With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they’re doing, and Google already hellbent on destroying ad blockers, the days of Newpipe, Invidious, and Freetube are numbered. Wouldn’t be surprised if they implement Netflix level DRM tomorrow that makes alt clients impossible. I say savour your alt clients while you can guys, you won’t be able to soon.
And yet here I am using Revanced, which is even better than Vanced was
https://revanced.app/
Doesn’t work for a lot of accounts anymore. It plays one minute for me, first minute of a video and then dies.
New account works. Incognito works.
There’s a new patch for revanced which spoofs the client to fix this issue. Unfortunately it’s an optional patch that a lot of people miss, so they still have issues. I haven’t run into the “play a little bit then lock up” issue since the patch released
Had that issue, deleting and recompiling/installing the app fixed it. It’s some issue with spoofing the app signature. You shouldn’t need to uninstall microG or the revanced manager, just revanced itself
It’s annoying that you have to go through the effort of a reinstall, but that should fix it. Google isn’t blocking or doing anything to accounts, at least not yet
Fairly sure that’s a well-known issue. Not sure if it’s been fixed on new versions, but I think there are workarounds for it at least.
