Sorry mate Im user just like you. I dont recall what was that old 14.21.54 or what.

If that was the ancient YTV version that installed as Magisk module, then obviously you have to uninstall it as a module through the Magisk mngr/app

If not, you can try to uninstall it through the Vanced Manager

Or, you can manually delete the Vanced stuff from /data/adb by use of a root explorer like MiXplorer (or through TWRP, Advanced, File Mngr)

Hi! Perfect app!

I would love to download videos/audios in the app. It has the best design, its boring to change to another app for listening music offline
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I use Dendex Youtube downloader to download audio and/or video. I use the search and preview of Vanced to find the video, and then click on the share icon, which pulls up a list of apps able to receive the share (including my downloader), and clicking on Dendex's YTD opens up the downloader, with the video I watched in Vanced, read to go. ie I do not have to use the search and viewing featured in the downloader, it simply extends Vanced pretty seamlessly.

[Feature Request]

Hello Vanced Team,

You guys have created a wonderful app. Thank you for it.

I have feature request which is - an option to prevent auto play of offline download videos.

Use case - I like to read / post comments after the video is over. Currently what I do is when the video is about to finish, I have to constantly tap video screen to see how much time is left so that I can stop video playback 1-2 second before the end.

The annoying part is many times when I failed to react quickly and stop it, the app loads the next video, which I may not want to see/listen at that time. Back button does not always take me to the video I was watching before. On top of this extra tapping of the back button minimize the app.

So please do consider having such an option in future releases of the app.

Thank you 🙏

This vanced edition is very useful, thanks to developers a lot.

But since I have installed Youtube Vanced, I can't see the comment area anymore.How can I fix it? Thanks a lot at all.

Three dot menu, Settings, General, check that Restricted node is not enabled

I have disabled but it's doesn't work
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
I had the similar problem when I used too restrictive adblocker. Actually, I was using Private DNS: dns-family.adguard.com

With that, I was unable to disable Restrictive mode (YT complained that network forces my restrictions or something like that, it took me time to realize what was really the cause)

When I finally changed the Private DNS to the less restrictive: dns.adguard.com (later I even turned Private DNS off) I was able to disable Restrictive mode in the YT(V) Settings and comments started to show again

Google controls a lot from the server side.

Not just YouTube..

I have no clue how they pick and choose their test group(s) for one thing or another.

- I am signed up for quite a few Google beta(s) and do not get some changes before others do. ;)​

From your screenshot, if you scroll down pass the linked videos, do you see the comment section?

For me, the comment section used to be collapsed (Showed one comment and expanded when I selected the comment section) right below subscribe.

Now it is after all the linked videos and currently not collapsed.

Cheers. :cowboy:

I have two YouTube accounts

One for only education and another for everything.

When added second account on vanced microg

Then my education YouTube account showing recommendations that are based on other account. It is really annoying.

Then I removed my another added account. But still my education YouTube account showing all the recommendation from my other account. Everything messed up.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
this is *really* out there, but there was a recent general public "news" story, where someone who was careful to block their wifi and other obvious things, and did not search for anything along the lines, but they started to notice they were getting advertisements that were directed to their relatives/friends they visited. The theory goes (since its a black box of techniques) that google or such track the location of your device and start serving ads based on the interests targeted at people you have physically been close to. ie you hang around people interested in "Topic A", so chances are you are also interested in "Topic A". Now, your two accounts are on the same device, so would obviously be considered in very close proximity. I really understand this is a streatch.

[rant]I am still trying to workout why my home/desktop YT account repeatedly suggest Mine Craft videos. I have never watched any gamer videos or anything I would consider a gamer would also follow.[/rant]

edit:I live in a multistory apartment block, if this theory is correct, the kid above or below me may watch gamer vids. I hope his parents are OK with the more mature content I have viewed/search on (eg obscene stand up comics)...

[Android Apps and Games] :
What ?? Why would YouTube vanced need play services ???? It runs on microg. I think YouTube vanced really needs update. There hasn't been an update since a month or so.

[Android Apps and Games] :
Ohh, then I don't know the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
He explicitly stated he is using NONROOT (see his first post quoted above), Now, I have NO idea what I am talking about, but still, I am going to hazard a guess ;) , that the code that interfaces with MicroG (which normally interfaces with play services) is seeing an issue, and has a default response for that issue of "update play services". i.e. my *guess* is that its not MicroG reporting/stating the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
The problem is with the latest version of Vanced. Uninstall it and install version 15.43.32. It is the most bug free version yet.

Known bugs:

<SNIP>

As of v16.16.38, casting won't work due to an upstream microG bug.

I am guessing that is your problem.

I really need to get another Android TV box to test with.

[Android Apps and Games] Peter the Great:
Hello, from what I understand, YouTube is doing an A/B test for removing the dislike count on videos, and there is no way for a developer to access the dislike count. Is this true? Or would it be possible for YouTube Vanced to have the ability to "reshow" the dislike count.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
so let me get this straight you want vanced to "hack" in to the youtube server grab very specific probably encrypted information that youtube don't want to share with you and share it with you? is that the feature your asking for cause usually people ask for faster playback and stuff like that
[Android Apps and Games] Peter the Great:
Hello, please note that this forum is for civilised discussion, and gaslighting others or putting words in their mouth isn't appreciated.

I don't believe I asked for a feature, that would be disrespectful of me. I was asking for clarification (hopefully from someone who is knowledgeable about the codebase), as to what was and was not possible in regards to the dislike count on videos.

It's clear to me that you do not know the answer to my question (and that's ok), but since you don't know the answer to my question, the proper course of action was not to respond at all. No one is obligated to respond to me, however, if you don't have information to further the discussion, I'd recommend you do not respond, as it wastes my time.

Thank you for your understanding.
[Android Apps and Games] jons99:
don't be so heavy I was just kidding I'm sure that the vanced team will do everything in their power to hack in to the youtube server and get you this information since you asked so nicely

I don't know since when this problem is actually existing in my phone but what's the problem if links in video description or in comments can't be opened in vanced? I only get "This link can not be opened by vanced" message. In officially XT-App links get opened flawlessly.

I already found a issue report on github regarding this and someone posted a video how to solute the problem but for me it won't work as I don't have the options that are shown on a Samsung device there.

I'm using a Poco F3 with latest Xiaomi.eu ROM and last non-root Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDean1379:
A black line appears in the middle of every video. Updating or rolling back to previous versions does not solve the issue. Persistent in every video, regardless of settings. Full screen and not full screen. Attached is a screenshot showing the line. Little black line in the center of every video. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDean1379:
The swipe to control volume and brightness feature is with error.

Randomly the ability to swipe control these settings is gone until a restart. The feature is inconsistent. Thank you ❤
[Android Apps and Games] :
Are you on latest version of vanced ????
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDean1379:
I am. The problem is worse with the newer version. Sometimes it goes away on older versions but I'm yet to get a video absent of it.

Using an Android.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I use it on android 6 and everything works for me. Seems like it is buggy with newer android versions ????
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I am running the root version of Vanced v16.16.38 Build 01.51.00 on Android 11 on a Pixel 4a, and I just checked, and I did not see any black lines.
[Android Apps and Games] TylerDean1379:
Android A21 here.

I just figured something out:

When using version 16.16.38 (latest currently) I always have the little black line over the video.

When using version 16.14.34 (previous currently) I *usually* don't have the issue. When I do I must restart the app or sometimes the phone.

But when version 16.14.34 was the latest version, it always had the line just as the current latest does.

It seems when they made the latest version it somewhat fixed the previous version?? Because when 16.14.34 was the current version I had to go back to the version before that, 16.02.35 in order to get better results...

I'm not crazy.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Of course that it must be Android, what else?!

Btw, more important (I don't see anybody who today reported a problem mentions that), is it Vanced root or non-root version (because they are different things)

Btw, running on Android 11 (Xiaomi Mi 9T), root version 16.16.38 and no black line (and never had with the older versions as well -on A11, A10 or A9)

If it was better with the older version for you, you can uninstall and choose an older version when installing through Vanced Manager

Also, no problems for me to open links in the comments
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yeah I too never faced both problems. In fact, I never faced any issues except lag, but that was my device lagging not YouTube vanced. I have no root version.

[Android Apps and Games] Lodix:
Precisely, but no news about when it is going to be fixed ? It's been a long time now. Someone said before to use an older version of Vanced, but you mention that I also have to use an old version of MicroG? Which one ?

My phone gets extremely hot even if I put the app to sleep.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Again, read the older posts from people who use non-root and what they suggest. This is not a Telegram group, there is s Search and besides, follow the XDA guidelines: do your homework, read first before asking

Btw, if that is a MicroG issue, then IMHO ask on their side when they will fix their battery drain

Again, I'm using the root version, it has nothing with MicroG and its battery drain -I can not advise you about

I seem to come across issues similar to this with a lot of apps here.

This sounds like a default app issue to me, which can be very confusing. Go into YouTube Vanced in the app manager and see if your settings are the same as mine below. The most important I think is to have open supported links set to always ask (even though I don't think it does).

I lose service so the device files are needed.

When swipe for brightness is enabled videos shows (new one play or resume after pause) in 6 lvl of brighthness. Even if i changed it and after exit full screen and open full screen back it is 6 lvl again.

The option to follow the system brightness doesn't work with swipe brightness.

Please can you fix it and let the app remember my last brightness setting or/and follow the system?

Also please add the context menu to video (long tap) where we can choose copy link (with no time and work time), background play, minimize+pip, and other settings (if we don't want to use buttons on layout).

And if it's possible add a video speed more than x2.
[Android Apps and Games] 鸞鸞鸞:
Also would be great if you add an option to hide buttons next/previous video and let swipe on video to seek forward or back as in mx player.

And what I really need is a button of speed on the video. When i click on it a video speed up to x2. When I click again it slows back a video to x1.

To change speed from the menu is annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] DiamondJohn:
I dont use and have never used spotify either. or other streaming services; they all compress. I have over 3000 local music files I have converted my personal albums from over the past 30 years. Some of these are even FLAC. ie 1 to 1 audio quality of a CD, no compression at all. Some of my local music also includes songs that are not even found on Spotify or YouTube; they have never been publicly released. One soln does not fit everyone.

Thanks to your YT Vanced root Magisk module installation - it is easier to enable/disable Vanced root, etc

Just updated my YT Vanced root to v16.20.35:

- disabled the previous v16.16.38 module and rebooted

- updated YT app to v16.20.35

- replaced Vanced base.apk in v16.16.38 module with the Vanced base.apk (dark mode) for v16.20.35

- flashed and enabled the modified module

Attached:

1) YouTube-16_20_35.zip

To install or update YT app to v16.20.35 (Vanced root YT must be disabled or uninstalled).

Unzip, then install by adb command from PC:

adb install-multiple base.apk split_config.arm64_v8a.apk split_config.en.apk split_config.xxxhdpi.apk

(only for arm64 and English- otherwise install YT v16.20.35 as split/bundle from ApkMirror - on Google Play there is already a newer v16.22.35; apk files must be in the adb folder on PC)

2) YouTube-Vanced-16.20.35-Dark_Magisk.zip
