Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required.

    Revanced actually is the official YouTube client, just modified on the users device before installation.

      I actually did not know that. I mean I should have figured cause the patching looked really similar to when I soft modded my Wii, but I’m not a very bright man.

        If you patched it yourself, surely you must have noticed downloading the official YouTube client to modify, haha

  It has never worked for me. Always within minutes of an update or install, videos stop buffering and the whole thing is bricked.

      Yeah I don’t update ReVanced either until the google puts up a nag screen complaining about ending support for that particular version. Never had a problem.

      My last phone I installed it on, I never updated the app. And that was like a good 18 months.

    Well I watched a couple videos, went to pick up some meds, and watched a few shorts in the drive thru.

    But I am on Android and followed the instructions closely just a few days ago.
