NewPipe 0.26

Hail NewPipe! “Background” playback is just awesome and only downloads the audio stream. Use it all the time for listening to lectures and presentations as podcasts.

Newpipe is one of the best app I have on my phone. Congrats to the dev

i use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polymorphicshade&#x2F;NewPipe">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polymorphicshade&#x2F;NewPipe</a> which is super amazing. sadly the PR to implement sponsorblock in the main newpipe was worked on for almost a year but unfortunately the youtube-dl fiasco happened around the same time and that spooked the devs who refused to import the PR.<p>That forced the PR author to set up the fork which is working surprisingly well. People were imagining that the fork would not survive but i have been using it since day 1 and can&#x27;t imagine newpipe or libretube without sponsorblock.

Also, checkout NewPipe with built in SponsorBlock functionality: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polymorphicshade&#x2F;NewPipe">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polymorphicshade&#x2F;NewPipe</a>

NewPipe is one of the best apps available on Android. The only thing missing for me currently is Android Auto support.

NewPipe is overwhelmingly my most used app. It&#x27;s simply amazing.

I remember there being talks of a complete rewrite of Newpipe. Did anything come of that? I&#x27;m a happy user, so I don&#x27;t really have an opinion on whether it should happen or not.

Newpipe has always unreliable and prone to not working for me, unfortunately. Crashes. Youtube import gives just 4 subscriptions while I have hundreds and so on.

So glad this finally adds support for the &quot;Live&quot; tab on channels!

I&#x27;ve recently started using [Grayjay](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grayjay.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grayjay.app&#x2F;</a>). It&#x27;s not open source, but it is source available and individuals are allowed to modify the code to their liking. I&#x27;ve found that it crashes more often than NewPipe, but the vastly expanded features, more frequent updates, and improved performance fetching subscriptions are all worth it imo.

I miss having an android phone for easy file system nav and NewPipe. I hate having to pay YT just for background playback

Is anyone happy of newpipe on android tv ?<p>On my freebox mini 4k (french ISP box) experience does not improve over time, but I&#x27;ll give a try on latest.

I use NewPipe regularly but unfortunately many videos play.. .weird, either skipping frames or pausing for a few milliseconds and then going faster. I have a Pixel 6a so it&#x27;s as stock Android as you can get without using an AOSP based ROM...<p>OTOH on the desktop Freetube is basically 10 times better than original Youtube under every aspect, and videos play perfectly. Kudos to Freetube.

Only use NewPipe for SoundCloud. Quite stable for that. For YouTube it&#x27;s a waste of time, IMHO. Constantly breaking, IME. Command line utilties for interacting with YouTube I wrote for myself are much more stable and almost never break. (Maybe once every few years. And fixed the same day by me.)
