Can someone list the youtube alternatives and maybe even link them if youre feeling super generous?

Ive been using newpipe but it crashes constantly. Im on android with no access to a computer.

Edit:

MYD, also known as M3 (Material 3) stands for Material You Design introduced in Android 12

MYD? Have you just invented an acronym because a search reveals zero relevant answers as to what it could possibly mean.

Using acronyms, especially obscure ones only serves to exclude people.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. When OP asked for NewPipe alternatives, I assumed they were an Android user, where is Material design very popular.

MYD stands for "Material You Design". Somewhere you can also see M3 (Material 3).

This is the latest Material Design version introduced in Android 12.

My guess is something android related since all of those links to android apps.

Absolutely agree with you about acronym usage in a common forum, it's aggravating.

Mind Your Dirigible, the dirigible in this case being your personal data. He's saying you should use a VPN or other precautions when using those apps.

I'm so tempted to now question what VPN stands for 😆. Although I suspect more people would recognise the acronym than the full name

Yep, it's basically a sorting software that makes sure your IP is always sorted under the "somewhere else" tag, so the government can't see where you are, or more accurately when you are.

To anticipate the next questions, IP stands for Iambic Pentameter, which is obviously self-explanatory.

do any of those work well on smartTVs newpipe crashes after 1:10 so i switched to https://github.com/Jeeaaasus/youtube-dl and just grab my subscriptions and watch them in beloved kodi.

https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext is the only app you'll need on a TV. It's designed for it and fully syncs with your original youtube account.

tried it. maybe i dont know how, but in newpipe i can sub channels without a login. smartube cant do that,right? i do not have accounts with google,apple or crooks alike. how would i sub to channels then in smartube?

Thank you. Had tried kodi plugin for YT and had a terrible experience. Pretty much stuck to using YT only on mobile or browser for so long thinking removing ads on TV wasn't possible. Now can enjoy some good videos without 3 unskippable ads nearly after every video.

Did I miss something? What's wrong with revanced? It's what I use and I like it...

Is there a way to have video links in lemmy open in revanced instead of YT on my phone?

On android; Settings > apps and notifications > default apps > on the bottom is "opening links"

From there check the settings for YouTube and YouTube revanced and change as needed...

I don't know if that helps but that's what I would try.

Follow the other comment or, open the 'App Info' of default YT app (by holding dorn on the app icon). Goto 'open by default'. In 'Open supported links' choose 'Dont allow app to open links'. For Revanced follow above and set it to 'Allow app topen supported links'. The supported links should already be availablefior revanced.

Or you can set 'Ask everytime' for both and chose when opening an URL.

Found this the easiest way to change it and it worked. This is going to make a decent difference to my daily quality of life.

Wasn't it discontinued?

That's Vanced. ReVanced is a new thing where you take the official YouTube APK(or some other apps)and patch it yourself. They have an app that does the hard work for you. You just have to find an APK for the right version of YouTube via APK Mirror or similar.

try to download the latest update of new pipe

Invidious.us and piped are browser based options. Use your browser of choice to create a web app on mobile.

I see a lot of people mentioning Libretube, the only deal breaker is I can't login but love that it's open source and minimal than ReVanced. is there a way to login to my g account on Libretube?

You can get a ReVanced APK, as condemnable as it seems, from... I think there was a RevancedAPKs reddit community.... yeah ew.

I personally use Libretube.

it's better to patch it yourself not a rocket science though.

I always have issues playing videos on both newpipe and libretube dont know why. Pipepipe works well for me, it's a fork of newpipe.
