Will I be able to sync between my phone and PC? Otherwise I'll just keep using FreeTube.

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 19 points 4 days ago

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there's not much reason to switch either way.

On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.

A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.

Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.

[-] hostops@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago

I believe Tubular is just descendent of "newpipe sponsorblock". I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.

I'm currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

Which additional platforms are supported? Bitchute Rumble

ugh no I'm good thanks

It's not that it has a lot more features but the flatpak is official and it's desktop native whereas this app is a third party that works through ATL so why bother switching.

It'd be great if these type of apps came up with a shared data format and allowed you to P2P sync with Syncthing.

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn't an automation for this, though

Freetube on desktop Linux hasn't worked for me for a long time - but that doesn't seem to be the case for most people. Any tips regarding settings? I'd say it's been at least 3 or 4 months since I could reliably use it.

If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don't work at the moment.

Thank you! I actually tried setting the invidious options yesterday before making that post, thinking I might need to use that instead of localapi. But as you have predicted, no dice.

Edit - works fine after updating today lol!

What doesn't work? Recently it stopped launching for me unless I launch it on Xwayland explicitly.

Edit: Disregard my original reply, updated today and now it works again lol!

It launches for me (and I am in a plasma-wayland session FWIW), and it loads the thumbnails for all videos with no problem. When I click a video as if to play it, it appears to load up the main page for that video complete with play button, but nothing at all happens when I click the play button. Along the way are various api errors from youtube, but I think some of those came in even when things were working for me.

Basically I can get this far for any video:
