Is NewPipeX a legit project? (github.com)

I was searching for any native(non-proxied) YouTube client for Android in kotlin.

I found this which is making me excited, but in the same time I am worried about its security and privacy that make me unable to install it.

Does anyone know the developer and is the app safe and private?

Asking out of ignorance, is there anything wrong with NewPipe rn?

I use Tubular, and this fork crashes hard when I import my DB (regardless of if I import the settings as well or not). Guess I'll stay on Tubular since it just works (for now).

[–] jonjuan@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Tubular works great and has SponsorBlock build in.

did you try pipepipe ? https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe

[–] Joker@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

PipePipe is not written in kotlin.

You can always turn off the proxying in LibreTube

Dunno, but another fork popped up, recently on F-Droid. And I like it. It's name is PipePipe.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

PipePipe has been around for quite some time, at least 2 years I believe

What do you mean with non-proxied?

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not using the Piped or Invidious API to proxy the video stream, since these tend to get blocked by YouTube really quickly

[–] lps@social.trom.tf 1 points 4 days ago

@Andromxda @naeap it's odd but the mobile app versions of these proxies services seem to work longer vs the desktop versions... #freetube for example, android app now connects, but desktop says you can't view since you're not logged in.

Does not use projects like piped.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Ah, ok, thanks

Was thinking like, opposite of native. Aber that didn't really made sense for me.

the developer has one app on fdroid if that means anything to you
