I wanted to use it back in the day, but most instances didn't load. Even less often then regular Piped for me. I'd imagine that this wouldn't be particularly improved now that YouTube's doing their whole "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" spiel
You can also just disable the Piped proxy in the settings, effectively making it function like NewPipe
I'll be sure to check out those instances then!
I've had issues with instances in the past too, but there's now a percentage next to each one displaying its uptime which I've found useful for stability.
I don't think I realized f droid didn't need a rooted phone. Thanks for this comment!
It just tells me to sign in to confirm I'm not a bot
Edit: changing instances fixed this
You can also disable the Piped proxy at Settings -> Instance -> Disable Piped proxy
Oh, does it still skip ads and stuff?
Yeah, as far as I'm aware, it just runs a copy of the NewPipeExtractor locally, that's the same stuff that's used in the Piped backend.
God damn, just use LibreTube. It has a sleep timer, as well as many other advantages: No ads, no tracking, it uses the Piped API so you don't have to connect to Google servers, and it's fully open source and available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.libretube/
They're also on Mastodon and they even have a Lemmy community: !libretube@feddit.rocks

It works pretty well for me. I don't have any problems on piped.video, piped.adminforge.de and piped.ngn.tf
