Description

This repository contains updated preunified NewPipeLegacy-v0.19.8 & revived unified v0.21.2 of tossj fork of NewPipeLegacy with updated NewPipeExtractor for Legacy Devices dependency.

The application itself heavily relies on the extractor component which is responsible for proper parsing of various video/audio streams, including Youtube site. The old NewPipe Legacy version 0.19.8 depends on old extractor version which is practically deprecated and can't handle current Youtube (and similar?) streams, thus rendering the application useless for daily use.

NewPipe Legacy version 0.19.8+ in this repository uses the updated version of NewPipeExtractor for legacy devices and resolves the forementioned issue, thus making it possible to use old NewPipe Legacy updated version 0.19.8 with bug fixes, features & support for SoundCloud, Bandcamp, media.ccc.de sites added for legacy devices along with updated extractor version. However v0.21.2+ is also available with Unified Player in toss branch. APK's for legacy devices on Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.1 – 4.0.4) has been available from Releases, but it has a very basic support, can be buggy.

You don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, it is a copylefted libre software.

Motivation

Not so long ago, NewPipe project implemented a new UI elements for video streams. Personally, I didn't like that change. I wanted to keep using the old UI instead.

Installation and updates

You can install NewPipe Legacy Revo using one of the following methods:

  1. Download the APK from Github Releases and install it.
  2. Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.
