If you use Freetube, you haven't failed to notice that Google is on the war path again and broke it a few days ago. See this bug report.

Please note that it's been fixed in this PR. If you download the nightly build #5652, it now works like a champ.

Thanks team Freetube!

If you download the nightly build #5652,

How does one download this? I visited the page but the named artifacts (linux-amd64 etc) don't show as links.

Hell yeah! Glad I wasn't the only one with this issue...

FreeTube is one of the last remaining youtube frontends in the game. Piped got nuked, Invidious is still kinda fighting.

...for the desktop.

Newpipe and Grayjay are still going strong on Android.

[–] jcs@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There is also a NewPipe flatpak available on Flathub.

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 hours ago

Oh wow interesting. Thanks!

I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.

Awesome! I didn't know. I'm gonna try it now. Thanks!

Need github account to download 😿😿😿😿

Codeburg and gitlab very outdated repo. Anywhere else?

I'm not sure if they've got it posted anywhere else, but if you can tell me which file you're wanting, I'd be happy to download it with my account and upload it for you somewhere else and link it here. Let me know if you have a preferred place for me to upload it (or, if not, if there's anywhere you definitely don't want to download it from - I'm guessing no Google, haha!)

Edit: Here is a link to screenshot of the files list in case you can't see it without an account

Thanks! I need win 64 exe if you can, and catbox works fine for me. That's very considerate.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 4 hours ago

I'm happy to help! :)

Catbox wouldn't allow me to upload the unzipped .exe, so I uploaded a zipped version, I hope that's alright. Here's the direct link: https://files.catbox.moe/e8x17h.zip

Let me know if there's any issue or if I accidentally grabbed the wrong file or anything

FreeTube is great! I'll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me--when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they'll figure out how to fix it like they always do.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 9 points 22 hours ago

I appreciate them and their work so much. They must all have a thick skin to deal with users every time stuff is broken.

[–] countrypunk@slrpnk.net 40 points 1 day ago

LETS GOOOOOOO THANK YOU FREETUBE

Fixed.

There has been so many of them, to be honest I picked the first one I found 🙂

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 4 points 23 hours ago

Praise the sun! ☀️

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Oh thank god.
