have you tried revanced manager? i typically just download revanced manager, pop over to apkmirror and get the recommended version (in this case 19.43.41), downloading the v8 package, going back into revanced manager and clicking storage, selecting the apk, and then letting it run. if you select the custom branding patch you donât have to uninstall the original youtube.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠agoNever got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a timeâŚ
Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, soâŚ

Yep. And if I hadnât, that would be the first advice the documentation would give me lol

Thatâs what I did, but it refused to patch. Tried every possible thing, but it just refused to work.
NewTube, on the other hand, worked perfectly immediately.

You sure you werenât downloading the APK bundle? Revanced canât patch those
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Yes, Iâm sure.

Did you make sure to turn on the âGmsCore Supportâ patch. (I think it used to be called âMicroG Supportâ.) You have to enable that patch on unrooted devices in order for the app to work.

I remember revanced stopped working and I ended up getting premium because it wouldnât work on iPad anyway.
Are there any alternatives now?

Well Iâve been using NewPipe until the above incident and now Iâm trying out a fork of it called PipePipe. On my tv, Iâm using SmartTube

I havenât had this issue with newpipe yet but maybe itâs because Iâm just watching video game facts and ROM hack videos for games Iâll never play.

Iâll just leave this here
