Now waiting for LibreTube
In settings, you can disable proxy if you want direct connection to Youtube instead of using piped instances
That kills the point of LibreTube bruh
I mean i dont like ads so i use libretube but piped instances for me are too slow like maybe 80℅ of the time. I still try to enable proxy, and disable if vid doesnt load or too slow. I think newpipe also connects directly to YT, but i prefer libretub over newpipe because of design
Piped is much slower than regular YouTube and it’s definitely a serious convenience hit but I guess that’s what you pay for a free (as in beer and freedom) privacy improvement unfortunately.
hmm i dont know but since updating Preloading (under Player settings) to max limit (450s), videos are now more stable when using piped instances (adminforge.de). stable meaning no slow buffers/loading times. there are still some videos that doesnt load at all so i disable proxy if need to watch
When some videos don’t play, change the instance. It often helps
The sole point of LibreTube is to use piped proxies? Odd, you figure they wouldn’t include an option to make their entire app pointless.
It literally says “disable this only if you always use a VPN” below the button. If you use a VPN, there’s no point in slowing down the thing by using a proxy.
I know it does but you said “That kills the point of LibreTube bruh.” So if you can use a VPN, and there’s no point to slowing it down…it doesn’t sound like disabling it “kills the point” at all, like you first said.
Basically, your two messages contradict each other.
Not really. The toggle does kill the point of the app but the VPN is used instead. It’s a welcome feature for VPN users, not a stupid decision.
Sick! I love it
Any idea when the update comes to f-droid?
Great, this outage made me try out Grayjay. It’s ok I guess, I just like libretube and tubular more.
LibreTube never works for me, it buffers so freaking much. Tried everything to fix it. Newpipe has always been the goat imho.
Settings > Instance > Disable instance proxy.
LibreTube is meant to be used with a YouTube piped (which is a different thing than NewPipe) instance, which proxies the video stream. It’s very nice in theory, but in practice, the instances get blocked constantly. Disabling this option will make your device connect directly to YouTube (which leaks your ip address to YouTube) and make it work the same way NewPipe works
Tried that. Still buffered way more then NewPipe.
Yeah, works great when it actually does work. But pretty much never works when it’s supposed to. So I’ve been frequenting tubular more

The self updater wasn’t identifying the new version, had to see it here and download directly from GitHub
