I hope this project gets more contributors to help make it as good or better than Newpipe. Written in Dart using Flutter can allow it to be compiled for Android, iOS and desktop
Not exactly a replacement because it uses the Piped API instead of parsing everything locally like in Newpipe.
True. I did make a feature request to have the Newpipe Extractor in the app
OK but why the awful A.I. art? At this point, just put nothing.
Agreed, I like flutter, but that AI image just turns me away from this project so much

how mqny youtubk ckients do we have now?
What’s wrong with Newpipe?
IMO:
The Frontend is the Problem. I borderline don’t even want to use it anymore.
Also it’d be nice if it somehow synced with my laptop
Now new. No replacement . Not best . People learn there should be always options.
What would make it better than NewPipe?
It can be cross platform. On mobile and desktop
Why do we need a new Newpipe? There is also LibreTube already which imo is already better than NewPipe as it for example has sponserblock built-in (which NewPipe refused to add).
None of the are available for both mobile and desktop
Tubular is Newpipe with Sponsorblock built in.
Libretube is not working since end of July, no instance
Eh I self-host and that works just fine, I haven’t noticed any breakage.
Newpipe, too (if you’re using protective like VPN or Tor). It’s juste the end of private YouTube streaming for now, maybe we’ll find something…
I still use YouTube with newpipe. You just need to findan VPN exit server where there’s currently not a ton of users watching YouTube. It usually only takes about 3 tries for me in mullvad.
I’m running Newpipe through Proton VPN, working as of today.
not working with Mullvad anymore
Okay going to retry, but trough Tor I can prove that it’s not working
Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.
Yep ! No-ads, no-sponsor, no-shit.
You even don’t need to self-host, just disable piped proxy, enable local extraction, use HLS and a good VPN.
Sure it’s not as anonymous and sometime I need to disable my VPN, but that’s only temporarily, until they find a new loophole in youtoube’s api.
That’s not piped nor invidious backend’s fault, just YouTube doing his cat and mouse thing…
iOS !!! Yayyyy
Why would I use this over Vanced?
Also do you know of any YouTube client that allows me to group subscriptions? Having all my subscriptions in 1 giant feed is pretty useless since I’m usually looking for a specific type of video. I haven’t found any client yet that allows subscription groups, which seems crazy.
Cross platform

Well, newpipe has channel groups for quite a while now.
Revanced and newpipe fill different roles while covering a lot of the same functionality. Revanced is still the YouTube app … Just modified.
There’s a lot of ppl that don’t want the actual yt app for everything that it is. Also this being Lemmy there’s a lot of users looking for open source alternatives for all apps.
Alright this inspired me to actually look into new pipe, which I hadn’t used before. Turns out I’m an idiot because it has exactly this feature.
