Honestly, Newpipe is perfect for me for the most part. I love it. About the only things I want from it are, in order from most to least,
-
The ability to mark multiple videos as watched! (So when I subscribe to a new channel I don’t have to individually mark as watched 50 separate video entries.)
-
The ability to read comment replies (to at least one level).
-
For Newpipe to stop displaying “Sorry something went wrong” on every. single. video. even though it doesn’t actually fail displaying the video or comments or related videos.
Either way, keep up the good work! <— Not sarcasm, FYI.
I moved to Libretube because newpipe crashes when I try to play a vid fullscreen on my phone running lineageOS. For some reason I have to first toggle picture in picture mode before going fullscreen, otherwise it crashes lol
Odd, I never had that problem on LOS. Good to know there is Libretube if I need an alternative — thanks!
There is an advanced setting in NewPipe that fixes it.
You may try LibreTube and see if it works for you.
I would like “live” tabs to show previous stream… sometimes search can find it by looking at a channel name, but not always

Excellent news! Now to wait for PolymorphicShade’s SponsorBlock fork to follow suit.
From my experience that takes too long so I prefer BraveNewPipe Link: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe
Oh hey, nice to see this fork expanded a lot since I last looked at it!

Is it possible to download playlists now?
The ability to download playlists is not introduced in this release. There is an open feature request for it that is tracked here: NewPipe#5482
In the meantime, you can use NewPipe in conjunction with Seal to download playlists.The way I currently do it is with yt_dlp on the PC. Would still be a nice feature
ohhhh, i can browse channel playlists, this is great!! the only feature i’ve been missing from this awesome app
So I’ve been wondering this for a while. Is there a way for Google to associate my usage of Newpipe or similar to my actual Google account? I hate all the ads, but don’t want to lose all of my Google account stuff. I’ve got a lot invested in it.
Not Google, but my Instagram account got banned for using Barinsta right before the app got killed.
But I guess I was logging in with my account there, so I suppose they did have the evidence to link it to me.
They absolutely can and will do that.
Based on what? Technically of course all the data points will exist in their system to make those determinations but weather or not they have anything in place or plan to any time soon.
People should find ways to degoogle however and if they are very paranoid about something like this best bet would be to export your subscriptions to a new dummy Gmail just for YouTube.
It’s not YouTube that’s the problem. I’ve got the same Gmail account since 2004, and don’t want to loose my Google photos. I’m getting the stuff together to self host them all, but am not there yet.

That too will be linked to your person. Google doesn’t care whether you’re using an account, whether your account has your clear name or what client you’re using. They will use every mean available to them to ID and profile you; that’s absolutely core to their multi-billion dollar business model.
How do you figure they would go about that?
Banning based of similar IP’s / subscriptions is an easy way to get someone false banned due to their 10 year old and force them to switch to Apple products and an AppleID for life.

They haven’t successfully banned the main accounts associated with those using Google drive for piracy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t know what banning you’re talking about. The topic I was talking about was user behaviour tracking.

I am not aware of a policy at Google to ban accounts for storing pirated files. I only know of a policy to restrict the ability to share files with copyrighted content which the user has no license to share but that’s an obvious necessity.
