NewPipe Is Turning 10
- bbkane 1y agoI love NewPipe! Especially for downloading kids videos for plane rides. Thanks for writing it!
- bfkwlfkjf 1y agoWhy not yt-dlp for downloading?
- sigmar 1y agoI'm not the person you asked, but I like it because: Easier to initiate downloads from mobile, got a nice ui for quality selection, can import subscriptions, keeps a download log that makes it easy to play recent download
- Fade_Dance 1y agoIt's subscription lists that do it for me. Such an improvement.
- netsharc 1y agoNot grandfather commenter... but why yt-dlp? NewPipe is a one-stop-shop for your mobile device, yt-dlp means searching for the video on the browser and copying the URL, running yt-dlp on the computer and then transferring the downloaded video onto your phone... With NewPipe you can be at the airport waiting for your flight, do it all on the device, and then hand it over to your kid (I'll leave out the commentary on using video to babysit them...)
- bfkwlfkjf 1y agoRight. I guess where we differ is that I actively try to avoid spending time on my mobile. I have never watched a YouTube video on my phone in my entire life, and won't.
- mvdwoord 1y agoAny other character traits you are proud of and would like to tell us about?
- bfkwlfkjf 1y agoOof is this something that you're unhappy about yourself?
- dontlaugh 1y agoThis is the contemporary equivalent of people that bragged they don’t watch TV in the 2000s.
- tripzilch 1y agothe only time it ever got brought up was when people (like you?) were incessantly quoting TV advertisements and the only people complaining about it were the ones who desperately felt that sliver of cultural relevance slipping away
- dontlaugh 1y agoI didn’t really watch TV, but I also didn’t constantly point it out. It stood out when others did.
- Jotalea 1y ago(on mobile) NewPipe is way easier to use, since it's designed for mobile touchscreens, instead of having to write a command.
- dlcarrier 1y agoIt's great at playing videos and downloading videos. But don't expect it to play your downloaded videos, because who would ever want to do that?
- DANmode 1y agoGallery for one-offs, VLC or similar if you’re serious. Scope is important to quality.
- selfhoster11 1y agoHuh? Don't you have a file manager on your phone?
- dlcarrier 1y agoI'm more confused than you are; what does a file manager have to do with playing videos?
- selfhoster11 1y agoYou can navigate to the files you downloaded with NewPipe and tap on them. They will open in the default video player.
- neumann 1y agoThis is exactly what we use it for
- nalinidash 1y agocoincidentally, I uninstalled newpipe today (after exporting its data to local storage).Not for any bad reasons, but due to it consuming most of my screen time. Anyway, really cool app and congratulations to the countless developers, maintainers and bug-reporters that made it possible.
- m000 1y agoMy dog loves NewPipe! It makes YT podcasts and talk shows great again, keeping its best friend happy during long walks.
- tetris11 1y agoSponsorblock is such a great inbuilt feature to make youtube useable, and kudos to the dev who empowered millions by writing it Edit: sorry I'm writing about PipePipe
- mnmalst 1y agoNewPipe does not have Sponsorblock built in tho. I am sure you are aware but other people might not. Tubular https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular is a newpipe fork which integrates Sponsorblock and youtube dislike.
- Itoldmyselfso 1y agoPipePipe (https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe) is better than Tubular, it has much more frequent updates and more features.
- noman-land 1y agoNewPipe is amazing and used it for years and donated money but recently I switched to Tubular which has SponsorBlock and that is incredible.
- moogly 1y agoBreaks way less often than FreeTube. I think there might be some lessons to learn there for the latter. One feature I wished it had: periodic background downloading of subscriptions. I use NewPipe fairly rarely, and when I do, I have to wait perhaps 90-120 seconds to download the list of latest videos. I'm pretty sure that contributes to me not using it super often, exacerbating the problem.
- Jotalea 1y agoI really like NewPipe. it's lightweight, no ads, allows downloading, allows 4K playback (on videos that support it), even allows watching streams!
