Oh, I definitely have experienced “The following content is not available on this app.” Before, but I thought it was just a thing of my Revanced version outdated because I rarely update it… Which I’m gonna do just now 😁
I hope this doesn’t bring too many issues to Smart Tube, which is where I do 99% of my YT usage (and I have yet to be bothered with any bug).
Never had any outage in SmartTube either, unless they pushed a faulty release (I’m on the beta channel), but even then they have reacted super fast with fixes.
So far I’m using NewPipe x Sponsorblock on my phone - apparently it has been discontinued & archived, but still works just fine as well. Only the comment view is broken since a couple weeks, but I really don’t care about those to begin with.
Yeah, it kind of sucks, and the performance on my phone is worse than NewPipe, but I haven’t found anything else that combines feeds from other sources (Odysee, Nebula, etc), so I still use it.
There are also some missing features, like browsing channel playlists.
the one thing that’s flawless for me is the screen rotation
Really? So you can watch videos horizontally without the video randomly flipping to vertical and back?
I’ve tried messing with the settings, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. See this bug report, finding that setting was a nightmare, and it didn’t even do anything. If it was open source, I’d probably go make a fix, but it’s not, so I guess I’ll just complain about it.
And yeah, that menu sucks as well. I hope Futo hires a UX person because it could be so much nicer to use. I’m impressed at how well it works though, so that dev is doing a top notch job.

Smart Tube in TV and Tubular on phone (plus Grayjay, but but I’m not fond of their UX).

It has a ways to make it go, for sure. That UX reminds me of WinAmp way back in the day 🤣
WinAmp was awesome! I loved having it as a floating bar to control my music.
But honestly, the UX is mostly okay for me, except the settings, that really needs some cleanup. Also, rotation is completely broken.
Tell me we’re old without saying that we’re old 🤣
And in Grayjay, I the one thing that’s flawless for me is the screen rotation.
100% agree that the menus and settings need a serious overhaul.

Oh good to know, I wasn’t looking for alternatives as long as it still works, but that’s going to be the future then. Thanks!
