Freetube on desktop Linux hasn’t worked for me for a long time - but that doesn’t seem to be the case for most people. Any tips regarding settings? I’d say it’s been at least 3 or 4 months since I could reliably use it.
Thank you! I actually tried setting the invidious options yesterday before making that post, thinking I might need to use that instead of localapi. But as you have predicted, no dice.
not sure about the other guy, but for me it just doesn’t load videos. disabled invidious proxy once google murdered it, but it still refuses to load anything. maybe it’s time to purge data and reinstall
Edit: Disregard my original reply, updated today and now it works again lol!
It launches for me (and I am in a plasma-wayland session FWIW), and it loads the thumbnails for all videos with no problem. When I click a video as if to play it, it appears to load up the main page for that video complete with play button, but nothing at all happens when I click the play button. Along the way are various api errors from youtube, but I think some of those came in even when things were working for me.

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.
On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.
A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.
Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.
I believe Tubular is just descendent of “newpipe sponsorblock”. I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.
PipePipe has been pretty good ime
I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe
ugh no I’m good thanks

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn’t an automation for this, though

If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment.

Edit - works fine after updating today lol!

Basically I can get this far for any video:
Is it possible to sync freetube between phone and pc?
