I have an old Samsung Galaxy (2016) with Android 7.1 and all the recent Youtube ReVanced apps require Android 8+. The latest version you can use on Android 6+ is 17.36.37
My problem is videos stop loading after like a minute of playing, it gets stuck infinitely. I tried installing Vanced, which doesnt load videos at all anymore. Older versions of ReVanced, doesnt work. Other apps like NewPipe, but i dont like that they dont allow you to log-in to Google account. Also i heard that Youtube flags certain accounts like that, so you have to make a new one, but i dont want to abandon my 10 year old acc and build up my recommended page from scratch.
Is there anyone with old Androids? What is the solution here?
Have you considered upgrading to Android 10 with LOS?
You run Android 6?

I use this on my smt-700 which runs android 6. Never had any problems with it.
lol that sounds like an existing old-YouTube bug that ReVanced also suffered of a while ago.
You’d wanna use an up-to-date version, but that’s hard on such an old android version
I’d suggest - even tho it isn’t 1:1 the same - that you export your subscriptions from Google and import them either into LibreTube (closer to the official YT app) or NewPipe.
Because LibreTube uses the (awesome) Piped Project to load videos and info, you can also sync data using it and your favourite piped instance. (piped.video, piped.smnz.de, piped.adminforge.de are personal recommendations)
Playback stopping after a minute isn’t an Android version problem.
This setting in revanced extended fixes it.
Don’t know if it is available in revanced. Check settings - revanced - miscellaneous , scroll to the bottom.
If not try switching to rvextended
tried that, tried different versions of spoof player, including the “16.08 that solves the issue for most people”, but no results
