f-droid

[bingoxo]

can you please add your fork to f-droid so it can have a larger audience and at same time we can have automatic updates

[emacsomancer]

preferably also via a separate repo like the main newpipe does; fdroid sometimes takes a while to roll out updates

[ajayyy]

Depends on #12

[seniorm0ment]

+1, main repo and a hosted one or maybe izzy's repo.

[je-vv]

I'd also say both, the official one, and a custom onel with faster updates, like the newpipe one, but keeping the same f-droid FLOSS policies on the custom one... Thanks !

This is the main reason that's keeping me from using this: Newpipe needs frequent updates so it won't stop working with YouTube. Keeping an app updated manually on multiple devices is much more effort than just skipping sponsored segments manually...

the updates are not that frequent plus fdroid updates the same way newpipe updates unless you are rooted (which is bad for security anyway)

fdroid does some verifications, not all repos but their main and izzy's repo i know do

the advantage of using fdroid's main repo is that you trust them to build from source instead of downloading whatever binary the main dev puts in releases , but again , unless you audit the code yourself you still need to trust the dev anyway

izzy afaik just grabs binaries from releases

I meant more the malware and library scans, but yeah of course I'd prefer the main repo if possible.

as with anything

frequent updates

It doesn't need frequent updates but there are times where Google does something and Newpipe fixes it then a day later it's broken again then a few more times then Newpipe is fine for months if not longer.
It's just when it breaks, you need that update pretty quickly otherwise the the app is useless. f google.

[mooreye]

I would prefer a repo with only NewPipe x SponsorBlock, as Izzy contains proprietary software.
On a side note, is this app capable of self-updating? The "show notification if update available" option is still there, but when I tap "Check for updates", there is no feedback at all. If the app could just grab newest release from GitHub automatically, it would be good enough for me (Signal does something similar).

EDIT:
Well it's not, I had to download APK manually...

[CodeCubeNeo]

Any updates on this?

[gilbsgilbs]

Just submitted https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/11402 . We'll see where this goes. 🤞

[Atemu]

We'd probably want to wait for the Tubular rebranding. That might entail a new app ID.

[gilbsgilbs]

I'll leave it in draft then. Please let me know when the rebranding happens. It may also be needed to update the fastlane metadata btw.

I'd argue against an app id change though because it's rather internal and will mostly cause upgrade issues to users, who will likely have to reimport their subscriptions and recreate their preferences.

Agreed

[licaon-kter]

no news?

[Mynacol]

I'm working on a new build recipe, but currently the build fails due to missing dependencies on jitpack.io.
The newest NewPipe commits don't have this problem, so I'd wait for version 0.26.

But until then we should figure out if any rebranding is wanted/needed for F-Droid inclusion.
