no.

Is see. So it’s insecure and broken by design. Well it’s note.js, we knew that.

I wouldn’t say so. I run npm update in microtube on my own volition, to update minor release of the youtube libraries in case youtube breaks something thats then later fixed by library, so that I don’t have to release microtube so often. Its good idea but thanks to npm bullshittery it has drawbacks yes. But at the same time if npm reverses the version it will also fix the issue so… it’s also a solution
There’s pinning, so you could stop most of the basic junk from autoupdating (leftpad doesn’t need latest and greatest backdoored version), reducing the attack surface, but yeah npm is npm
Yes it’s broken again
Yes it’s youtube’s fault
Can I just drop this app please i hate youtube

Every Invidious instance also broke
YouTube changed the player signature or something 
Edit, it looks even more involved than that. Ouch… [Announcement] Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads · Issue #14404 · yt-dlp/yt-dlp · GitHub
Every alternative client broke.
Microtube is already using nodejs so no issues there

I have to get back to a point I made earlier, much to MM’s chagrin:
Only a project like yt-dlp manages to keep up, remain backwards compatible, and provide means to integrate, and should be used for apps like these.
Of course there’s a different problem with SFOS’s old python version here, but yeah.
which also had the same issue as everyone else.
that is blatantly incorrect
that’s also incorrect
This tiring cat-and-mouse game is really a farce, why does nobody want to create a European alternative?

money. It costs money. A lot of it.
Always has been, they just got too greedy and started the enshittification show.
Somewhat OT, but…
Assuming you mean an alternative to yt, there already is a European (and African, Asian, etc) option. Peertube is federated, load-sharing, and free software. It also works pretty well. Watch videos without an account, sign-up on an instance that matches your interests to upload your videos/broadcast live video, or run a server yourself/with friends/as a collective.
Start by checking out the Jolla videos mirrored at Friprogramvarusyndikatet by a member of this forum (thank you, @ljo ).

>here is a solution use android app instead of native app! Why would you use Sailfishos anyway?
Seriously?

This is only a practical solution that works. Surely I would be more happy to have a working native Microtube.
I’m using 28 Sailfish apps and 7 Android apps on my phone.
Haem… they said
In the mean time a better way is found, I can imagine.
Oh yeah throw another alternative, yes please complete it soon you cannot wait to get rid yourself of microtube. Go on rub it in!
Reminder this thread is about microtube and little bit of empathy wouldn’t hurt.

I agree. Empathy is too rare (nowadays?).
Worse is, that we often don’t realize empathy acts like a boomerang. (purely own self personal belief)
Imagine going to thread about an app and saying “nah fuck this app, go use this other one, I can’t wait for this other one go get released” like how insensitive and rude can you be. Very rude.
