My libretube isn't working.
Enable "Use HLS" in settings
This. It has been broken without this option for a couple weeks now.
Was it just a couple weeks? I thought it's been at least a month. Btw viMusic got some issues at the same time too
The issue was opened 14 days ago on github Here.
Thanks. It got fixed. Why does this happen?
YouTube side changes
Newpipe
Newpipe is not the same. LibreTube has a built it proxy to prevent leaking your IP. Newpipe doesn't have that afaik
Yeah but Newpipe works.
Enable HLS and LibreTube will work fine.
Just use your own proxy, you can use that for everything
Well yes but in that case VPN is better and good VPNs are paid or really hard to set up (compared to just downloading an app) so yea
It's not so hard, you just run it in your own VPS, open the ports and go
I use a proxy and route all of the packets except DNS through it using iptables
YouTube Revanced is working.
why not write an email to google then. don't make solutions popular
As if google doesn't know already, grow up.
Keep farming your ego then. have fun.
Yin and yang.
Google is aware of it and blocked it last time so telling people about it isn't anything new.
