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 🌼

        Just in my personal experience, I use IronFox with Mullvad, which YouTube flags and throws the “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” error whereas NewPipe, for example, typically works (I believe they have a workaround similar to yt-dlp that leverages the Android VR API).

    I don’t watch YouTube on my phone anymore other than FireFox with uBlock. For me, it’s all a YT feed aggregated by RSS and played by MPV on Linux.

      I also use grayjay, but mainly for the available backends for multipe sources.

      Besides yt I have my twitch subs there and the occasional bilibili and niconico channel.

      No more hopping websites to watch the stuff I wanna watch. It’s now all in one app.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

        Because it’s a patcher the same as revanced, it’s basically considered piracy to remove the ads. I don’t think you will find any patches on F-Droid.

        If you want to only use F-Droid apps there are many like NouTube but they won’t be similar to the actual YouTube app.
