Fucking google

https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus

the original software on which this is based is still around. you need to patch it yourself these days, but its not to hard to find a prepatched version on something like https://appdb.to

it works pretty well, you may need to change some A/B flags to get sponsorblock to work and the home and subscription feeds are buggy as hell, but at least it blocks the ads, for now.

That doesn't matter. What matters was ongoing support and updates which are now gone after YouTube inevitably breaks uYou.

This is also why Nintendo killed yuzu. Future support

[–] flat@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

dont know if i understand your comment, uYou itself has not been taken down, afaik.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No but it also hasn't been updated so it's likely bunk in terms of usabily. I also saw that the original uYou IPA was pulled at google request so this is likely Google continuing to follow up with "enforcement" of that request

It is being updated. They just don’t provide releases anymore because that is what gets repos taken down. You have to build it yourself

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They do provide releases; uYou is a tweak

[–] WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

I’m talking about uYouplus and specifically for sideloading

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 11 months ago

It just updated a month ago buddy. uYou is the tweak

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Except as you said yourself and I have also noticed it’s buggy as hell and only going to get worse.

[–] flat@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

yeah, for me its perfectly usable atm but i do worry for the future, especially with all the moves youtube has been making to kill off adblocking. i’ll honestly just stop watching for the most part at that point.

Someone uploaded Enhanced which fixes (nearly) all of the bugs to https://archive.org/details/uYouEnhanced_19.21.2_3.0.4.

Try again? Link works for me.

[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Weird. Still same error. 🤷

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Maybe. I tried USA, Canada, and Albania through VPN and got the same error on all.

That has a lot less features, unfortunately. Like Enhanced recently added a copy video to timestamp. Enhanced just has more active development

[–] flat@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

oh, i tried using it once and it just didnt work as well unfortunately, so i’ve always stuck to uYou+

[–] flat@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

though now i cant lol cause eeveeSpotify (which is totally amazing btw!) uses so many extensions it exceeds the limit together with altstore. ill probably disable the extensions and see if that works whenever i can
