NewPipe was failing me today, so I reverted back to the YouTube app. After the first ad (20 seconds), the app gave me a permanent blur.

    Maybe blur is just another benefit of cable-stayed bridges

    source
    • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No, cable stayed bridges would never betray me like that.

    My friend consider: PipePipe.

      Can I port my subscription list from newpipe to pipeline?

      source
      • Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        And settings as well. Yes.

      • refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes. PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe.

      Pipepipe is great! Works really good so far.

    Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.

      The fact that you knew the channel based on the subtitles is incredible 😂

      • TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        To be fair the topic is very specific. There are not that many big channels that talk about engeneering, esspecially bridge engeneering. At least not that I know of.

      Plus the money actually goes directly to the creators you watch.

    • bleistift2@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      If you’re considering Nebula, I’d, personally, go for the lifetime subscription. It’s the better deal after 5 years.

      source
      • SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        10 years in my case. I’m grandfathered into a 30$ sub

        source
      • Anivia@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Better deal after 5 years, if they still exist and honor the lifetime subscription by the time 5 years have passed

    if you want an app, revanced is good. it has the same UI of the normal YouTube app (minus whatever you don’t want, like ads or shorts or news etc, it’s one of the most customizable ones I’ve seen) and besides adblocking has sponsorblock and return dislike and stuff built in (optional ofc) you can still use new pipe for downloads when you press the in-app download button and I like that feature a lot.

    my other suggestion is Firefox + ublock origin. can never go wrong with the classics haha

      If on ios, Unwatched is my holy grail

        Here here. Just do a quick search on how to use it. Basically, download a YouTube APK on a browser and patch it in the app. That’s it.

    Practical Engineering?

    • don@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yup!

      source
  • parpol@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Grayjay still works fine.

    source
    • DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Needs android TV app

      source
  • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Try Revanced manager. Or Tubular. Or FreeTube. Or Grayjay… There are so many. Even for android tv. There is YouTube next

    source
    • chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      FreeTube is currently broken, maybe for the same reason OP is having problems, YouTube changed something on their end. Although supposedly the fix is coming through shortly.

      source
      • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s correct, that’s why it wasn’t the only one I mentioned. Grayjay is so damn reliable. Louis Rossmann is crazy and got grayjay on the freaking Google play store. Lmao

      Ublock*

  • marius@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You could also simply use firefox

    source
  • bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    On iOS, I use the website 9! Safari with 1blocker to block the ads. Works well.

    source
  • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I think YouTube was having issues. Try using NewPIpe again.

    source
    • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s not working yet, but Firefox with ad block is

      source
      • possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s odd since it works for me

        Are you using the Newpipe F-droid repo?

      I have NewPipe, PipePipe, Tubular (newpipe + sponsorblock) and Grayjay all installed. If one fails, i check the others, and if they all fail, i check /c/newpipe

    Have you tried changing your DNS to one of these:

    • 194.242.2.4#base.dns.mullvad.net
    • 76.76.2.2#https://freedns.controld.com/p2

    I had to look around for it, but newpipe po-token version is still working for me. It uses some different method of fetching the video, but with the same interface.

    source
  • rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I keep a copy of one of each of the methods on my phone. Grayjay, new pipe Brave, Firefox+UB and a revanced copy of YouTube.
