This is great news.

By "Developer of the Newpipe app"

Hmm....

Unverified

It's a "No" from me. I'll stick to Freetube.

For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago

If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:

NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.

Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

My guess is that they did not want to take credit as the developer of NewPipe itself. As if to say "We did not develop NewPipe, we just packaged it as a Flatpak". There is probably a better way to get that across in the byline, but I believe that is the intent.

malicious intent

[-] anzo@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

One could also think that whoever packaged this was hurried while filling a form, and wanted to provide credit where it was due. So, maybe they were on the best of their intents... We don't know.

If I were to use this, I would check other apps from same uploader. Or better, see what permissions are being asked..

In any case, trusting blindly github contributors on teamnewpipe organization is not extremely different.

Trust and credibility are volatile and freely given. It's youtube, not my bank account ;p

Now, time for me is nothing, 'cause I'm counting no age

[-] olof@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

Does this run on x86/64 bit systems? Or this is for Linux smartphones more.

[-] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 1 month ago

It says:

Available Architectures
aarch64, x86_64

And it uses Android Translation Layer. Interesting. I'll give it a shot on my desktop later.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 1 month ago

It says it’s available for both Intel and Arm architectures. However, I don’t know how well that actually works for both of them in practice.

[-] awesome_guy@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

That's owsm!

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.

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] hostops@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

I believe Tubular is just descendent of "newpipe sponsorblock". I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

PipePipe has been pretty good ime

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularily and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Which additional platforms are supported? Bitchute Rumble

ugh no I'm good thanks

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] carlytm@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Edit - works fine after updating today lol!

[-] land@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Is it possible to sync freetube between phone and pc?

[-] CaptechOmar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That's awesome

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Android translation layer is interesting. Well, at least I personally like this approach more than that of waydroid. Also would be nice to see the performance of that with binfmt compared to that of waydroid + libhoudini

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 2 points 1 month ago

Also nice because you can better isolate these Android apps instead of Waydroid which intentional has no isolation or selinux policies and runs in a rootful LXC container.

Unverified... Nope. No install for me.

What is Flathub?

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

It is an appstore for Flatpaks. Flatpaks are a universal app package for Linux that runs in a sort of containerized environment. They're very prolific in the immutable linux world.

[-] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago

It allows Linux developers to package their app once and it will install across more than 40+ Linux distros without any additional effort: https://flathub.org/setup

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 9 points 1 month ago

An app store for linux.

[-] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago

I hoped for this for a long time before I found freetube. I'm still going to check it out, though. This is great news!

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Is the android translation layer good enough to run games? And I wonder how we could manage controls for example in like codm.

[-] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 1 points 1 month ago

According to the Gitlab repo for the Android transition layer, yes.

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

The images in gitlab look mouse controllable. I should've phrased my question better. I was wondering how keyboard was translated. I could test it myself but I'm 99% sure codm wont work.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Gray Jay was awesome while it worked. unfortunately for me, YouTube sources simply spin forever instead of playing the video.

[-] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 1 points 1 month ago

Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.
