      I’ve had a week of “content unavailable” in newpipe. Does not seem to be working at all anymore.

        If you downloaded from f-droid you can add the new pipe as an additional repo and get updates sooner. I had to do this to get newpipe working again. Add this

        https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=e2402c78f9b97c6c89e97db914a2751fda1d02fe2039cc0897a462bdb57e7501

        It turns this repo on, and you can update the app by choosing a repo drop down in the update area.

        I got sick of the cat and mouse with updates and youtube making changes.

        I tried Grayjay from f-droid and I’m never going back. Getting all my video platforms on one amazing app with excellent queueing, background play, pop-out player, etc. It even has ad-blocking and sponsorblock built in. I’ve happily paid for this app and set it up ok my PC too. Highly recommended.

          Thanks for the tip on Grayjay. FYI, I had to add this repo on F-Droid in order to find it there.
