Revanced not working so well lately...

Check out Morphe which is a fork of revanced and better maintained https://github.com/morpheapp

I tried it twice... First it stopped with a file not found exemption in a temp folder...

The next time the app crashed.

I'll be honest morphe has been a total nightmare for me. It works 70% of the times. 30% of the times it rewinds mid video to a random timestamp. And will do that in a loop.

In my experience that has been the very worse app I used on Android for YT.

To be fair it's not really their fault if YT is constantly trying to disrupt their app.

Its working better than revanced for me.

I'll take a look next time revanced belly ups.

idk what issues you have, I have it running on 5 devices

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Youtube does a lot of A/B testing. Last time I ran it, I could use it on one device/account but not on another.

instead of fighting with it, I installed newpipe, pipepipe, grayjay and brave mobile. They all autoupdate. One of the 4 will always show youtube without ads. The first three don't randomly show me anything I don't ask for.

Mine started acting weird on wifi today, so I updated it. Getting a sponsorblock error 502, but working otherwise.

2.2.2 came out 12 hours ago, updating now to check it all again.

Here is the YouTube version I'm using.

[–] fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

2.2.2 is bugging out when compiling for me.

So I'm SoL.

Maybe I'll try CLI... If I get bored or Firefox stops working(w/ublock.)

Give it a few days, I got a popup saying there was an issue, they're working on it.
