And I'm sure it's annoying you too. You can't view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.

Isn't there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.

I started using FreeTube on both desktop and android and never have to sign in anymore. I also get a lot of cool features that aren't available in YouTube.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Anybody know the difference between FreeTube, LibreTube, and NewPipe? Are there even more?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

These are all unique and different projects with their own codebases, devs and issues. If you want to learn more, try searching for their official git repos. If you want to see a quick list of YouTube related apps, with screenshots, feature lists, and links to the project pages then I suggest using F-Droid with the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo enabled, and just searching youtube.

For a bit more details on how yo do that check out my other comment https://lemmy.world/comment/15622037.

Ok. I wanna make this happen on Android. I am a complete dummy and the only thing I ever got off github had like step by step written instructions somewhere. What do I do?

Do I just download the freetube-0.23.2.13-Android.apk (latest release) from the releases site... Or do I need to build it first or something from the link you provided? Building it seems extremely daunting.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)

  1. F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)
  • Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)
  • enable the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repoin the Repository settings of the F-Droid client
  • install FreeTube Android
  1. Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)
  • Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo
  • go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the add to Obtainium button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release.
  • In Obtainium, click on Add App. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid/releases) as the value for App Source URL, then click the Add button next to it and you are set.

Interesting, I do use Freetube on laptop but it's been finicky about when it wants to work lately. I figured it was more of YT blocking bs.

I tried Newpipe for Android and it wouldn't work, so I went to the fork PipePipe which does work better, but at some point I had to login so it could use my API because YT blocked that too. Plus PipePipe can scan NicoNico videos and Bilibili videos.

How good is Freetube on android?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago

I love it and yes, sometimes youtube makes a breaking change that any dev needs to find a work around for.

I use freetube on both because I can manage subscriptions better on it, and export to newpipe or freetube desktop easily. Freetube also includes sponsor block which is great.

I also keep newpipe on my phone as a backup since sometimes it works when freetube doesn't. I auto-update freetube from fdriod but let obtainum auto-update newpipe straight from their git repo so I know I got a good chance if having at least one working app.

I haven't tried pipepipe, it's been a long time since I watched a billibilli vid. (BGM!!!)

This is the way.
