The GrunklerWhat's Newpipe's best competition?
For YouTube frontends: On the Linux desktop, there is FreeTube, on IOS there is yattee (IIRC), then there are web based front ends from invideous.
Louis Rossman mentioned the other day that they are in the process of creating an app that will allow you to follow your chosen creators across multiple services, so that you can continue even if their primary platform removes them.
If you’re looking for YouTube alternatives, check out Peertube, Odyssey, and Nebula (I haven’t looked at Peertube or Odyssey in a while, so I can’t comment on how they are doing).
Netto HikariLibreTube. Uses Piped as backend and has pretty much all the features that NewPipe has, including SponsorBlock.
You can create an account on one of the numerous Piped instances and log in with LibreTube, to have things synced. Since Piped is open source, you can even selfhost it, if you know how. My Lemmy instance (FOSSware) also has a Piped instance.
L3ft_F13ld!I’m trying to add your instance to the LibreTube app. It’s asking for a URL to instance API. Where can I find this?
api.y.donttrackme.fossware.space
Thank you. Got it set up now
Wonderful!
do I understand correctly that this is not a YouTube frontend, but an app for a federated alternative? (is Piped different from Peertube?)
For anyone else wondering: This is an alternative YouTube frontend, nothing federated.
You can’t log in with Google, you can log in with your Piped account.
Content is scraped from YouTube’s site the same way NewPipe does jt.
Cevilia (they/she/…)Just gonna throw github.com/gilbsgilbs/NewPipeSponsorBlock into the discussion - which is NewPipe, with extra features.
UKFilmNerdI was quite happy with Newpipe, and I don’t know if it’s been fixed since as I went back to ReVamced, it couldn’t play 1080p 60fps videos on my tablet where as YouTube had no problems.
There is no competition, we’re all friends 🤗
