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!
I don’t have any opinion on grayjay but this is the open source community and grayjay is proprietary. That’s the only reason I downvoted your comment
Feel free to use it if it works for you but I think it’s poor form to advertise proprietary products in a thread about a free software project.
Their source code is available online silly. You can recompile it however you want, you just can’t redistribute it.

Edit: They also now have an F-Droid repository.
@over_clox Which means it’s not open-source, silly, because open-source explicitly means you can redistribute it.
Oh bitch bitch. So what? Is your only interest in taking their code and trying to profit from it?
Fucking hell, folks told me it would never show up on F-Droid for such nitpicky terms, but they got their own repository now.
