If you use Freetube, you haven't failed to notice that Google is on the war path again and broke it a few days ago. See this bug report.

Please note that it's been fixed in this PR. If you download the nightly build #5652, it now works like a champ.

Thanks team Freetube!

FreeTube is one of the last remaining youtube frontends in the game. Piped got nuked, Invidious is still kinda fighting.

...for the desktop.

Newpipe and Grayjay are still going strong on Android.

There is also a NewPipe flatpak available on Flathub.

I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.

Awesome! I didn't know. I'm gonna try it now. Thanks!

I appreciate them and their work so much. They must all have a thick skin to deal with users every time stuff is broken.

Need github account to download 😿😿😿😿

Codeburg and gitlab very outdated repo. Anywhere else?

FreeTube is great! I'll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me--when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they'll figure out how to fix it like they always do.

If you download the nightly build #5652,

How does one download this? I visited the page but the named artifacts (linux-amd64 etc) don't show as links.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Hell yeah! Glad I wasn't the only one with this issue...

Where is the download links for the new nightly builds?
