Solve vulnerability in settings import and switch to JSON
Various download fixes

These are quite significant improvements. I'll still stick to LibreTube though because proxy
FreeTube is my darling on Desktop
LibreTube's proxy system has been broken for a month.
Oh sweet. I thought Newpipe stopped development to work on a rewrite, or am I misremembering? Either way, nice to see comments working again.
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
Thanks for the post. Comments hasn't been loading for like months. Just updated and it's fixed.
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.
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.
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
I prefer Tubular for reliability+sponsorblock, or LibreTube for Material UI.
Same. Libretube is the first that I check, sometimes doesn't work then I go to Tubular.
There is also PipePipe
+1 as i use it and its actually updated in fdroid main repo.
Is it updated faster than BraveNewPipe?
Cuz BraveNewPipe has sponsorblock and return YT dislike built-in.
Same. Tubular is awesome
Are they going to update it in the main f droid repo now ? Otherwise whatever .
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 .
Out on Fdroid now and working
No it isn't .
Does anyone know of an active fork with sponsorblock?
Tubular
Can't seem to find this on f-droid or DDG.
Excellent, thanks!
PipePipe
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.
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.
