Is microtube broken again? A bug report and status thread!

What auto updates are you talking about?

Except Pico Player doesn’t behave the same way… I’ve just tested it with a live stream at 1080p, and Pico Player plays it without stuttering on my XA2. So I guess it’s not the device, after all. It’s just you not really understanding what breaks in microTube on the XA2, but at the same time cockily blaming the device.

NPM. Also couldnt SABR be converted so it works with gstreamer?

Ok i finally set up my subscriptions and it does seem like “Check for new videos” does exactly what i want (which is to not get EVERY video for a channel), although there was no refresh option in the main page. Anyways newpipe was the only android app i really needed so now i think i can finally turn off aliendalvik and use native apps (until microtube breaks again, of course).

If you make gstreamer plugin that handles SABR absolutely

I already told you, it doesn’t play two separate streams

I’m not disabling npm updates because it will break stuff genius. yt-dlp is only used for stream urls you still need search and listing videos

Just select “load all videos” or “load all unwatched videos”. the subscriptions category on main page just does the first one

That’s my job :slight_smile: well except nobody pays me for it so more like that’s my goal

No i mean like convert sabr to whatever format was used before

That’s also what I mean, once you decode sabr it’s normal mp4 stream, video and audio combined even so it would eliminate seeking problem on avc1

so someone just needs to make gstreamer plugin that implements sabr support, aka given sabr stream url, it parses the data and spits out encoded mp4, then it will go through the rest of pipeline as usual and it would work without issues

Problem is that I don’t wanna do it because like i mentioned in the “i’m dropping this app” post i don’t really use it so i don’t see a reason to sink tens of hours into it i rather do stuff like i did to musikilo this week

Well i think yt-dlp could implement that if youtube ever decides to fully use sabr.
Also are subtitles meant to work? Because the only option for me is “Off”.

sure but yt-dlp would just decode it in order to download it. Stream urls would still be SABR and unusable in microtube

yeah they do work fine for me

Scartch that seems subtitles are indeed broken thanks for noticing

That doesnt really make sense to me, if yt-dlp converts it why couldnt you just play the file?

Sure I could, if you want to first wait for yt-dlp to download entire youtube video which could take from minutes to hours, sure I could

But at that point it makes very little sense

Checked, subtitles DO work, you only see “off” if there aren’t any

I have a bug where the picture freezes when you scrub the video. Then same also happens if sponsor block skips in the video, the audio plays like normal tho

As I said many times, when using AVC1 seeking doesn’t work (blame jolla for real this time), if you want to seek and use avc1 at the same time, you need deno.

seeking vp9 or combined stream (provided by deno) has no such issue

Oh damn, my bad, I must have accidentally turned on AVC1 when scrolling through settings, its fine now

How do i get subtitles then? I need to download them or what?
