[YouTube] Fix for HTTP error 403 when starting videos: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1191
Fix crash in MediaSessionPlayerUi while destroying player #11261
Note that this does not fix 403 err...
It literally says "disable this only if you always use a VPN" below the button. If you use a VPN, there's no point in slowing down the thing by using a proxy.
I know it does but you said "That kills the point of LibreTube bruh." So if you can use a VPN, and there's no point to slowing it down....it doesn't sound like disabling it "kills the point" at all, like you first said.
Basically, your two messages contradict each other.
I mean i dont like ads so i use libretube but piped instances for me are too slow like maybe 80℅ of the time. I still try to enable proxy, and disable if vid doesnt load or too slow. I think newpipe also connects directly to YT, but i prefer libretub over newpipe because of design
Piped is much slower than regular YouTube and it's definitely a serious convenience hit but I guess that's what you pay for a free (as in beer and freedom) privacy improvement unfortunately.
hmm i dont know but since updating Preloading (under Player settings) to max limit (450s), videos are now more stable when using piped instances (adminforge.de). stable meaning no slow buffers/loading times. there are still some videos that doesnt load at all so i disable proxy if need to watch
