minus-square@blindsight@beehaw.orglinkfedilink23•8 months agoDoes NewPipe use the YouTube API, or is it a scraper? Also, how will this fix Vanced, that’s using the actual YouTube app? There are also browser extensions that just play the ads, muted, at like 100× speed. It might as well just be a tiny buffering hiccup at that speed. I guess we’ll need to see, but I’m not too worried.
minus-square@PoorPocketsMcNewHold@lemmy.mllinkfedilink14•8 months agoIt’s a scraper. And, in theory, it shouldn’t even cause any issues with ReVanced modified Youtube patches except if they need to be updated.
minus-square@HopingForBetter@lemmy.todaylinkfedilink1•8 months agoYeah, every few 18 months you’ll probably have to get the latest api and re-revance it. But unless they lock up their api somehow, revanced should be good.
