Love how when the dev of this felt compelled to link to atl, their browser gave them the link with /-/issues at the end. Really shows the effort that went into porting.
This is great news.
By “Developer of the Newpipe app”
Hmm…
Unverified
It’s a “No” from me. I’ll stick to Freetube.
For those unaware, being verified means it is packaged by the official developer/team.
If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:
NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.
Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

My guess is that they did not want to take credit as the developer of NewPipe itself. As if to say “We did not develop NewPipe, we just packaged it as a Flatpak”. There is probably a better way to get that across in the byline, but I believe that is the intent.
malicious intent
Finally
…The Rock has come back to Flatpak!
Someone let me out of my cage
Does this run on x86/64 bit systems? Or this is for Linux smartphones more.
It says:
Available Architectures
aarch64, x86_64And it uses Android Translation Layer. Interesting. I’ll give it a shot on my desktop later.
It says it’s available for both Intel and Arm architectures. However, I don’t know how well that actually works for both of them in practice.

FreeTube has significantly more features, so there’s not much reason to switch either way.
On my phone I have to use a NewPipe fork in order to get SponsorBlock working.
A sync feature between FreeTube and NewPipe would be appreciated though.
Out of interest, which fork are you using? I used to use newpipe-sponsorblock but it was too slow to update and use Tubular now.
I believe Tubular is just descendent of “newpipe sponsorblock”. I believe they are from the same developer who discontinued previous project.
I’m currently using BraveNewPipe, not sure how recent it is but it updates regularly and works well: https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipe

You can export your newpipe subs and import them into freetube. Sadly there isn’t an automation for this, though
Freetube on desktop Linux hasn’t worked for me for a long time - but that doesn’t seem to be the case for most people. Any tips regarding settings? I’d say it’s been at least 3 or 4 months since I could reliably use it.
If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment.
Thank you! I actually tried setting the invidious options yesterday before making that post, thinking I might need to use that instead of localapi. But as you have predicted, no dice.

It launches for me (and I am in a plasma-wayland session FWIW), and it loads the thumbnails for all videos with no problem. When I click a video as if to play it, it appears to load up the main page for that video complete with play button, but nothing at all happens when I click the play button. Along the way are various api errors from youtube, but I think some of those came in even when things were working for me.
Basically I can get this far for any video:
Is it possible to sync freetube between phone and pc?
That’s awesome
That’s owsm!

Unverified… Nope. No install for me.
Android translation layer is interesting. Well, at least I personally like this approach more than that of waydroid. Also would be nice to see the performance of that with binfmt compared to that of waydroid + libhoudini
What is Flathub?
It is an appstore for Flatpaks. Flatpaks are a universal app package for Linux that runs in a sort of containerized environment. They’re very prolific in the immutable linux world.
It allows Linux developers to package their app once and it will install across more than 40+ Linux distros without any additional effort: https://flathub.org/setup
An app store for linux.
I hoped for this for a long time before I found freetube. I’m still going to check it out, though. This is great news!
