Vanced is dead, but ReVanced isn’t.
LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works.
You just need to switch to another Piped instance in the settings. You need to click on the three dots, then select settings, go to ‘Instance’ and at the top you can hit ‘Choose…’ to change the Piped instance. I haven’t experienced any issues with adminforge.de. kavin.rocks also seems to work well.
I'll give it another go with your suggestion
I was having the same issues and switching worked. Thanks for the tip!
I switched between instances constantly and they never worked. I don't know how you guys are using this.
I just disabled Piped API and never had a problem again.
kavin.rocks always works for me. I also run my own private instance on a VPS, so far it never got blocked.
Cool story
Grayjay. It's still a bit buggy but exactly what you're looking for.
Yeah, let's see what the FUTO guys come up with. AFAIK they're still struggling with licensing, getting an issue tracker running and quite some basic stuff. And I think YouTube won't like what they're doing. But I like that someone tries.
And I think YouTube won’t like what they’re doing.
They have a lot of money for legal battles
They're not struggling with anything. They opened a GitHub page for issue tracking and the license was figured out a long time ago.
Rly? Last time I checked most of their projects had a temporary license and Louis said they needed to figure out how to prevent something like with NewPipe from happening. Did they find a final license in the meantime?
Do they read the Github? All I see is people not understanding the source is somewhere else and saying xy isn't open source. And I don't see anyone from FUTO intervening or posting. It's mainly the community amongst themselves in the issues... Or did I miss something?
It's worth noting, of course, that those illicit forks of NewPipe also violate their license. If dishonest proprietary software developers don't care about NewPipe's license why would they care about FUTO's? If they really want to stop forks they can simply make their product source-unavailable, but then they don't get to claim to be "open source" or "open source adjacent."
The problem is not so much that the are forks (remember, in the free software world, forks are explicitly allowed) but that these forks use the branding of the original project and thus damage the original project's reputation. There is a tool for dealing with counterfeits - trademark - and it is a tool used by reputable free software organizations such as Mozilla and Debian. Now imagine if those free software projects adopted FUTO's hostility to forks - it would be a net loss to the free software community. Don't let organizations like FUTO sell you the idea that you don't need the freedom to fork.
Of course, even proprietary products can be counterfeited, and trademark helps stop those too.
Huh? But I use Libretube everyday.
Same...
OPs issue was just that the instance they selected wasn't working
Newpipe x Sponsorblock
Disable Piped API in LibreTube it will start working again.
Vanced might be, but Revanced isn't and let's you do all the stuff you want.
