Heads up: Piped instances down

Libretube and some Piped frontends are currently down as Google is reportedly "rate limiting" (aka IP banning) these instances according to the Piped Matrix group. A workaround is being implemented, but if you are on Android and are in desperate need of Youtube audio during work like me Newpipe is still running.

There's also Clipious on android which uses Invidious, that works great right now.

You don't need to do it with every version. I only patch a new version every 6 months. That's more than enough.

I usually patch it every time videos stop loading

Agreed. Still feels like nobody knows about Vanced's successor.

its because compared to other (older) solutions, it's a pain. you gotta download the APK of the manager, then it's asking you to root your phone or give it an APK of the app you're trying to crack, so I guess I gotta go hunt for a YouTube APK?

too much work when I can just stop watching YouTube, and for the one video per week that's unavoidable, make do with my half-brokem version of YouTube Vanced that's still on my phone.

It isn't hard to find, download, load, and patch an APK.

there are pre-compiled apks, but they aren't on the official repository, though you seem too lazy to download those aswell.
