Newpipe hasn’t worked on my Android for several days now. Has YouTube blocked the app, or did an update break it?
It broke on ver. 0.27.0; it should be fixed on ver. 0.27.1.
Should be working again? Tubular at least already had an update and I’m pretty sure that would’ve come from NewPipe mainline.
It’s not working for me. I just uninstalled and reinstalled, but no luck. PipePipe works, but it keeps pestering me to enable notifications, so I uninstalled it.
I was using a combination of pipe pipe / freetube. Grayjay has a better interface (imo) and feels way more stable.
TL;DR from their(newpipe’s) reddit:
Youtube did an update that added an additonal parameter to the calls, allegedly as an anti-bot tactic.
Because of how it worked, it broke all of the various frontends, but Invidious based access still worked.
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.
