Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won’t play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I’ve submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn’t see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds.
Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!
YouTube changed something about their API to break 3rd party apps again. youtube-dl is also broken, but they’ve found the issue already, so it’ll likely be fixed after a while.
GrayJay and YouTube ReVanced still work in meantime.
I’ve switched to FreeTube for now, it still works using the Invidious API. This is happening because YouTube is testing forced login to watch videos or use the API. There is a workaround it seems, but we’ll have to wait for all the major clients to roll it out.
I am tired of big company bullshit. I don’t care anymore. YouTube was the only big brother service which I can’t replace but now I don’t give a single fuck.(They IP blocked me on their official site)
Yup, same here. Youtube broke something so you’ll have to wait for an update. Grayjay is still working for me if you need another app to see videos.
Where else should I publish videos as well as youtube?
