I don’t understand why, but NewPipe 0.28.7 is acting really strange: I set the resolution to 720p, but every YouTube video I watch is 360p instead, is this a YouTube API change or something? On a side-note: GrayJay runs perfectly fine, it goes well past 1080p on YouTube videos, which is far superio…

See pinned issue at NewPipe GH issue tracker. From their Matrix room: [Screenshot from 2026-06-05 06-10-51] Sad that GrayJay isn’t on NeoStore. Add their repository. See wiki .

Oh shoot! I didn’t realize that FUTO had a repository! Solved that part, but, with Tubular being dead, shouldn’t NewPipe consider adding SponsorBlock, ReturnYouTubeDislike & increase playback speed to 8X to try and stay relevant because of GrayJay?

Also, I think NewPipe’s developers should see this: First, find an Age-Restricted video: [Screenshot_20260608-110755] Then slip over to NeverCap and use the associated link to the video and convert it: [Screenshot_20260608-111133] And there you go: [Screenshot_20260608-111145] Age Restrict…

This is completely wrong approach, personal approach and if you do want to suggest, then do it in their git issues.

Sorry, but GitHub’s Captchas are annoying as balls, I’m NOT doing 10 Captchas in a row for just one issue. Plus with GitHub collapsing, I have decided to use Codeberg instead.

I noticed, but still, Nevercap has a way around YouTube’s Age Verification problem (Since YouTube itself DEMANDS an ID and/or Face Scan to go through it), if NewPipe considers it, then YouTube loses that avenue of data collection, and we could theoretically bypass YouTube Memberships too (Since it’s…

[image] ArceusI: I think NewPipe could try this technique to make ID Age Verification meaningless somehow. Ok, what is “this technique”? Do they have source code available? From a cursory look this looks like proprietary SaaSS which means we don’t know how it works and can’t use “this techniq…

It’s hard to say, but if Nevercap does it, then it’s more than possible for NewPipe to somehow get something like that to work. It would be a huge step up for Privacy, and a huge L for Google, and it would open the floodgates open for Membership bypassing, which further increases Privacy, though at …
