I used to use PipePipe but I constantly have issues with it, and it entirely stopped working months ago, so I’m looking for an alternative.

I’m new to dbzer0, please forgive me if !piracy is not the right community for this topic, and kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. Thanks 🌼

    pipepipe, currently working great for me. There are times it doesn’t but that’s YouTube’s fault, not the fault of newpipe or pipepipe.

    Though I wish they would fix the bug where it can’t handle me moving from ipv6-only mobile network to ipv4-only home internet, I have to quit the app and relaunch it and resume the video for it to actually bother trying to resolve DNS again

      Out of curiosity, which phones are you using where PipePipe is working for you?

      I’m using Pixel 8 and I only get errors with PipePipe.

    Morphe it’s were the better revanced coders ended up after abandoning it due to differences.

    It’s already better than revanced ever was.

      I’m new to installing apps not through the Google Play store, I’m using F-Droid now since I understood it’s a trusted and reviewed repository of OSS.

      Do you know why Morphe isn’t on F-droid? I feel heistant to simply download and install the .apk from their website.

    VLC player

    I have a system involving multiple devices. I download the videos with yt-dlp on my computer, then send them to my phone for mobile watching.

    I use Pipepipe to store subscriptions locally. Then when I see something I want to watch, I use ytdlp to save it on my phone to watch with vlc. Saving the video locally is so great and still has sponsorblock features.

      Same here. At most I just gotta restart my phone because of an IP block that goes away immediately afterwards.

    i am using pipepipe right now and it works just fine. you probably need an update. if pipepipe is bugged, check the bug reports on the github. I’d bet someone has reported it already.

    i have both pipepipe and newpipe installed, but I feel that pipepipe actually tends to be a bit better about actually fixing bugs (not related to youtube connection issues. things like UI issues, etc.)

    if neither work well when updated, freetube has an android version you can always try.

      I use revanced, very rarely have any issues with it. Looks and acts just like the official app, minus the ads plus the option for some other improvements like sponsorblock and re-enabling the dislike counter.

      I’ve also been using Re-Vanced and NewPipe for a very long time, and seeing this comment section I wonder, why have they fallen out of (relative) popularity?
