this program. I don't use it myself. But your reasoning is stupid.

You simply won't use a software if it at one point had a bug that prevented you from using it temporarily?

What kind of magical OS/browser must you then be using to be shitposting here?

>>58820326
Install F-Droid if you haven't already, download from there

>>58820326
Search for "f-droid", either install the fdroid app or just search for newpipe on the site. If you install the app you'll have to first refresh repositories and then search.
After you've downloaded newpipe just install it the way you would any app.

>>58820394
Had fdroid

My repos are just shit ;__;

What are good fdroid repos anyway?

Skytube is better desu

>>58820628
>can't download
>can't play age restricted content
It really isn't. It's only good if you actually care about comments or subscriptions.

Can I like videos, manage subscriptions, and have playlist?

>>58820698
Playlists are coming soon, there's actually a fork of it which has playlist support. The other 2 things are irrelevant to adults.

>>58820209
Account sign in, or at the very least account-less subscriptions, when?

It's the only thing keeping me on microG. Once newpipe has this feature I can go pure AOSP.

>no subscription
Wow its fucking nothing
Completely useless, stop shilling

>>58820209
Thanks! Been wondering why it stopped working this week. Updating now.

>no DASH

If youtube-dl can do it why can't newpipe?

>>58820717
Skytube has this. Ffs
>I need to download videos or convert them to mp3
NewPipe
>I want youtube to be social media, so I need subscriptions and to view comments
SkyTube
>I want both
Wait for someone to merge them if it hasn't happened already.
>I also want to like/dislike
This requires logging in, which is against these two project's goals. You don't belong in this thread.

Is this too difficult to understand?

>>58820757
Not everyone needs subscriptions. Over half of my friends, including me, don't subscribe or like videos.

I'm both gay and female and I don't even have a youtube/google account.

>I'm using windows phone

>>58820209
For all the niggers that want subscriptions, use youtube's rss function.
Export your subscriptions as a OPML file, than use a RSS browser like flym from fdroid and set the open in browser button to NewPipe.

Haha sure it's such a bad thing that my phone doesn't slow down over time and that it doesn't get it's battery drained by the botnet Play Store and mother Alphabet

>defending lack of comments

Sometimes they're good, like if you watch a lecture or a talk and someone pipes up in the comments clarifying something that wasn't clear.

I agree though, that newpipe is on the whole better, though the dev is slower to fix issues so skytube is good to have in case. I'm using both until one properly establishes itself as the best.

Is it still limited to 720p playback?
If it's the case I won't bother with it.
Some of us have smartphones that have displays with more than 1080p display and unlimited LTE data plans.

>slow down over time

>battery drain
My phone loses exactly 0% battery overnight (around 7h), I don't understand what your point is. You also have the option to disable or uninstall gapps and you can use yalp store instead of gplay.

>>58820209
FREE YOURSELF FROM THIS LIFE NOW
When are you going to stop shilling this shitty app. There is literally no reason to use it

>>58820209
Ill give it 2 weeks before it's "broken" again.

>>58821818
>slow down over time

>battery drain
>I don't understand what your point is.
Android in general has the worst battery life next to iOS
>You also have the option to disable or uninstall gapps and you can use yalp store instead of gplay.
What's the point of using a non google app store to avoid the botnet, if the botnet is embedded already

>>58822408
I don't give a shit about botnet, yalp is much lighter than gapps and doesn't waste battery. That's it's point.
Any device will have shit battery life if you bloat it with apps. Android has great battery saving options unless you use 4.4.4 or lower versions.

>>58822012
>There is literally no reason to use it

>>58822569
This.

Ads, no integrated download or download as mp3 option, uses more bandwidth and resources.
>inb4 I need muh social media
Use Firefox. Literally the best mobile browser anyway, and you get all it's addons.

How do I compile this and get the apk?
I've been waiting for them to push out the new update on fdroid, but it's taking a while for them to do so.

There's nothing illegal on Youtube in the first place. Plus, the recommendations are a really good feature for finding content. I didn't know about Jontron until I saw it on the sidebar.

>>58823277
Newpipe has recommendations too.
They currently don't have playlist support, but there is a pull request on GitHub for it.
Not sure if there are any plans to incorporate subscriptions though.

>>58823419
it's because anything above 720p30 is only available as separate streams, which complicates things a little
while i can't speak for the devs, if it was me, i'd focus on more important things before worrying about handling >720p30

you know this is for phones, right?

>>58823542

And?
My phones is 1080x1920p

>>58823603
so is mine

Would be nice to have an app to youtube-dl and Tor on android.
If Stallman uses youtube-dl with Tor then so can I

Test

>>58823915
Did it work?

>>58823603
My phone is 1440x2560 and I'm fine with a 720p limit.
Obviously I would prefer if it supported all resolutions, but I only use YouTube for quick short videos or background playback. I don't use it for most of my media consumptions, and neither should you.
If YouTube is the source of all or most of your media consumptions, then you are either too young to be here or should be on reddit instead.

desu I just want to listen to asmr videos without having the light from my screen.

once 0.8.9 comes out on fdroid I'll hop back on it and see if everything works well, like it did before the background bug.

>>58823217
>>58824153
It's already out, refresh your repository or use the website. To compile in future
>install java (development)
>install android studio
>download newpipe source
>open project, compile project
It's possible to do this without installing android studio, but it still requires you to download android SDK.

>>58823603
So is mine. It's irrelevant, really. 720p is fine, you have SkyTube for 1080p.

>>58823905
There is tor for android. Orbot app and orfox browser.

>>58824181
Oh, I didn't realize my repos were out of date. Thanks for the reminder.

OGYouTube is infinitely better though + download button and other features.

I'm not going to trust youtube javascript in orfox but I had a look at termux and found tor, torsocks, and youtube-dl. Then I'll use some video player. I think I'll use them but it would be nice to have it in a nice app. Thanks anyway

AdAway, NetGuard, etc plus he's not forcing nor obligating you nor users to fork over a few shekels to remove ads, I have four months of YouTube Red for free so I have nothing to bitch over unlike you over mere ads and plus you can download the videos and watch through MS Player anyway.

Background play still isnt working properly on my g4 play. Audio keeps going silent while the file keeps playing but i only hear it every 4 seconds. Fix when?

I still love newpipe though. Its awesome

How many of you watch videos with newpipe built in player?
i always use vlc for audio only and mxplayer for video

>>58827450
Dude. Why the fuck should I use multiple apps just to get the same shit the official app offers.

Convenience is key and as long as the botnet provides that I'm fine with it.

NewPipe seems great for background playback and downloading so I'm gonna keep it for that but no app comes close to the official one in terms of usability and comfyness.

>no subs

So you like going to 20+ channels manually several times per day?

>B-but I don't follow anyone or care about the rest of the functionality, only normies do that

You're such a casual youtube user that your opinion on yt apps doesn't matter AT ALL. Just like someone who only drinks boxed rose wine doesnt matter at a wine tasting.

>>58827538
I use MPV for video. I've stopped using newpipe's built-in player because it goes blank if you lock your screen and then unlock it. It still plays the audio, but doesn't output video. It's not a big deal but happened to me twice and I decided to change the setting. Maybe it's fixed now, I always keep another video player as default since 4 releases ago.

>>58827539
>why would I do the thing that I'm doing anyway
Not everyone needs or wants subscriptions or comments. The last time I was logged in while watching youtube was over 6 years ago and I've only made 2 comments in my life. I literally just search for one video a week tops, unless I want to download a few songs quickly. Just accept that not everyone is a youtube enthusiast.

Does NewPipe support 1080p video, or maybe even 1440p yet? Last time I checked the best it could do was 720p.

>>58827865
It doesn't. I don't understand why they don't just copy the code from skytube or a similar app to access higher resolutions. The only confirmed incoming update are playlists which isn't that exciting imo.

>>58827865
720p video is fine for my 1080p screen.

>>58827539
>Dude. Why the fuck should I use multiple apps just to get the same shit the official app offers.

The official app doesnt offer what these apps offer, dumbfuck.

>My phone is 1440x2560 and I'm fine with a 720p limit.
cheezus, is it a tablet-sized phone, or the infamous retina-display? youre not even seeing the damn pixels, gladly with 2560*1440 its an integer upscale from 720, no resampling, no cpu hassle, retinadisplays must be great for text and UI elements, but i would like to do a blind test to see if i could notice a difference in films (as long as no worse compression artifacts are added by recoding for the test)
