I’ve been using Invidious and NewPipe to watch YouTube for a long time. I don’t use an account with either of these. However, I’m wanting to get recommendations based on what I watch and my subscriptions. LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works. When I try to watch videos it won’t play. YouTube Vanced is dead. Not sure if another viable solution exists.
Vanced is dead, but ReVanced isn’t.
And SmartTubeNext for Android TV
I use it myself, but somehow all the recommendations are just boring right now.
It mostly shows things that I’ve already watched, or things from months or even years ago.
Rarely new and trending stuff shows up.
Its just showing you youtube recommendations, I think
Yeah, I too think it’s due to YTs API.
LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works.
You just need to switch to another Piped instance in the settings. You need to click on the three dots, then select settings, go to ‘Instance’ and at the top you can hit ‘Choose…’ to change the Piped instance. I haven’t experienced any issues with
adminforge.de.kavin.rocksalso seems to work well.I was having the same issues and switching worked. Thanks for the tip!
I’ll give it another go with your suggestion
Grayjay. It’s still a bit buggy but exactly what you’re looking for.
Yeah, let’s see what the FUTO guys come up with. AFAIK they’re still struggling with licensing, getting an issue tracker running and quite some basic stuff. And I think YouTube won’t like what they’re doing. But I like that someone tries.

They have a lot of money for legal battles
Huh? But I use Libretube everyday.
Same…
OPs issue was just that the instance they selected wasn’t working
Newpipe x Sponsorblock
Vanced might be, but Revanced isn’t and let’s you do all the stuff you want.
