I’ve heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.
GrayJay just came out into the testing phase. It not only supportsYouTubee but also Nebula, Odysee, Twitch, PeerTube and a few others with more to come. Works great so far. grayjay.app. Built by Futo, a nonprofit company which Louis Rossmann works for. His video here
Looks like a good option, unfortunately it would not run for me on an Android emulator in Windows. (LDPlayer 5)
If you’re on Windows 10 or 11 just install it natively with WSA. You might have to look up a tutorial. I’ve yet to have a compatibility issue
Whoa, I thought that was only for Win 11. Cool, thanks!

Just want to add to your yatte this source/instance this gives you a lot of instances to start with so you don’t need to add them manually.

I use freetube on linux, newpipe on android.
Check out LibreTube on Android!
Invidious
Freetube, Individious, Piped, CloudTube, PokeTube, Tubo, Yattee are the main ones I know of. If you want be automatically redirected to alternative youtube frontends installed Lib Redirect.
NewPipe SponsorBlock
Best overall SmartTube for Android TV and NewPipe with SponsorBlock for Android.
Thanks, been looking for something for TV!
Or LibreTube for Android.
You’ll find a lot of answers in this thread: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/6385210
(I used Piped (https://piped.video) with LibreTube (https://libretube.dev/))
GrayJay just launched and it’s fucking fantastic.
It combines YouTube and Twitch into one platform in a really intuitive way. Has its own comment system and rating system for videos. No ads obviously. It’s a whole fucking thing and it’s incredible.
Except you have to give one app credentials for all of your platforms. It’s also 335MB!?
It’s the universal build. Download for your architecture (arm64) which is 127 mb
Credentials? What are you talking about? There is not sign in or signup required for the app at all.
Time to upgrade if your phone can’t handle 350MB lol
Time to upgrade your SSD because the new call of duty is 175GB lol.
What a fucking mindset you have on you there 💀
I get what you’re trying to say but 350 MB is close to nothing in 2023.
What are you talking about, it’s about 110 songs with a good enconder, that’s like 8~10 albums.

Have you looked at the size of most apps recently? 350mb is slightly on the big side, but nothing crazy.
I’m not saying it in relative terms, but in absolute terms. 350 MB is lots of space that can be useful, it’s certainly not “close to nothing”.
Like, I fear to imagine how much shipping fic would I have to publish annually in order to fill 350 MB in my lifetime…
FreeTube https://freetubeapp.io/
I’m self-hosting Piped and couldn’t be happier. Clean, distraction free and, importantly, private. No data mining. Importing your subscriptions from a Google Takeout dump is simple.
LibreTube for Android is my mobile client, and talks to my Piped server without any issues. The only thing missing at this stage is a client for my Chromecast GTVs. For those, I still watch YouTube with SmartTubeNext, which means keeping two sets of subscriptions in sync. A little frustrating, but relatively painless, for the privacy benefits.
SmartTube is excellent on our NVidia Shield. Not sure what other platforms it works on.
Seconding SmartTube on android TV. No ads, can automatically skip all sorts of content in videos (spoken ads, self-promotion, introduction segments, etc. etc. etc.) I dread the day it stops working.
Been using revanced for a while - had no idea there were this many alternatives. I like revanced though, especially with stube on Google tv.
I came across this website thanks to someone sharing it here, so I thought I’d do the same: https://fmhy.pages.dev/storage/#youtube-frontends
Newpipe for Android. Hands down the best iv used.
