Newpipe hasn’t worked on my Android for several days now. Has YouTube blocked the app, or did an update break it?
I really recommend Revanced or Revanced Extended instead.
As it uses the normal YouTube client but patched.
Just information for anyone who’s interested, use whatever works for you
They’ve decided to step up the arms race because they’ve hit peak daily user count and the only thing they can promise to the board is force increasing premium memberships. I take it channel “memberships” are also not hitting the numbers they would like and they haven’t destroyed Nebula or Patreon as they’d hoped.
It’s working great again.
I reinstalled a few times the first couple days, but I must have done it just before the fix came out two days ago.
You can export your history and then import it after the reinstall.
Yes, and it has been fixed. Update to 0.27.1 at least
For those that don’t know, you can download the latest APK directly. It takes a while for new versions to make it to repositories and this lets you get it as soon as it’s ready.
Edit: someone pointed out that NewPipe hosts their own F-droid repository, so you can add that to F-droid to get faster updates more conveniently.
I’ve been waiting for the 0.27.1 update on F-Droid and there has been nothing so far.
Did not know you had to add the New Pipe repo.
I’ve had this problem too but the latest upgrade just fixed it. And yeah, I think it was Google’s doing and it’s not the first time, it’s a constant arm’s race between them and Newpipe programmers. And Ublock programmers. And Invidious and Piped programmers etc…
It’s not showing an update. Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for the reply.
I did that yesterday, didn’t fix it. I was able to got the update from Newpipe directly today but my Boo had it three days ago, he said he got it from GitHub? No idea how to do that but maybe worth a looksy.
Try the developers fdroid repo, not the official droid repo. The updates take longer to get to the official repo
