I tried ReVanced but kept getting ads anyway, especially banner ads and ads in shorts so I went and bought Premium Family for me and my friends. Then I realised I needed SponsorBlock so now I have YouTube Premium + ReVanced (with the block ads patch disabled)

I am sure that the ReVanced group have probably fixed the issue and ads are properly blocked now but its so cheap in my country (especially Premium Family) that I don't even think about it

Firefox nightly has all the usual extentions (ublock, sponsor block, and yt enhanced) so these days I just use that (with NP for downloads)

No, i only use Newpipe Sponsorblock

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes the Revanced YouTube Music app

Si ce we are on topic, is there a way to have DeArrow on mobile? (potentially I could install it on FF, but would prefer an app for YT).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use LibreTube.

I wish, but Iโ€™m too afraid of rooting my Iphone. Iโ€™ve been used to the ios ui for so long but Iโ€™m switching to anything not apple as soon as this one dies. Iโ€™m sick of everything apple.

off topic: what lemmy apps you used to use and are using currently

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ReVanced extended through Revancify

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes.

Also xManager, a similar tool for Spotify. I'd use revanced for YTmusic, but most people seem to use Spotify and it's nice to be able to share playlists with friends.

I'd love to continue using it but I've had issues with videos getting stuck in endless loading. So I have both revanced and the normal app installed

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been having a similar problem the last couple days, can't seem to find a solution yet however.

I have reVanced but unfortunately I struggle with getting it to work consistently. Most commonly, the video will play for a minute or so and then buffer endlessly. My Internet research tells me the only way to fix it is to root my device, and I'm honestly not willing to go that far. Luckily I have adblock installed on my phone, so the official app is tolerable.

It might be that you need to update your APK.

It happens at times that Google changes something on the backend and you need to repack a new APK version.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i have a wierd glitch where when I haven't been on revanced for a good amount of time a endless buffer will come but i just press the back button and it's gone

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The other replier is right. I have the same issue every few months and all I have to do is download the recommended YouTube APK & reinstall revanced with the default patches.

Had this issue again 3 days ago and it fixed it. Just be sure you are patching the APK you downloaded and not the original YouTube app. That caused the patching to fail the first few times till I noticed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'd love a walkthrough on how to do that. To be honest, it's been a while since I installed it and I've forgotten what I needed to do.
