I definetly recommend it. It is in the main repo . Just search pipepipe .
Thx for the recommendation, this seems to be pretty great, specially to access other services like bilibili and niconico without spyware alongside youtube 🤙

You weren’t kidding, this is a fantastic replacement. Cheers for the rec.
Cheers mate .
How does it compare to libretube?
Better , except it’s not piped like libretube if you are aldready running a vpn then there is no issue (if you even want that kind of privacy of course) .
My YouTube use is quite limited. I was using the no longer maintained Newpipe Sponsorblock, recently switched to Tubular (rework of aforementioned). I also use Freetube Cordova and Invidious through UnTrackme.
Is there a reason for me to switch to this other fork? I watch probably 5-10 minutes a month.
Can’t talk about the others but it is defenetly more polished , stable and better than invideous in my opinion .
OK, thanks, I will take a look
Oh shit I had no idea Newpipe Sponsorblock was archived I still use it quit a bit. Any idea what happened there since the dev seemed quit active.
*edit: Also, is there a new maintained Newpipe fork with Sponsorblock integrated?
I wasn’t following it too much but I think they wanted to rewrite it. So, from the same developer is Tubular.
FYI: Newpipe is NOT a youtube fork. It’s an app build from scratch.
i meant client. Accidently typed fork because i was talking about a fork . Anyway its now fixed in the post.
Ah yeah that makes more sense. :) Cheers
I think at this point, what’s needed is a wiki page comparing the various forks and options. I’m not a heavy *Tube user, and I can’t keep track.
AFAICT, there are at least five active Tube front-end apps:
- NewPipe
- NewPipe x Sponsorblock
- FreeTube (the only one that isn’t a NP fork)
- Tubular (how does this differ from MP x SB?)
- PipePipe
Active, committed maintainers are one of the most important features of any such tool, as Google constantly works to sabotage alt front-ends and timely work-around updates are critical. But some sort of feature comparison matrix would be nice.
Tubular (how does this differ from MP x SB?)
NewPipe x Sponsorblock is dead and Tubular is the continuation of it by the same author.
Interesting. I’m still using NewPipe x Sponsorblock and haven’t had any issues with it. Any idea why the change? It looks more or less identical.
Ah. Thanks.
Great recommendation I was able to import over my stuff from newpipe x Sponsorblock. Nice to get comment replies working for the first time.
Glad you are having a good experiance .
I’m using pipepipe and libretube,newpipe can’t view the live recordings on some content which is a shame but I think if libretube is more recommendable.
@slsemmt @THEDAEMON I’ve used libretube and was very useful. But now the app won’t work and I’ve tried to reinstall and then the phone doesn’t allow me. So now I’ve moved to pipepie. I think the phone manufacturer doesn’t like it. I’m using pixel 6a.
Here’s its link
EDIT : it supported channel tabs before NewPipe added them and also shows comment replies.
Does it have Sponsor Block? I can’t seem to find it in Settings.
Its there as the last option in settings
Same author as newpipe, so no sponsorblock.
it says sponsorblock in the features list:
https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe?tab=readme-ov-file
This is not true why spread misinformation ? It does have sponsorblock .
My bad, got it mixed up with this https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular
Wait, so is newpipe abandoned?
No they are rewriting most of the app.
No. No grand rewrite either:
Revanced tho
Revaced isn’t open dource it mostly uses youtube app which is propeitery.
PipePipe was AnimePipe. It is for anime weebs. And it forks off of NewPipe few days later.
Yeah it was initially built for anime fans . Even though i barely watch animes (the only real japanise made animes i have ever watched are One punch man and death note ) i still think it is a really good fork . And nowadays it seems they are not forking from newpipe anymore .
What makes it special for anime?
It has some anime streaming sites attatched along eith youtube if i am right. Which i don’t think i am .
What is the api URL to get sponsor block working? I’ve tried like 4 different ones based on the docs, but can’t figure it out.
After I enabled Sponsorblock it took a couple of days for it to actually start working for some reason. But the default one (https://sponsor.ajay.app/api/)should work eventually.
Sadly i don’t use sponser block .
NewPipe x SponsorBlock uses this as default.
GL.
P.S. for anyone that want to install NPxSB, install their new app Tubular instead.
@THEDAEMON I’m using it now. Found it recently.
Cheers
Just installed it. Seems pretty slick. Haven’t tried the import from youtube yet though
