    I’ve been having a few problems with playback on ReVanced recently; it tends to buffer for a minute and the quality seems to be stuck on 480p. Any workarounds mentioned didn’t work for long.

    Desktop with uBlock has been fine though.

      Revanced is dying because OSumAtrix, the lead dev, is so toxic every other developer decided to hard fork revanced and make Morphe.

      What’s really sad is Osum is copying code religiously from Morphe, including typos. They also forget to change function names or comments to go from Morphe to Revanced. As a result, Morphe DMCA’d him for not complying with the attribution clause of their GPL license.

      It’s a whole mess but basically it’s one guy trying to replace dozens of contributors by copying code. He’s never going to sustain it like this, so just use Morphe honestly…

      It’s updated daily (sometimes multiple times a day) and it seems like they can’t stop adding new QoL features to the patcher. Their patches work great, I highly recommend it.

      You could try grayjay. Worked better for me than revanced but still had the occasional video not loading

        Grayjay is great, I’m using it all the time on desktop. It couldn’t replace YouTube on mobile for me though, I need MicroG integration

      Is there any reason to use ReVanced when you can browse YouTube on Android’s Firefox with uBlock Origin installed? It seems to work about the same but you can also run other extensions like DeArrow and Sponsor Block. It can even stream at 4k for some videos.

      Settings > Miscellaneous > Spoof video streams > Default client > VisionOS

      Also make sure to clear app cache from time to time

          I had this issue, it was super annoying. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the latest update and everything worked great again and has been doing so for well over a year. I went down that rabbit hole of trying to update the spoofing settings per fuckyouspez threads and none of those recommendations ever worked for me. Hope this helps!
