Now waiting for LibreTube
In settings, you can disable proxy if you want direct connection to Youtube instead of using piped instances
The sole point of LibreTube is to use piped proxies? Odd, you figure they wouldn’t include an option to make their entire app pointless.
I mean i dont like ads so i use libretube but piped instances for me are too slow like maybe 80℅ of the time. I still try to enable proxy, and disable if vid doesnt load or too slow. I think newpipe also connects directly to YT, but i prefer libretub over newpipe because of design
why is the open VPN logo the Avatar for this subcommunity Lemmy
You mean the Open Source Initiative logo? https://opensource.org/
The self updater wasn’t identifying the new version, had to see it here and download directly from GitHub
Great, this outage made me try out Grayjay. It’s ok I guess, I just like libretube and tubular more.
LibreTube never works for me, it buffers so freaking much. Tried everything to fix it. Newpipe has always been the goat imho.
Settings > Instance > Disable instance proxy.
LibreTube is meant to be used with a YouTube piped (which is a different thing than NewPipe) instance, which proxies the video stream. It’s very nice in theory, but in practice, the instances get blocked constantly. Disabling this option will make your device connect directly to YouTube (which leaks your ip address to YouTube) and make it work the same way NewPipe works
The NewPipe team deserve a Nobel Prize. It might look like an unimportant video player, but it’s one of the last bastion of resistance against he Google monopoly and monoculture, the total invasion of advertisement in every corner of our lives, the privacy violation that always come with Google, and the general enshittification of the internet.
Thank goodness for NewPipe…
