These are quite significant improvements. I'll still stick to LibreTube though because proxy

[-] Deckweiss@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

FreeTube is my darling on Desktop

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

It doesn't hide your IP so I'd recommend using something piped-based if you need that level of privacy

[-] Deckweiss@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I already have a VPN

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Oh ok then

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

LibreTube's proxy system has been broken for a month.

[-] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

If you check their GitHub, there is an open issue and a very simple fix - enable "Use HLS" in settings. It's as simple as that

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago

Appreciate it. Thank you

[-] simple@lemm.ee 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh sweet. I thought Newpipe stopped development to work on a rewrite, or am I misremembering? Either way, nice to see comments working again.

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 8 points 6 months ago

Possibly that's only about changes to the UI, and this is to the extractor. Afaik newpipe's extractor is used by other projects too, like piped

[-] AlyxMS@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

Thanks for the post. Comments hasn't been loading for like months. Just updated and it's fixed.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

Why on earth would you want YouTube comments. That's the best thing about this, switching them off.

Jokes aside, happy for you that something you are using is working again.

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 11 points 6 months ago

Sometimes they're useful. I was watching a tier list of swimming caps and the comments happened to ask decent questions and the author was answering them politely.

[-] Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

Watching something that is useful. Like tutorials on working on cars, PCs etc...

Not all of YouTube is garbage. Some of us like to learn things

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 13 points 6 months ago

I prefer Tubular for reliability+sponsorblock, or LibreTube for Material UI.

[-] Amaterasu@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Same. Libretube is the first that I check, sometimes doesn't work then I go to Tubular.

[-] flyhunter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

There is also PipePipe

[-] misc@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

+1 as i use it and its actually updated in fdroid main repo.

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 1 points 6 months ago

Is it updated faster than BraveNewPipe?

Cuz BraveNewPipe has sponsorblock and return YT dislike built-in.

[-] flyhunter@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

First time hearing of bravenewpipe so I don't know. You can check the git commits and releases though.

[-] Tick_Dracy@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Same. Tubular is awesome

[-] misc@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 6 months ago

Are they going to update it in the main f droid repo now ? Otherwise whatever .

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

Are you aware of Obtainium

[-] misc@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago

Yes but i'm not interested as fdroid has many features that i like for ex: conforming the builds, inclusion policy, stopping updates if something is changed, removing proprietary builds etc obtainium is just a tool to make getting apps from git or anywhere else easy and not at all as safe ir useful as fdroid for me .

[-] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

This is actually pretty based and reasonable, even though the trust issue is not solved but shifted. Take my upvote kind sir.

[-] misc@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thank you here take mine .

Edit : Hey i just rememebered that fdroid now lets devs also check the files they upload are the same that are pushed by the dev so the trust issue is kinda solved as now the dev and fdroid has to be corrupt instead of one and this is the maximum safety we can attain unless we read and built from the source of every app we use which no one do .

Does anyone know of an active fork with sponsorblock?

[-] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 months ago

Tubular

[-] I_Miss_Daniel@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Can't seem to find this on f-droid or DDG.

[-] Maganra@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Add this repo to your fdroid client: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo

Excellent, thanks!

[-] chayleaf@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

PipePipe

[-] Kumikommunism@hexbear.net 1 points 6 months ago

If you're primarily downloading videos, there's a much better open-source app for that called tydlnis, here: https://ytdlnis.com

If you're using it to just browse, there probably is, but I can't help you there.

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 7 points 6 months ago

Anyone here know how to disable shorts? I could've sworn there was an option to disable it previously, but I can't find it any more.

[-] LIE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 months ago

Hide the 'Shorts' channel tab:
Settings > Content > Channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'

Hide shorts in feed/subscriptions:
Settings > Content > Fetch channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 3 points 6 months ago

Thanks! I did that, but it doesn't get seem to get rid of them from "trending".

[-] LIE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago

I see. I don't believe there's currently any way to filter kiosk content by type like that. You could open a feature request for it on GitHub if you'd like (assuming one doesn't already exist).
