So today I get a notification saying if I want an ad-free experience, I have to contribute some of my idle device's resources or deal with ads. It says it won't use the resources if the battery is too low. Otherwise you have to pay a premium. This app sure is going down hill from the developer. The app picks up all of these live songs which come out screeching. You can listen to one song from a band and then the next one is live and you hear the audience yelling. So annoying!
[Android Apps and Games] Sagarking:
Can anybody explain what is this luminati idle resources I feel scared
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
Where is the developer for this app? This is the most ridiculous thing ever!
[Android Apps and Games] Bullfrog098:
Can anyone fill me in on why this has started happening
[Android Apps and Games] lucaio_:
I'm having the same problem when i try to use it.

Google protect warns that application could send spam
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I've just received a notification from the app about Google's warning. I should update but no update found...

EDIT: update available now.
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
Oh so sorry about that, please uninstall current version :p
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
updated apk file. Please uninstall current version. :p Thanks for your feedback :good:
[Android Apps and Games] BKR APPS:
I will just try the app, it's awesome and with a great design, thank you man for your app :D
[Android Apps and Games] reflush:
Great app! Just what i was looking for. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Android.fan:
Thanks for the update. Works like a charm. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Sczar:
I updated through the app it self. And it worked great. I did not need to uninstall the previous version. :)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Hi, the app is pretty awesome.

And it works well on my phone (why shouldn't it? arm AOSP 6.0 on an arm64 device (Doogee X5 Pro), however it just crashes on launch on my friends phablet (an ASUS FonePad 7 K012, running stock 4.4.2, x86 platform).
[Android Apps and Games] kevwo:
i think the Google drive link goes to a completely different apk....unless i clicked on a spam link
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
Yes you are right, I usually update version of the apk in Google drive as a test flight, it's latest build.

What happen with the apk in Drive? :p
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
Your feedback is so useful, but hard to me to debug in this situation, there are no error logs.

:p If the device of your friend is rooted, it will be able to access the error log files under folder:

/data/data/com.kapp.youtube/files/
the file name should be some things like that: *****.stacktrace

So... could you sent it to me?

Thanks:good:
[Android Apps and Games] kevwo:
i got some APK called APKIT i think....idk why i still installed it hahaha
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
:laugh: what the.............

My mistake, I updated, could you try again!
[Android Apps and Games] kevwo:
its all good, i tried one of the other links now and it works great! should be very useful when driving
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Unfortunately, his phablet is not rooted.

To say the truth, I had tried to convince him to root, however, he wasn't interested.

He may let me boot TWRP on his device, so I may be able to collect the logs that way.

Or perhaps via adb.

Or, although I do not want to encumber you, perhaps you can have the logs save under the app's folder on the internal storage partition.
[Android Apps and Games] jlobo912:
Hi khangneovip, excellent work you've done here. I would like to make a suggestion. Not sure if it's possible but could you add support for equalizer? I own a Oneplus one and I love maxxaudio (not sure if you know but it's an equalizer) but unfortunately it's not system wide and prefer maxxaudio to v4a. It would be amazing if I could get even better sound with this feature. Thanks anyway for your hard work. :)

Do i need to have a rooted phone to make it work?

Cause it's not working on my yureka
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
No. Did you have a problem while running my app? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
Oh, I see. What's the problem?

1. You can not install my app?

2. My app is installed but not working: cannot play music, search online,...?
[Android Apps and Games] mittalanmol22:
Yes, when ever i try to download or play audio it says 'can not parse youtube url'
[Android Apps and Games] khangneovip:
This happen when "share" from YouTube app right?

Please update latest version of YouTube app (google), and let me known that it works or not.
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
I'm sure that all has to do with his stupid ads thing he added in there. See above of how the app uses phone battery and resources when it's at idle.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalDreamer:
I don't think it's the ads

It's possible that somebody made a modified version of the current version and added a bit of the code that actually sends text messages to a number (it's a scam thing that I've seen it happen) and the Google scanner picked up on one malicious version that had the same version number and started going off for all of the versions.
[Android Apps and Games] Jing Arjay87:
I think it's the really suspicious Luminati proxy network thing that the dev added that can remove ads in exchange for running some suspicious proxy network in background. In the latest update it got removed.
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello

May be the suspicious proxy network was removed, but version and the change notes are incoherent.

I prefer to pay directly rather than to use a such suspicious mechanism but developer ignore the bugs I pulled up (it's impossible to build a play list from song on SD card).

Why to pay if the developer ignore the bugs I share ?
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
It's not a modified version when it was downloaded from here lol. Even if you install the latest version which seems to be 3.7.0, Google Play still warns you. I don't think the developer removed everything as far as ads go. He may have taken something out and added something in.....who knows. But I agree with phvo. The developer needs to offer a paid version ONLY if he pays attention to the bugs present and takes out the BS fluff such as ads and whatever else.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidFire:
Who knows what our devices are being used for while it's being used through this extremely suspicious proxy, could easily be used for illegal activities, I uninstalled the app immediately the second I seen this!
[Android Apps and Games] dsatrya:
Android app: when I go to Discover > Library > My Channel > Videos, how to make all my videos, even with Visibility=Unlisted, to appear ? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sooperior:
This has become a very dangerous app. No source code, includes a strange proxy by surprise and right after this change google reports that out phone are being used for spamming (obviously through this new function).

I'm uninstalling it, I don't wanna see my phone involved in suspicious traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] simeoni:
If I understand correctly from the apk contents, the latest version (3.7.0) has no content of Luminati compared to the earlier version (3.6.9).

You can also disable background data in app info in Settings. There was no background data usage for YMusic last night in my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
It's not so obvious ! Since there is incoherence between version and changelog.

By the way, the n° of version is not the same when you switch language (3.70 english vs 3.70.1123 french)

That is mean that the suspicious mechanism is removed for a version and not for the other ?

Strange!

I repeat : I prefer to pay 4 euro to the developer rather than to have a suspicious mechanism for a 'free' app.

But that implies that the developer take into account the reported bugs ( I repeat I can't build a playlist from song saved on to scard)
[Android Apps and Games] Renegade1504:
I just downloaded the actual version from homepage. After installing and rescanning Google does not complain anymore. Version is now 3.7.0
[Android Apps and Games] CrowZero:
Some news?
[Android Apps and Games] gigel20007:
I have downgraded to the version before that, 3.6.2.1124 (shown in app) / 3.6.2.4210 (show by app inspector)

it nags me with this screen now, but otherwise I get no battery drain from it nor any other issues. well I have NoRoot Firewall that cuts most unwanted traffic going out (I whois lookup each request).
[Android Apps and Games] simeoni:
Verified with NetGuard no-root firewall and latest version of YMusic. It does NOT connect to anywhere while in background.
[Android Apps and Games] G33kHead:
Man, its all i was needed. All I was looking for! So so so many thanks yet i cant thank u enough. You should publish it on playstore!
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
How to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] G33kHead:
The mp3 files don’t actually downloaded in original 320kbps form though the download options were selected for 320kbps! Care to fix this, mate?
[Android Apps and Games] StimmyPizza:
So from what the recent comments are saying, this app is utilizing unknown resources, as well as utilizing resources for Luminati proxy etc. If that's the case you should uninstall this app right away. It is using you ip and bandwidth in the background while the device is idle as a proxy via Luminati. Luminati is the service that Mobdro sold millions of users info to. (Mobdro, a huge IPTV app, was recently shut down and the creator arrested due to these reasons)

I highly encourage getting rid of this right away. Youtube Vanced may be a proper alternative to this app btw.
[Android Apps and Games] simeoni:
Try with NetGuard no-root firewall yourself and see what it is doing.
[Android Apps and Games] alaslipknot:
the last update broke "Watch History" whenever i open it i get:

Watch history is empty - reload

and for "watch later" (which i never use) i get:

Oops! Error! PlaylistFetcher failed with error code 2 null - reload

how can i rollback please ? the "watch history" is crucial.

To those who purchased the key, is it true that it only works on the device which it was purchased with? The unlock key doesn't work on another device? Any idea what the yplugin is for?
[Android Apps and Games] TioCareca:
The key will work on any device you got the google account that you use to buy it.

Yplugin is for unlock some features, but i really don't see anything different without the plugin...
[Android Apps and Games] kokoronikui:
Thanks. Just needed to ask as there were a few users who purchased the key gave feedback that the key only works on one device. The developer did reply with the same answer you provided though

[Android Apps and Games] TheKaser:
Hi, is there a way to like a song you're listening to and automatically add it to a "thumbs up playlist" like it was possible with Google Play Music? From the notification I mean, not having to open the app, and select add to playlist.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello,

I try several time to alerte developer about a issue concerning playlist.

All my songs are on SD card. But I can't build a playlist from songs on SD card.

I try several other player and I can build playlist from songs on sd card.

So it's a bug from Ymusic.

Its very enoying bug ! 😥

May be it's not the place to report a bug.

How to reach developer ? How to report a bug ?

Please developer, would you be so nice to correct this very enoying bug.

Best regard
[Android Apps and Games] qcmarco:
Is it a bug that if I close the App first then close the notification control center, the next time I open the App and play the music, the notification center won't appear? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jerome999:
hi, since last month I was looking for a youtube video player application in the background that didn't work and today I just found it, it's amazing and I'm very happy with this application, it makes it easy for me to stream videos only listening to sound. previously I used a browser on rytmp3 so it could play in the background and was a little tricky. finally moved to this app. thank you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] 35787:
I want to stream the music directly via dlna to my Smarttv: Just using ymusic as a "relay/proxy"
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
Does anyone know how this app decides on random music it plays? I type in a song to play and after that song it does endless tracks of live music with everyone clapping so loud in the background, it's screeching. I'm trying to get regular music, not anything live. How does the app determine what it plays?
[Android Apps and Games] koshikas:
has nothing got to do with the app, it merely plays the "YouTube Mix" playlist (feature of youtube) for the song you played first. try to stick to non-live songs , if you hate it
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
I guess it just follows YouTube's algorithm. And as long as you don't sign in, the playlist will go "rogue" (by Google's design). When logged in: keep disliking live tracks and it will learn you don't want to hear those. You may need to reset some data in your account first. It doesn't always work as desired either. After playing a couple of silly tunes to entertain some kids it'll also take into account you're into that. That's what 'Incognito' is for in YT, I don't know if YMusic supports this. I don't use it for this purpose. But I'm quite sure YMusic doesn't do the "choosing" here.

Edit: ninja'd by @koshikas 😁
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
None of the songs I pick or play have been live music. All are just regular. Then after that first track, it goes off and starts playing live music.
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
yeah, that makes sense. I guess I can just sign in (gotta see where), otherwise it will go rogue again. I've never chose to play live music so I guess it just does what it wants.
[Android Apps and Games] hubertchan:
Best YouTube offline player
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Care to share which song(s) this happens with? I'm not signed in so I'd like to give it a go, just to see if we get the same results.
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
Lipstick promises by George Ducas is one of the songs. It plays that and then goes into a bunch of either live music or talk shows afterwards.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Nope. Made this playlist:

George Ducas - Lipstick promises

Blake Shelton - Nobody But You

Mark Collie - Even The Man In The Moon Is

Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel

BlackHawk - I'm Not Strong Enough To Say No

Kane Brown - Good as You

Brooks & Dunn - Neon Moon

Jordan Davis - Slow Dance In A Parking Lot

Midland - Burn Out

Brantley Gilbert - Bottoms Up

More of this horrible music... ^_^

So nothing live on my end. Interesting... I started off with https://ymusic.io/watch?v=AfPZgLqoIIE
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:

I don't like the official videos. They usually have background junk going on or talking. Just want the music.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Still not being populated with live stuff.

Spoiler content hidden.

So I guess it's random.. Unless anyone else gets the exact same results. Who knows what telemetry it's all based upon. Well, these people seem to have figured it out. Anyway, we're straying a bit off topic here. Still, an interesting exercise!

Dear all!

How can I add the downloaded youtube video clips to an self created playlist?

I dont find the option "add to" in Download manager menu.

I dont find the options in Library/Playlists "add to files to this folder/playlist". I cant edit my playlists.

Can you help me?

[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
There is a playlist feature in the Library. There you can add songs by tapping the three dots next to them.

[Android Apps and Games] Zoli1972:
Hi,

for several years I was a very satisfied user of YMusic.

Unfortunately, it has more and more issues with long mixes, stopping them and skipping over to the next track in my playlist, it looks like, it does this for no reason and it's reproduceable. It does that on the same track (let's say a DJ set), but at different timestamps.

I assumed in the first place, that it does this when it gets internet disconnected or loses connection to the servers, but I found out that it's not the case.

I hope it'll be fixed in near future.

Zoli
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Care to share the detailed steps? Perhaps to assure a clean assessment it's best to first clear app data (or reinstall) and make sure you're on the latest version (currently 3.7.21135).

Why does the album art still looks small & outdated? Iy doesn't utilise the space at all. Isn't this supposed to be a music player? View attachment 5467543

Does anyone know where the history of all the songs looked up are located at? I have all of these songs I've looked up on my old phone and trying to import them into my new phone and wondering if there was an easier way than to manually type them all in again to create a history?
[Android Apps and Games] -DDD-:
Look in your Settings/Download, Default should be internal Storage / Ymusic
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
yeah, that doesn't have any history lookups in there.....just songs I've downloaded and saved to the internal storage.
[Android Apps and Games] koshikas:
your best bet would be to see a way of backing up app data(for y-music) and restoring it on the other phone. however since it is another phone, how android can treat app data from another phone is issue that remains to be seen
[Android Apps and Games] phillthedrill:
Yeah, it backed up the Ymusic app with Samsung SmartSwitch and the songs I had on there were backed up and transferred, just not the history lookup.
[Android Apps and Games] spanky310:
Hi I have the following questions that for the life of me I can't figure out a solution for:

1) Is there a way have a list of Youtube channels that I can quickly access that let me select the channel and then see the list of their videos?

Right now I have to use a playlist of a video of each channel that I want to listen to when I'm driving and then everytime I want to get to the channel I have to launch a video from that channel and then click the three dot then click to "Video details and comments" then click on the channel icon then I'm a the channel's main page.

2) Is there a way to disable auto play so when the video ends it won't start playing something else?

Sorry if the above has already been answered somewhere in this thread.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Have you tried the YT Music (Beta) implementation in YMusic? I haven't used this myself as I use Vanced YT Music instead but I'm guessing that should solve both your issues.

Why cover art still 16:9 ?
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Doesn't for me. Lot of screenspace left over isn't it. And it's just a matter of ui. And the app itself ain't open source. What a world this app's living in...xd
[Android Apps and Games] br54:
Looks good to me I download songs for free..
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
NewPipe, which is open source & downloads the same way.

I appreciate dev & his work but, I don't actually see the point of this app.

As a music player,

> No full screen 1:1 cover art

> No music sorting anywhere

> No lyric support

As a YouTube alternative (discover)

> Shorts still landscape

> Why is subscription list limited to 100?

> Default open behaviour always makes a random platlist of 24 videos

I don't understand how I can be productive with this. My main player is Shuttle+ which also has QuickLyric support. And newpipe for downloading.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Is there a way to have multi-selection on the search results?

I want to choose all and download them all, or at least have them all into the playlist (to play directly).
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Dude, somebody could've coded & PR these features, if the app was open source. Unfortunately, some devs can't bear foss nature & think this is some sort of competition.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Probably. I just asked if it exists as I couldn't find how to do it.

Is it still being updated though?

Even if it's a single developer, updates are always nice...
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
He kinda updates app when "he wanted to". Check the changelog updates & their features. Who knows he might even abandon this in the future, if he didn't get the support & donations.

Open sourcing will lead to many possibilities, but it's never gonna happen for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I see. Wonder what will be added next.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fachicken1:
I just discovered this app and I have a few questions I would like to know about. I know Youtube vanced music is going to probably shutdown because of the recent events, but upon installing this app, it is asking a lot of permissions that sort of gave me a red flag unless I know why this app needs to access my phone calls, photos, location and etc.? Isn't that a bit excessive to know that much information for an app that only streams music? Youtube vanced never asked any permissions as well newpipe.
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Vanced YT also has 'Files and media' permission and I get YMusic needs this for downloads but phone and location permissions may be overkill, (Vanced) YT still pauses when a call comes in. Perhaps there's a newer way of programming how an app handles this? I doubt we'll get any feedback from @khangneovip as forum activity was "Last seen Sep 29, 2021". Perhaps ask via contact@ymusic.io? It's a good question.
[Android Apps and Games] MPK99:
Nice to see that dev added Sponsorblock XD.
[Android Apps and Games] H7p3r10n:
Ymusic is great, especially the YouTube Music UI still marked as beta. I use it since a few weeks instead of Vanced YTM cause Ymusic can play at CD quality full 20KHz bandwidth (aka MP3 320kbps) while Vanced YTM at its best setting is limited to AAC 128 LC with a 15KHz frequency hard cutoff.

I would like to get The YT Music UI (beta) at startup in YMUSIC...
