You're right. Clipious and FreeTube and LibreTube all have both of them but they don't have a solution for "sign in to confirm you're not a bot" error which comes up a lot when you use a VPN. only third party client that fixed this for me was grayjay with passing auth cookies (yes you have to sign in for the cookies unfortunately)

Thanks I checked it it has SponsorBlock but not DeArrow

You mean brave NewPipe?

Thanks Sounds good but I can't access YouTube without a VPN so I'm gonna get the "login to confirm you're not a bot" error the second I open YT on web

Public Invidious instances are kinda Dead at the moment

Yeah someone else suggested that too I installed it again and to my surprise it works for now but I'm sure I tried the local extraction the last time too anyways thanks gonna test it for a few days with multiple VPN servers to see if it really passes Edit: it still doesn't work with some VPN servers "confirm you're not a bot" error

Because It's modded official YT app with probably a lot of telemetry and phoning home in background

Thanks but How can it solve "confirm you're not a bot" error without a logged in cookies?

Yeah who cares as long as they have it. But that's why I think they probably don't have any plans to add DeArrow to their official YT plugin

Yeah sometimes it doesn't work for me too but I think that's because I use a VPN

There were some preset piped instances in it I tried some of them. I have to mention that I use a VPN to access YouTube and maybe that is my problem but I have to use a VPN since YouTube access is restricted where I live

Yeah I know I tried this one recently too but with recent YouTube restrictions It doesn't work for me anymore

wow just what I was looking for and it's abandoned

I meant their android port I use their desktop app that's great

I have literally tried all of the YouTube Frontends I can find and grayjay is the most reliable of them all in my opinion but their YT plugin doesn't support DeArrow. It seems like Louis Rossman doesn't like these tools as he repeatedly said on his channel He's not a fan of neither the SponsorBlock and nor DeArrow and understandably so after all he is a content creator himself. I wish instead of making a bunch of useless yt frontends someone would fork their plugin but I understand maintaining it would be hard work with YouTube constantly changing things in background and subsequent upstream updates need to be merged so who am I to judge I guess

Yeah it's the best YouTube Frontend for Android TV for sure

Yeah I have tried freetube android recently. It looked very alpha stage to me and lacking but promising

Try both Magic Earth and Organic Maps but none of them work flawlessly like Google Maps and you have to either give up on it or make concessions

Yeah I have been using yt ReVanced for years and you're right it supports both dearrow and sponsorblock but recently I have gotten rid of all Google apps on my phone except yt ReVanced and microg and I'm looking to finish the job

I switched to Outertune. Works fine
