Fixed
[YouTube] Fix for HTTP error 403 when starting videos: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1191
Fix crash in MediaSessionPlayerUi while destroying player #11261
Note that this does not fix 403 err...
Electron is yuck, and not ported to my preferred OS. Pipe-viewer (or youtube-viewer if you want to log in to youtube and use your own api key for some reason) is just as feature-complete with a fraction of the dependencies.
I’m an OpenBSD user, not a Linux user, and Waydroid isn’t ported. find /usr/ports -type f -name DESCR -exec grep -li android {} + | awk -F/ '{printf "%s ", $5}' | sed 's/ $//'; echo gives me fdk-aac musikcube opencore-amr adb apktool jadx kf5 py-filebytes clearsans roboto-fonts chiaki libgdx libgdx kdeconnect-kde ntfs-3g selfoss, none of which seem to be an android emulator.
Either way, using a youtube client through an android emulator seems silly, especially when there are native clients like minitube and pipe-viewer that work on any platform.
I use qutebrowser, and even with userscripts and DNS blocking I can’t for sure reliably block all of google’s spyware and fingerprinting (and that’s not even mentioning how bloated the default webclient is). Also google looks like it’s pushing out server-side ads like twitch does, and using the browser client is playing in their ballpark.
Invidious playback is unreliable in my experience, and 3rd party clients have the advantage of selecting from multiple invidious hosts, and falling back if one doesn’t work.
As someone who’s (re) vanced stopped working today, one thing about using my browser instead was the inability to switch to a different app or lock my screen without pausing.
I fucking hate that shit. Made solely so they could sell it as a “bonus feature” for subscribing to their pay service.
Mhh thats weird, i actually downloaded revanced today because newpipe/tubular (and libretube, to some extend) stopped working. Runs without issue, though i still prefer newpipe, so im happy about these news
Newpipe is great, if only it worked on unix instead of only on Google’s shitty Linux fork.

You can use Waydroid to run Android apps on Linux.

It’s not run through a specific port, but through binderfs, a filesystem which indeed seems to be not ported to BSD.
Android stuff runs on Dalvik, not native Unix.
Why not just use your browser?

Invidious?

I literally had the opposite experience lol. Just got NewPipe and it seems to work fine.
Suck shit, Google.
While ssm’s concerns above probably still stand, you can use “Enhancer for YouTube” for background playback.
