Vanced build bugs

I have been having some weird playback issues ever since the builds became 'Vanced' builds. I'd like to state that I'm using a OnePlus one running 7.1.2 via TugaROM.

In the pre-vanced builds, I could watch a 1080p60 video with no playback issues.

However, since the Vance's builds, there are some issues with playback. Firstly, if I leave the VP9 codec disabled, the highest resolution I can access is 720p60, but it plays smoothly.

If I force enable the VP9 codec, 1080p60 becomes available, however it is an unwatchable slideshow. Not only that, but 720p60 also becomes framey and jittery, and I get vertical screen tears. None of these problems were present in the pre-vanced builds.

I don't know how to access any logs to post to see if the problem can be fixed, however I will do what I can if you are able to tell me what you need.
[Android Apps and Games] briskyy:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] Michaelandhistab:
Possible bug. The app crashes and quits when opening 360° videos. I'm using the latest vanced version with default settings.
[Android Apps and Games] jackblk:
I'm having the same problem. I did some research last night and this is what i think that might happen.

1. Currently without VP9 forced, i (and many others) can only see 720p60 as max resolution.

This is

NOT

the iYTBP's fault. I tried to test the newest version of Youtube (not modded) and it is still the same. I checked on Youtube subreddit, there are some having the same problem. Google is at fault and they will fix it soon. This is a common thing that happened in the past.

2. If you force VP9 Codec and try out 1080p60 only to experience lag, slow framerate (like me!)... It's because your phone does NOT support VP9 properly. Check out VP9 compatible chip list: http://kodi.wiki/view/Android_hardware#Compatible_chipsets
[Android Apps and Games] Wabisuke5:
I had a feeling that was the issue with VP9, but that's good to know that the lack of 1080p is a YouTube side issue.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidHtc101:
Looking at that vp9 list hardly any phones support it
[Android Apps and Games] blakemagical:
Yup. Now it's working all fine :)

[Android Apps and Games] v.konvict:
you have to flash the app using the installer
[Android Apps and Games] Michaelandhistab:
I installed it using the mod arter zip through TWRP. Is there another way to do it?
[Android Apps and Games] Mysterion1:
It's hidden somewhere in the thread. But hey...don't let anyone know - it's a secret.
[Android Apps and Games] Michaelandhistab:
I tried the magisk version as well, and 360 vids aren't not working either.
[Android Apps and Games] jaum20:
I'm getting update notifications from playstore even with the specific dpi version installed

I'm using

armeabi-v7a)(240dpi)(red-black-v2.6)-vanced
[Android Apps and Games] cl0g:
The dpi version does not hide new updates, if there IS a new version for youtube.

If you use latest 12.29.56 (vanced), there is an update for 12.29.57 (official)
[Android Apps and Games] -Deco-:
Glad I could help ;).
[Android Apps and Games] jaum20:
Oh, I see

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sennamagger:
In 360° videos FC, any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] shuli81:
Best solution is to search the thread.
[Android Apps and Games] geekmanoj:
The module never activates. I tried the magisk version and it says module will be activated on next reboot. I tried rebooting several time. But youtuube app isn't showing at all. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Mysterion1:
The issue is caused by magisk and not by the module. Search at the official magisk thread for a solution (i posted detailed instructions to solve this problem)

Or try to install the apk with the zip installer file which is much easier and takes less time.
[Android Apps and Games] braindead444:
I would just like to add my two cents on this new update or the Vanced version. The forced VP9 codec option when used on my galaxy s6 actually makes some videos look better, especially for videos that are native to the 1440p screen. I thought that this has to be some kind of bull ****tery to the claim of better looking videos but you know subjectively they look better ... The new option to not have to update the microg app every time I want to install an update is an added bonus. Keep up the phenomenal work.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
MicroG is always the same version.

You don't have to install it again.

If there is a new update to microG app, I will explicitly announce it.
[Android Apps and Games] Weedalot:
I've tried installing via magisk module and downloaded from both media fire and afh version 12.29.56 however when I checked the version in app info it shows its 12.27.53. Been at it all day long, can anyone please let me know how to fix it
[Android Apps and Games] teja2495:
Found a bug

When videos are downloaded using youtube offline and when I open the app without data connection, the app keeps on loading. It doesn't even show the offline videos. But when I connect to the Internet for few seconds and then turn it off. Then I can access my offline videos. That's the only thing otherwise its perfect.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

After I offline some videos and close the app. Later when I open the app again without data connection. The app keeps on showing the loading animation. It doesn't even show the offline videos. It shows the videos only after I turn on data connection. This is the only thing which isn't working. Rest of the app works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] jaum20:
Me neither...:crying:

## Hopefully the search button will find this post, since others couldn't find help. :confused:

(I believe most recently https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73230333&postcount=2745 )

TOP SECRET instructions. :silly:

- .apk is a compressed file, most file or archive managers will open it. -

Copy from inside the modded YouTube.apk

/lib/armeabi-v7 to system/app/YouTube/lib/arm

or

/lib/arm64_v8a to system/app/YouTube/lib/arm64

Set permissions

0644 YouTube.apk

0755 /YouTube | /YouTube/lib | /YouTube/lib/arm

0644 /YouTube/lib/arm/ALL OF THE .so files

or

0755 /YouTube | /YouTube/lib | /YouTube/lib/arm64

0644 /YouTube/lib/arm64/ALL OF THE .so files

Cheers. :)

Note :

Awhile back, months ago and before I switched to iYT, I ran into problems myself.

I had to set the .so files to 0755 and it solved my issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
So what do we do now ? Can we have a no-VP9 Vanced variant for devices that don't support VP9 codec ?

Seems to work good on resurrection remix on the HTC 10. Only issue is I had to remove my substratum theme or it would force close YouTube. Any thoughts as to why? Not a big deal but Mr. Smiley app allowed background playback and a themed YouTube app whereas this doesn't.
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
Swift Black works fine for me. It's possible that you have to remove the theme and apply it again.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnCorleone:
Thanks! I overwrote the existing one in the System/app/YouTube folder and fixed the permissions and it's working great but if yours is the new update version i will do it again, thanks!

The Play Store is prompting me to update to 12.10.60. Obviously that isn't going to happen :)

[MENTION=4085448]Master_T[/MENTION] : is this project a 'one-off', or are you planning regular updates? Just curious :svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] Master_T:
I want to update it, but I can't seem to find updated APKs for the adblocked version (has arter97 stopped updating them?)

If they don't pop up during the week I'll probably update the normal version
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
As arter97 writes in his OP he's only updating when he has time to do so, from what I read he's quite busy with PA..

Is there a actual need to update? Or is just for being as up to date as possible? For me it still works great, even 10 clean flashs later..

Thanks for this mod by the way :good:
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
Some people seem to be getting ads. I guess that's why.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
I don't think so, wanam the xposed module dev (xposed adaway) closed his thread recently and acknowledged that issue and stated reason not yet identified, so it's not a simple update issue, it's unfortunately much more complex...

IMHO

One assumption is that Google launched new strategies against adblockin, servers sided or what ever the possibilities are, I for myself never had even one commercial, not on iYTBP or arter97's, so maybe it's even location based.. Idk
[Android Apps and Games] Nosferatu.:
There's a save icon now if clicked gives option to try free. Will that stay free being a hacked apk or not worth clicking?
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Very clever! LMAO

You may be right because no ads here too! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
I can't believe I just did this ?

I was using arter's adfree Youtube, and was planning to use this instead, but out of laziness it never happened, until yesterday when I replaced his apk by this iYTBP one and set the correct permissions, and now it's working without a reboot in the process !

I was just surprised at Youtube not stopping after I pressed the home button and got the notification controls instead...

This used to happen on my old 4.4 Moto X when I installed system apps by pushing them to /system/app and they worked right away...

If someone has an explanation for this I'd love to hear it !
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
It's magic! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Balthazard:
So I switched to this magical mod and I'm using the Magisk version (x64 with adblock). And using the provided link a couple of pages back to detach YouTube from Google Play. All is working splendid except for one tiny problem!

I have this window (see attachment) popping up every few minutes. Could someone help me out with this?
[Android Apps and Games] Ishtaar:
I don't know if the modded apk and the Xposed module work the same way, but i can say that on Marshmallow with Xposed i don't have ads, while on Nougat with the modded app i have them.
[Android Apps and Games] jt1998:
no ads, and background playing correctly with modded app only, no xposed, latest PN with magisk for root
[Android Apps and Games] nirogu325:
Why? It's toggleable. VP9 comes off by default. Can't use it or don't want it? Turn it off in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] shegeloaf:
No problems here. This is a neat app. THE ability to download videos will be added bonus. But im now fused I just use SNAPTUBE for that.
[Android Apps and Games] shanemod:
I like the app but i found the app have 2 problem.

1- ads not removed and before play video there will be video ads

2- offline save dont work

Re-read post #2 carefully.
[Android Apps and Games] DEVILOPS 007:
Oh my god! Search the thread before posting about the same stuff other people have. Get a logcat or try installing YouTube differently like with the flashable zip and it has been stated that offline save doesn't work by many people already.

Using latest 12.29.56v all videos stuck in portrait mode when tilting phone when I use the the screen expand mode and return to video menus, app is stuck in landscape mode ?? Have wiped cache and data still same problem and my phone is on auto rotate.
[Android Apps and Games] anonimo95:
I did everything and it worked perfectly (mi5 with lineage) for 2-3 days, until I think youtube updated... any way to block the updates for youtube? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] oux:
just uncheck auto update in play store! can't believe ppl really want apps to auto update
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
So you want us to add a new set of batch without VP9 mod to the production because you are too lazy to turn off VP9 in the Settings ?

Haha!

I like this post but I found this post have 3 problem.

1- He didn't read the OP and doesn't even bother to have a look at it.

2- He didn't search the thread before posting.

3- This post does not meet the minimum criteria for reporting bug.

Hence ignored.
[Android Apps and Games] ALPHAWolf96:
I just can't believe how people can comment anything about the app without even giving a single read to the FIRST TWO POSTS! The installation is dead simple guys! Just get your desired apk and vanced-installer zip and flash it in recovery. It's been a more than two months since I'm following this thread and I never had a single problem installing the app. And if you're at xda already, I believe you definitely know how to just do a single swipe in recovery mode. You getting ads, give devs the necessary details and logs cause they don't own your device to figure everything out. They're are doing all of this for free in their precious time. They got life as well. So just be respectful and encouraging to them instead of just posting "AAH ADs ARE BACK!". Idek how many times this same thing needs to posted again and again in the thread.

And for God's sake, use the search button! It's there for a purpose!
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Offline video is working perfectly fine as stated in the 2nd post.

I see 2 main reasons why it doesn't work for some people.

1. They are not using the latest Vanced version because only the Vanced version has the fix.

2. They are not in the region where it is supported. (As of support.google.com, offline videos is only enabled in Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Libya, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, and Yemen)

You can confirm the working of offline video by using a vpn service to connect to any one of the above said countries.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Great. Just installed the red/black vanced version a few days back, but now that I feel like installing it on my other device... There's no vanced themed YouTube for armV7 api 16? Why's missing? You know, if there's something that matches perfect with black YouTube, that should be the KitKat OS! Please consider us!
[Android Apps and Games] mimo.aridi:
Hey guys i have an xperia z2 running RR 7.1.2. I've always used arter installer and now the vanced install plus magisk modules. All work perfect and actually I've never had YouTube ads neither video ads nor layout ads. Thanks a lot to this great team.
[Android Apps and Games] Younex:
From what I've seen, people who installed the vp9 mod have video capped at 720p when vp9 is disabled. Some said that it's Google's fault but clearly installing the mod plays a role here too, I'm not saying that the mod is what limits videos to 720, but perhaps it's the way Google servers see devices with the mod installed instead of regular YouTube.

Anyway I guess I'll just give it a go and see for myself ^^

Btw I never meant to say anything negative about your work, you guys rock and it's amazing these mods exist. Keep it up !
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Nope! Not at all.

It's a bug from google side not from ours.

And NOPE! Google can't see our VP9 mod when it is disabled/enabled.

If Google servers is able to detect ANY mods it will just reject the whole service instead of capping video quality at 720p.

Is there anyway to force the new layout? I've been on the old layout for a couple of days... I'm using the Magisk module, I have tried the /system/app way and it still uses old one.

When I update it via play store it goes to new one but I lose the ad blocks etc (which is expected), unistalled and opened youtube and it was still old layout :(

Since there's no rooted api 16 (arm), I'm using non rooted, themed, generic, vanced version. It crashed once, but now it seems stable, though I have noticed this (attachment): "add to" option shows dark icon and prompt is basically white over white, yet letters are barely visible. I've noticed this kind of thing when theming Whatsapp. Something just refuses to be themed. Can this be fixed here?

[Android Apps and Games] KaMyKaSii:
Well, it may actually be a problem on the Google side, but it can also be from the mod. From what I know all video in 1080p or higher is only provided in the VP9 codec, nothing of H264. From what I understand the mod makes all videos regardless of the resolution use VP9 as well as YouTube Desktop, rather than 720p+ as it is on YouTube mobile. Maybe you are using a logic like "completely disable VP9 if VP9 toggle is disabled" and in that case it makes sense that resolutions greater than 720p don't appear. Just to make it clear I'm not criticizing, I just want to contribute. Thank you and keep up the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
