yes :) but i should use newpipe
Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads
You can use a downloader like Seal and when you want to download a video just share it to Seal.
or use the external video downloader feature
I have reVanced but unfortunately I struggle with getting it to work consistently. Most commonly, the video will play for a minute or so and then buffer endlessly. My Internet research tells me the only way to fix it is to root my device, and I’m honestly not willing to go that far. Luckily I have adblock installed on my phone, so the official app is tolerable.
That happened to me about a week ago, I just reinstalled the recommended version in the manager and it works fine now
i have a wierd glitch where when I haven’t been on revanced for a good amount of time a endless buffer will come but i just press the back button and it’s gone
The other replier is right. I have the same issue every few months and all I have to do is download the recommended YouTube APK & reinstall revanced with the default patches.
Had this issue again 3 days ago and it fixed it. Just be sure you are patching the APK you downloaded and not the original YouTube app. That caused the patching to fail the first few times till I noticed.
I’d love a walkthrough on how to do that. To be honest, it’s been a while since I installed it and I’ve forgotten what I needed to do.
It might be that you need to update your APK.
It happens at times that Google changes something on the backend and you need to repack a new APK version.

Well a fast tutorial I can give is this.
-
Disable/remove updates for the default YouTube app
-
Download revanced from this site https://revanced.app/
-
Install revanced app and update anything necessary.
-
Download the recommended YouTube APK which is 18.23.35. Here is a link I used to get the APK. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-23-35-release/
-
Once that’s installed, go to the revanced app and go to the “patcher” menu.
-
Click “select an application” button and then click the “Storage” button you see on the bottom. Then find the youtube APK that you downloaded and click it.
-
You can now select the patches you’d want the app to have. You could just select “default” to have it patch the 52 or 57 things that most people care to change.
-
Now just click the patch button and it’ll hopefully not fail.
Hope that looks good formatted. I’m on my phone lol.
nah mabye I’d change the premium logo but not much
You should try and keep the sponsorblock patch added. You can just have it show a “skip” button on the sponsored ads in the videos and it’ll skip past it all. It’s a pretty useful thing to have. You get to also see the different marked spots on the scroll bar.
i meant from the default configuration from he one i downloaded via command line app

Yes, absolute game changer. Can’t live without it. Use various videos to go to sleep to at night and the last thing I need is for ads that the original content creator didn’t even ask for that are 5x as loud as the video I have playing.
Nope. I use NewPipe but I also have YouTube Premium if I ever need it.
I use YouTube premium but I use ReVanced to get rid of all the sponsors.
I know what a VPN is I don’t need to be told about it every time I’m trying to watch a video.
Yes the Revanced YouTube Music app
The fork of the original vanced that I used broke so I switched to revanced.
No I don’t watch videos on mobile
I’d love to continue using it but I’ve had issues with videos getting stuck in endless loading. So I have both revanced and the normal app installed
I’ve been having a similar problem the last couple days, can’t seem to find a solution yet however.
Patch more recent supported youtube client it will fix the issue.
Yes, I can’t live without it

I was a vanced migrant to newPipe when the former was cut off. Haven’t tried revanced since newPipe has seemed perfectly servicable for me.
Do you still have to do the whole export import of your subscriptions thing? Or do you just not use subscriptions? Can it sync playlists across devices?
I absolutely LOVE smartube next on android TV since it still works with my subscriptions and playlists. Too bad they don’t have a smartphone version.
Do you still have to do the whole export import of your subscriptions thing? Or do you just not use subscriptions? Can it sync playlists across devices?
Yup, still need to do export/import. Re syncing: you’d have to use an external syncing mechanism like syncthing or nextcloud and even then you’d need to export manually.
I don’t think NewPipe will ever get any syncing mechanism itself, it tries to be privacy first and doesn’t support any server side code, they rejected the SponsorBlock patch bc it leakes data to a server as well
Its a very cool app and enough for me, but some things just will not be possible
i have newpipe sponsorblock instead of the normal one
I have BraveNewPipe which has the sponsorblock patch too but allows me to follow Greenwalds system update on rumble
i didi’nt really do any research just found newpipe sponsorblock on f-droid from searching newpipe
Right they are now on fdroid I found out recently, pretty cool
I do. I tried newpipe but not being able to log into my account was a deal breaker. The only negative I have with revanced is that I can’t cast with it, although having Smart Tube on my Chromecast helps.
Interesting, I can cast with it just fine.
i never purposefully used the casting feature
