I’ve been meaning to revisit flare and internet archive
Your content is great and I am glad you are here
👀👀
They're blocking access, removing features and then increasing their addictiveness with recommending their bottom brainstem videos, and this doesn't even touch upon the precariousness that their content creators feel trying to dodge the censors. Getting shittier moment by moment.
There were some changes recently, newpipe stopped working for a while (fixed by now)
Still quite some problems with newpipe for me, Grayjay is quite nice when you remove the recommended tab 🤭
Newest Version of Newpipe 0.27.2 is working fine. The version on F-Droid is 0.27.1 and stopped working for me. Can get it
NewPipe
NewPipe - a free YouTube client
or from Github.
it happened with Facebook. It has become so bad that people who were addicted to it don't even notice they forgot to install the Facebook app on the new phone and when they login because their friends tell them they messaged them through it, they find hundreds of unread messages.
Really? Mine works fine again. Btw, it allows downloading too 😅
Can you use obs and do screen or window capture?
I’ve got plenty of ways to do screen capture without trouble (OBS is a good option), but that’s just WAY slower than downloading with the link and dropping the audio or video into the timeline for editing, or just making a super fast clip based on the subtitle file (which I can auto generate with Ai and then search through). Without that everything becomes manual again and only works at the speed of watching it. Still sucks in a huge way
Do either of these work for downloading with the link on desktop?
Appreciate that but I wanted one local on my machine rather than a website based. I’ll keep this handy though as a backup if I don’t find a local replacement. 🙏🏻
For that, i'd use yt-dl, which i think is a dependency for newpipe
True. I guess with OBS it has to be real time. That would suck.
oh I see, sry. It wasn't clear that you were asking for an app rather than a conversion site.
What editor do you use?
If youre talking about newpipe, in my experience they eventually find away around breaking changes.
The Internet is dead.
All hail the Internet!
Do it like in den 90'⚡!
Yeah no worries. Obvious first assumption since I didn’t specify. Do appreciate the link too, haven’t used that one.
JDownloader ftw 💪
Nah it was a tool called Jdownloader. Really useful app that would pull video even from the overwhelming majority of sites that would try to prevent people from doing so. Hoping they get an update with a fix, but I suspect there might be direct API or access being granted to the bigger name services that actually pay for it potentially. This would be why sites that offer it are still around, because they get users with ads when they go to the service.
Davinci Studio for video
Logic Pro for audio
Secondaries are CapCut, Descript, OcenAudio, Fission, Final Cut Pro, and After Effects if I really can’t find another way to do it (Adobe and I have issues)
This is the one that just stopped for me. *Today*
Update your software and chill.
invidious works for me
YouTube downloader?
Wondershare’s Uniconverter seems to recently have separated out its download functionality to a new product called AllMyTube.
https://www.wondershare.com/pro/allmytube-video-downloader.html. It works flawlessly when packaged with Uniconverter (which I still use).
Except … Wondershare and I have issues (lifetime license scandal).
What was your go-to?
AnyVideoConverter?
Fiat world has been noticeably worse the past few years and growing in the wrong direction.
So noticeable in fact that the average person is feeling it.
this has been expected and warned about for years. And it’s going to get much worse.
"Enshittification"
Late stage fiat. We're fixing this 🫡
YouTube should,be the alternative. Alternatives should be the primary channel like Rumble or something else. Only when people have been censored by Google do they perhaps consider an alternative.
Invidious for YT, which is what I do through many frontends (FreeTube for desktop, Yattee for iOS, NewPipe for Android, etc.). Odysee is what I also use as a mirror for if my YT went down.
I use newpipe client on android, can download videos or just the audio at the resolution / kbps of choice. Newpipe stills works fine. On my desktop, i have no problems accessing youtube not loged in even with a vpn... im on linux and use brave browser
yt-dlp does a good job keeping up with evading breaking changes
Video DownloadHelper is still working for Youtube. You'll need the companion app to download from Youtube. No license required on Linux.
A lot of front end alternatives for YouTube got broken recently. Freetube invideous etc
CapCut is hilarious. I’m having it AI narrate a bunch of videos rn.
Put it on your own website
thie android i got, literally has a screen record option
so, like anything i’m streaming , doing , w/e on the phone
i can just down slide , start screen record option
and it runs for a good length of time.
iznt a normal option r8ght 😹💭
🙏Any safety issues here that the community should be aware of?
Flipping unreal. The bifurcation of the tech world feels inevitable.
Lately the arms race has been moving fast, so i've been having to use the yt-dl nightly build.
I hear more and more people's content saying "oops I hope they don't ban me"..... wild
my phone has new pipe its great when it works its a de googled phone. i use linux desktop my web browser is chomium.
buy rumble and make it nostr video relays
YouTube has become soooo horrible to use and cringe
You no doubt know this, but an alternative client/frontend could help. I have never used the official client, i use NewPipe or LibreTube and tend not to encounter too many issues.
We will make them obsolete.
Invidious works well for me as an alternative frontend. Example instance
Invidious - search
An alternative front-end to YouTube
newpipe has been diligently combatting YouTube's attempts. Foss will always win
Newpipe + Freetube
What video? `yt-dlp` still works for me, but they might be rolling out something new.
Thanks for those who shared this. I’ve never heard of Invidious but it looks really awesome and I was able to download what I was looking for 🙏🏻
I’m working on a video focused nostr client at
https://storm.pub.
Right now it’s just a basic nostr timeline / reply / post client but I’m adding improvements every week.
Please check it out and book mark it for later!

Dude, Youtube is cracking down hard and it's insanely frustrating. My go to for YEARS for getting video and audio pulled from youtube in order to make clips, transcribe, use found footage, etc has just stopped working, It's all throwing back errors.
Legacy platforms are literally becoming hot garbage. This is all such bullshit.
As much as it pisses me off, it's at least a (albeit slow) self correcting mechanism. Because if i can't record or download stuff from Youtube... I literally will use it half as much, *at best.*

Freetube was the best alternative, but, Tubular and Libretube work good.
Market forces are pretty powerful when they're allowed to exist.
Maybe the file sharing distribution platform you are developing with Pear runtimes could be used as a P2P video streaming platform too
Is there anything to alpha/beta test yet for that? I have a Mac and Debian workstation. Where to donate sats?
As tempting as the allure of makin' a bunch of that YouTube ad money may be, the platform continues to show itself to be, as you so eloquently put it, "hot garbage" 🤢

BTW if you are on Linux, either Parabolic or Video Downloader from flathub.org are great options to just download videos from YT. If you aren't on Linux, yt-dlp (what's in the backend of those apps) is available as an .exe.
Social media used to be the feeder for YouTube. Now YouTube will be a feeder for us while we build out the video platforms. Time to repurpose all the video assets you have and get them ready for uploading as soon as the platform switch is flipped.
