Google makes some breaking changes and a day later I can already use my favorite video player again
Thanks for posting this! I didn't know this community existed until just now, and your post reminded me to check their page to get the new version immediately. And of course, thank the devs so much for fixing it for us all so quickly!
Thank you, NewPipe Dev team!
Yes thank goodness for the NewPipe team. We need them to free us from Google's monopoly at least a little bit.
But I do have a suggestion: Grayjay appears to have some sort of plugin system with which they push workarounds for Google's Youtube shenanigans very quickly. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I imagine the main Grayjay app framework mostly remains the same, while whatever regular expression or filter needs changing because Google purposedly broke the previous one gets uploaded to everybody quickly and efficiently.
I would suggest the NewPipe team implement something like that too. They'd have a much easier time than having to recompile the whole thing each time Google plays with their balls.

I don't understand how using NewPipe could help breaking Google's monopoly since we are still consuming content from Google's server. using an alternative service like Peertube, Odysee could help us
Because you consume Google content but you don't give as much surveillance data to Google as you would with the official YouTube client spyware, you skip advertisement which denies Google revenue, you can do things like listen to music in the background which are only available for pay in the official client - again denying Google revenue...
And of course you give Google the finger. Spite is also a valid reason.
It's not much but it's something, and at this point anything that hurts Google delays the inevitable dystopia a little bit - and sadly I'm afraid it's a little too late to hope for much more now.
Thank you devs@ newpipe & this community! My kind of people!
God bless you!
Yeah their team is top notch.
