I definetly recommend it. It also has many more settings , features than newpipe . It is in the main repo . Just search pipepipe .
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.

That’s interesting. I started to have issues loading Youtube videos a few months ago and had to switch back to regular NewPipe. (I’m using Tubular now.)
Any idea why the change? It looks more or less identical.
I’m not sure why the app got rebranded to Tubular. I think it’s because the author has ambitions for their fork beyond just Sponsorblock and Return Youtube Dislike and didn’t want to just append another feature to the app name every time they add a new feature.
Ah. Thanks.
Why is this better than NewPipe? I much prefer apps that focus on 1 thing and dont support 20 additional services.
It’s great for people who like vocaloid because you can listen to your favorite songs across yt, niconico, and even bilibili.
I know a few different people who have a few of their songs made using vocaloid and other related software on yt but the majority of their work is on one of the other platforms and pipepipe is so much more convenient than having both the niconico app and bilibili app installed.
Because newpipe is now being rewritten so no one is maintaining it and pipepipe haveany features newpipe don’t .New pipe too support other services .
I did not know NewPipe was unmaintained. I switched to Tubular. Thank you for the post!
NewPipe is maintained. They just haven’t been adding many features recently. And Tubular is just new pipe with Sponsorblock and return YouTube dislike
I guess you could say kinda maintained . They just maintain it to keep it barely working and i support that because it wouldn’t matter in the end anyway as they are rewriting huge parts of their code.
Here’s its link
EDIT : it supported channel tabs before NewPipe added them and also shows comment replies.
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 .
Thx for the recommendation, this seems to be pretty great, specially to access other services like bilibili and niconico without spyware alongside youtube 🤙

I thought tubular was the newpipe continuum?

Tries this one, nice, tubular has done loading issues
Does it have Sponsor Block? I can’t seem to find it in Settings.
Its there as the last option in settings
Ah, looks like the fdroid repo I have on my frontend isn’t the latest version.
Going to unobtainium direct github now shows SponsorBlock. Ty.
Same author as newpipe, so no sponsorblock.
This is not true why spread misinformation ? It does have sponsorblock .
My bad, got it mixed up with this https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular
Tubular does have sponsorblock tho. So.
it says sponsorblock in the features list:
https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe?tab=readme-ov-file
It does have sponsor block.
Wait, so is newpipe abandoned?
No they are rewriting most of the app.

To use until new pipe is completed which i think will take a long time . You can use it after that too i guess depends on your taste .
You weren’t kidding, this is a fantastic replacement. Cheers for the rec.
Cheers mate .
Has anyone tried LibreTube (F-Droid link)? It uses the Piped API, which is an alternative YouTube frontend.
Recommended 💯
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.
It’s too bad that the limited available alternatives themselves aren’t available.
@THEDAEMON I’m using it now. Found it recently.
Cheers
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.
NewPipe x SponsorBlock uses this as default.
GL.
P.S. for anyone that want to install NPxSB, install their new app Tubular instead.
Thanks. I was just leaving out the / after /api.
Sadly i don’t use sponser block .

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 .
Removed by mod
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 .
Okay I see
