0.27.0

Note

This release adds support for local feed extraction in order to circumvent the current subscription feed issues at Piped, where the feed not properly updated. To enable it, navigate to Settings -> Instance and set the preference accordingly. Please note that this might take a lot of time if you have a lot of subscriptions, and apart from that directly connects you to YouTube for fetching information about new videos.

Additionally this release updates the NewPipeExtractor to v0.24.4 in order to fix the iOS Player response not valid errors when attempting to play a video.

For everyone who didn't notice yet: If you don't have access to a private Piped instance that's not IP-banned by YouTube, you should likely enable Local streams extraction in the settings if facing Sign in to confirm you're not a bot errors. As the Local feed extraction option, please keep in mind that when enabled, LibreTube directly fetches playback information from YouTube.

FAQ about the current situation

• Help! I can't play videos? If you rely on public Piped instances, go to Settings -> Instance and enable Disable Piped proxy as well as Local streams extraction. Disclaimer: The bot-blocked API call will now be done directly from your IP address, which is obviously less privacy-friendly. Using a VPN is recommended, but might not always work since YouTube blocks IPs of VPN providers as well.
• Help! I can't add videos to a playlist? If you're using the app with a Piped account, it's sometimes not possible to add videos to a playlist due to Piped. If you don't use a Piped account, playlists should work as expected after this release.
• If you're self-hosting a private Piped instance, everything is most likely still working normally anyways.
• Why did it take two weeks to publish a fix? Because open source developers also have a private life and do all that work in their free time without any monetary compensation.
• If you consider this project useful, please consider making a small donation to show your appreciation via https://liberapay.com/Bnyro or https://github.com/sponsors/Bnyro. Thank you!
• Can we expect more such breaking changes in the future? Only YouTube knows.
