yt-dlp or embedded youtube links say “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” but for me the whole plan of this operation is that i don’t have to do that.
that’s pretty bad
(edit: it works again, i changed nothing just waited)
I’m watching Freetube right now, still working. v0.23.3
Lately I’ve been using grayjay, going fine
Yep, found it about a year ago and never looked back. Its actually funded by futo which i think is owned by Yahoo. Hopefully it stays around for a while.
I get that when I’m usong a VPN. If I turn ot off, Tubular works agaim.
Grayjay…
Does grayjay let you block channels on youtube? I’ve been using freetube and pipepipe due to the ability to block channels.
I’m still learning the ins and outs of Grayjay, but apparently the answer is yes.
Next to each video, you get an Options button.
Under Actions, you get…
- Share
- Hide Creator from Home
- Hide
- Play Feed as Queue
It is a great feature for searches with how algorithm can flood results with bigger channels. Unfortunately app doesn’t have sponsorblock which has become a must for me.
I really want to like grayjay (love Louis and his philosophy), but the perma dark mode kills it for me. I don’t understand how some people enjoy that, it’s so depressing.
Huh, well how about that, you’re right, no option for that. Well, it doesn’t bother me anyways, maybe one day they’ll add the option. 🤷♂️
Don’t get me wrong, I have Grayjay installed, and it works flawlessly. Seems to work even better than Tubular which is what I use currently.
This is my only gripe (well, and the fact that it isn’t open source, but I can live with that), and I really want the project to succeed. I just can’t get past the perma dark mode, but I’ll stay on the lookout for when it releases a light mode, and I’ll start using it then because I really want the project to succeed.
It’s not open source in the full sense of open source, but the source code is available for download. You can do whatever you want with it, the only main catch is that you can’t distribute any modified versions.
I just tried Newpipe to double check, it works fine for me
“Allo, IT? Have you tried turning it off and on again?” ;)
yt-dlp -U ?
Switching around vpn server works. It helps if you use servers nobody else uses
I’m using an VPN and i get that daily. After switching Servers and rebboting the app it works
.
Their just mad they can’t track you as much. Switch VPN locations it takes sometimes many servers. Fuck them. Network issue.
If you’re using a VPN try connecting to a server in Albania, I’ve never had issues when connected from there for yt
Got this on newpipe for a bit earlier today (failure to load, not a demand to sign in), but it started working again a few hours later.
Haven’t checked today since I woke up and went to work. But the post is 14 hours old, which means when it was posted I was happily watching some Red Letter Media on Freetube last night. So working fine for me (then at least). Will check when I’m home.
Newpipe works for me, though im not using the release version. Edit2: nvrmind just had to wipe meta data cache and it works again.
Free tube has never worked for me so i just use Invidious
