This is really interesting stuff, found it on Hacker News. It’s like WINE, but for Android <-> Linux: https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/

I wonder how does it work? New pipe is originally a portarit application for Android.
Wow this is awesome! Waydroid is insecure (outdated, rootful container), slow in development and only sandboxed on Fedora.
But that they take Newpipe… which is notoriously broken as Youtube tries to block everything…
Other apps are
- OSMAnd~
- OrganicMaps
- Grayjay
- Jerboa, Fedilab, Pixeldroid
- Amethyst, Voyage
Those are really unique on Android
it’s worth noting that no actual security problems have been presented that haven’t been dealt with, Sandboxing is available on any distro assuming the tools are made availible. Waydroid supports both apparmor and selinux, please report any security issues and tag the maintainers when doing so.
EDIT: you do need to set apparmor into enforce mode manually though.
hey! don’t be mean like that to my baby…
I’m using NewPipe daily and it doesn’t seem broken at all?
You use a VPN?
I use a VPN with NewPipe, no problems. I’m using the NewPipe repo for the app
I went from newpipe to tubular since it comes with sponsorblock, but iirc the backend is the same.
No VPN or anything, it works great.
Which version of Newpipe are you using? You’ll want to use their latest release repository rather than the ‘stable’ one, that seems to make it work.
This is great. This gives me hope for Linux mobile 🙏🏽
really buggy on fedora kinoite
feel you, brother
[Genuine] Okay, why when Freetube exists though?
FreeTube doesn’t always have 4k. I don’t remember which format, but a video has to be a certain format to show as 4k. Majority of videos that are shot in 4k show as only 1080p on FreeTube. I welcome new pipe to linux and will actually be using it
Well, good news the newest update to Freetube now adds 4K+ support since they changed the library used to get the videos or something. I have tested it and the video says 4K and seems to be that. Feel free to correct me if you try the latest update and find any discrepancies.
People who are used to NewPipe can use it
Also this is more of a testament to Android on Linux rather than NewPipe on Linux
Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining!
Interesting concept, if it gets good enough I hope ubuntu touch adopts this because I’m not a big fan of waydroid.
It’s still really basic, but has loads of potential, Unforunately it has a hard requirement on GTK, otherwise there are a few things that would have been nice for greater AX86 in general, for instance they have mediacodec->vaapi support, something ax86 has… struggled with in the past. but we can’t use it since we can’t use gtk.
Wow
Didn’t work on my Arch (btw) and Fedora
Someone on HN earlier today mentioned they would fix the Arch issues
