I definetly recommend it. It also has many more settings , features than newpipe . It is in the main repo . Just search pipepipe .
i meant client. Accidently typed fork because i was talking about a fork . Anyway its now fixed in the post.
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.)

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.
Thx for the recommendation, this seems to be pretty great, specially to access other services like bilibili and niconico without spyware alongside youtube 🤙
Here's its link
EDIT : it supported channel tabs before NewPipe added them and also shows comment replies.
Does it have Sponsor Block? I can't seem to find it in Settings.
This is not true why spread misinformation ? It does have sponsorblock .
My bad, got it mixed up with this https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular
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 .
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.
Just installed it. Seems pretty slick. Haven't tried the import from youtube yet though
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.
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.
Better , except it's not piped like libretube if you are aldready running a vpn then there is no issue (if you even want that kind of privacy of course) .
