Well I guess that at least you got your solution... if v3.1 works for you then so be it.

But again:

- v3.1 what? Root (install as system app), no root, Xposed, themed/no theme?

- Notification on lockscreen? Reply on comment, download, playback... which notification?

- S7 running which Android version/rom?

- anything in the logcat in regards to your issue?

As far as I know, the changes made from 3.1 to 3.5 had nothing to do with notifications and/or mp3 downloads and were only regarding new version available nag screen, the OGYT new version check and the log reporting. So your issue seems suspicious... But more details are always better since others with similar config as yours could try to reproduce the problems and confirm if it is really an issue. If someone brings this up later, then we can say known issue and or collectively maybe find a solution.

Here on CM13 on my 2 phones, no such thing observed yet; at least with the little info you gave...

I've been using the modded youtube app that has ads blocked and background play enabled. https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900

to download the video or as mp3, i use either videoder or snaptube. works seamlessly.

Does this app provide any other advantages?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Why link to another app thread here? App might no longer be supported, but it's still against logic (if not xda rules).

As for your question: never thought of reading the OP (very first post of the thread)? That too is pretty much a Xda rule...

Do you think OGYouTube 3.5 will soon be unusable because it is based on an old YouTube version? Or is there any way to circumvent that "warning to update"?
[Android Apps and Games] KUSOsan:
Dang right after I found this app again after seeing it on my old modded S4 and now it's gone already. Thanks for all your work!!! Official YouTube app still sucks considering how long it's been around and this app was great for downloading videos and audio and the black theme was awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
The update screen was completely removed in version 3.5. So its gone for good. What might break though, is the downloading feature. Just like it did on version 2.0+ (IIRC). But I really hope it doesn't.

Is it possible to run this YouTube app without google play services?
[Android Apps and Games] ram4ufriends:
I don't see any problem in suggesting another XDA app when this app is notit supported any more..after all this is a community to help each other...isn't it?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
The app is not supported maybe, but it's still functional and the dev is still around.

And I've been around xda for long enough to see a problem when someone who hasn't even take a minute to read the app's instructions and features on the first couple posts of the thread (and obviously hasn't even tried the app) comes in and promote other apps and link to another thread [without anyone asking for alternatives...].

Sorry, but to me, that looks more like spam or someone trying to get a few quick 'thank' hits than someone really trying to be helpful and respectful of the developer's works and this thread/app users.

Anyhow, I'm no moderator and you do what you feel fit, but we clearly have different views on how xda community should behave and do to respect developers.
[Android Apps and Games] lvpre:
I agree. I think we should keep this afloat as long as possible. It is a great app and works really well. I like how everyone hits panic mode after 5 days of stopping development. I think older versions still work with the exception of the microg addition. I only use it for background though.... hasn't failed yet and YouTube red isn't available in all locations yet.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
The Xposed version, yes.

The other versions don't depend on Google Play Services, but they need Micro G instead (for signing in).

I want to know that does saving videos offline within the app is bug as it always says "failed to save oflline" in this mod.

or theirs​ some problem from my end?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
Someone has reported a similar issue 2 weeks ago running on Nougat, but that's about all I see...

The problem on your end is to not give enough info:

- rom/Android version;

- exact OGYT version including variant and how did you install it (as system app if root variant?) and is your original YT uninstalled/disabled?;

- how do you try to download videos (that red download btn or the white save) ?;

- are all OGYT permissions allowed?;

- have you tried to change the save directory or not?

- have you tried to uninstall reboot and install again?

- any other settings you've changed after a clean install;

- can you provide a log of the failure?
[Android Apps and Games] ishuya:
Thanks for thr reply. Here are the details as follows-

-Rom- Validus OS/Android 7.1.2

-OGYT Ver- v3.5 rooted variant, didn't install as system app, maybe here the problem. Original YT uninstalled.

-I tried with that white button. Downloading feature works perfectly, with all other feature​. Problem is with "Save Video as offline"

-All permissions allowed for the app.

-Tried changing the save directory. Still same issue.

-Tried uninstall, reboot & again install with all permissions.

-No settings changed after clean install.

-Will try installing as system & will report back soon with logs, if the issue persist.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
That white button is a Youtube Red option... (or a way to get you to subscribe to it). So just don't use it... But to be honest, I can't seem to find where do you press to get that "Save Video as offline": screenshots help also..

Problem solved then?
[Android Apps and Games] ishuya:
Tried installing as system apps. Still the same problem. That feature works in official Youtube app. For reference, screenshot is attached.
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
Where did you get that "save offline" feature? :confused:

Maybe its country dependent or something......but anyways, why would you need the save offline feature if the downloading feature is working fine? Don't they basically do the same thing?
[Android Apps and Games] otonieru:
Its been there for like six months, maybe.

Dont get it wrong though. Saving it offline doent mean you can simply pull the file and play it on your TV. Or play it on video player like MX or VLC. Or move it to PC.

It just make you able to watch the same video (on youtube app) without streaming it again.

While the point of downloading it totally, for most ppl, i believe, is to re-share it somewhere else or play it elsewhere. This is why google against it. Because people can take someone vids, reupload it, and might get more views.. :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
I figured that's what it would be like. It probably saves the video from the already cached version of it, so it's only readable by the YouTube app.

I remember reading about YouTube Go (for India) on the portal some time ago. And a feature of this version of YouTube allowed the user to "share" a video with their friend(s) using a Bluetooth connection. Exactly how it works, I don't know (caus I don't live in India)......but maybe Google isn't completely against downloading content, they just want to have full control of how it's done....thus the cracking down on third party YouTube Downloaders like OGYT. But as I said, I'm not totally sure how this "share" feature works.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
From what I could find on this, saving video for offline viewing has been around since back in 2014. BUT:

- has been very localised (India, Malaysia and the Philippines mainly);

- only leaves you 48 hours to watch 'stored' (since it is not really 'saving') videos;

- it's ad-based, so you have to view an ad before each video;

- and not every video in the said regions will be made available for that 'offer';

- and next time you reconnect, Youtube collects the stats on your viewing times and how many times you've seen the ads (cause that's basically the idea: store temporarily, but people will see more ads).

So really, I just see no point of wasting time and energy trying to use that when OGYT offers so much more: faster downloads (since you can have up to 4 simultaneous sources and a queue of downloads), more quality options (including audio only), no ads to watch, every videos available and no viewing time restrictions...

And really, that's how I use OGYT most of the time anyway: download, watch later and delete. So I think we can all sleep with peace of mind in regards to this "bug"...

Can anybody please share the latest version of OGyoutube?
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
I've had the intention to do it at some time (before I knew development would stop), but after considerations:

1- The dev "shutdown" his site to stay out of troubles with YT/Poogle; so why should I go and risk anything similar or even make XDA be in a similar situation (even by just posting a download link here)?

2- I don't use the root version because I like being able to run both OGYT and the official YT if I ever need/want to. So really, I don't see much incentive to use the root version and even less so, to spend half a day (or more) making a black version for some "dudes".

As for your last sentence: no thanks, I don't use those apps. I believe that the Team Black Out has a blacked out Instagram and as for the OG modded one, I've already gave him a contact name of someone who 'might' be able to work on a black theme for it. Besides, any other requests? Wash your car? Do your laundry? Lol.

I get that people like black apps, but it amazes me how people can just sit there doing nothing and ask something like that. Do you have an idea on how many hours of work and headaches theming one app can be? I've mentioned half a day for the root version above because that is essentially the exact same app with just a few hundreds files with a couple lines of code changed. But doing a brand new app could sometimes take all my free time for a couple of weeks...

So please go try to theme one and you might think twice next time you want to make such a request...

[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
The real idea to get from this is that Xda has a search thread function (on pretty much any platform/app you use) ...

3 of the first 4 search results on "save offline" were relevant answers to your question (and the latest one just on the previous page from your post)...

Read and search before asking: THAT's the idea.

(^_-)
[Android Apps and Games] digitman xxx:
The real idea to get beside yours is, that Xda has the most helpful people ever we can found in any forums even any place. exactly that is what make someone asking a question on the go hoping in quick answer. already he knew that he will get the help

you can believe that i already read this post 2 days ago but this was not shine in my mind when question.

but you all right :good:

again Got the idea and I will take this seriously.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
I don't want to drag on this, but if you read that answer, then why did you ask thag question again then?

Besides, asking 'questions on the go' is basically against rule number 1 of Xda:

https://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81

Which everyone agrees to abide to when signing up to Xda.

And the more people ignore that rule and ask before reading/searching, the more people with good answers get fed up and just stop giving answers or just leave Xda altogether.

So yes Xda is great to get quick answers, but let's try to keep it that way...
[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
No, that's definitely and entirely not the case here...
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
I can the same about the post you are quoting: definitely and entirely not all accurate. And that person should not bring unfounded points forward without knowing all the facts. I'm not saying that the idea of the post is wrong, but talking about money involved (fine), real identity of OG, signing something...: those are all suppositions.
[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
It was stated as (probable) suppositions in the first place, so I don't see a problem. What's definitely wrong - and that's all I was saying with any certainty - is that it had anything to do with terms of service or that google doesn't want people to download stuff (yes, they might not like it but they have no legal authority to enforce it because it's not copyright law).

Is there a way/hack to enable tap to pause anywhere on the screen when watching a video? As an example the video app Mx Player has that functionality

If not has that feature been requested yet?

It's very handy when watching repair tutorials because as it is you have to tap the screen to pulls up the center pause button and then you have to tap exactly on that to pause, by the time that's been done you are well past where you wanted to pause, you have to rewind etc, pita!
