Feature request "stretch to fit"

I'm using an s8+ and I am really interested in the crop to fit feature stated in the FAQ. I can't seem to find interested somewhere, could you help me out ?

Is this even in the software?

I'd like to stretch YouTube videos to fill the screen without losing any content ( e.g. the current " pinch to zoom" , it's just awful).

Would be cool if you could help me out or even add this to the app :)

Is there anyway I can keep the ads? I want to use it for other functions like codecs and other stuff, just want to keep the default YouTube ads. Is it possible ?

How to fix can't Sign-In microG

Sorry but I have no idea how to go about doing that. I have like 3 brand accounts (don't ask why) and I've never had this issue before this app. How does one merge these accounts?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
You can do that via this link: https://www.youtube.com/account_advanced

Make sure you are logged into the correct account you want to delete top right.

I personally would recommend reinstalling iYTBP first, perhaps even clean flashing the ROM. You didn't mention whether it's root or non-root and if microG is involved. We may be able to work out another solution before deleting accounts, which is kinda drastic and you probably have your reasons to have them. Unless they are of no value to you, then just nuke 'em ^_^

Will the magisk repos eventually be updated for the 13.x releases or should I be updating via downloading from the gdrive links?

I'm in no rush to update and prefer the simplicity of updating via magisk.

Great job guys, never thought what started as a 3-lines-of-code little mod would grow into something as awesome and feature-filled as this.

I'll update the iYTBP first post to point to this thread to minimize user confusion.

Anyone else having problems sighing in with YouTube Vanced ??
[Android Apps and Games] voilsb:
I am. I installed the non root version, and already had microg installed as a priv-app. I tried to add my Google account and it said it already existed. Ok. Delete microg, reboot, install microg from the link in the OP. Now it doesn't say the account already exists, but it hangs at "contacting Google to save information"
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You must have the microG for Vanced. No other microG will work for Vanced non root. It is made specifically for this app. Try re installing.
[Android Apps and Games] voilsb:
That's what I assumed. So I deleted microg, rebooted, then downloaded and installed the one from the link in the OP. Then rebooted again. I even tried uninstalling yt Vanced and reinstalling it.

The microG for Vanced lets me attempt to add my Google account, but stalls while contacting Google. Neither version of microg allows me to use the Google account already on the phone

[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
You may want to try again. I just downloaded the non root version and MicroG-Vanced just to see if I also had trouble and it allowed me to login without issues.

If I were you I would uninstall both and then make sure you have the new MicroG-Vanced (0.2.4-105) because there's 2 of them on the website. Then install MicroG first and then non root YouTube. Hopefully that will work for you too.

Youtube vanced doesn't work for me... I'm on a oneplus 5 with android 8.0 and used magisk to install youtube vanced..

Is it maybe because it's a system app?

I tried both the black one and the normal one.. please halp :(
[Android Apps and Games] uncannyjish:
Just stop auto updates in play store. Don't update the app ever as it will overwrite the vanced version.

If it's a rooted system, you can put a file to detach it from the play store.

Hello, I can't install the application.

I downloaded the APK and the installation doesn't work.

I am root Magisk and under Pixel Experience on a Leeco LeMax 2 in 8.1.

I don't understand what I have to do with all the files given in the first post. Do I have to flash something with TWRP? Or just install the APK? Which files I need to download, the maneuver to follow is not very clear.

Thank you for your advice.
[Android Apps and Games] anthonykash:

Hi,

I accidentally had auto-update on on the play store, and updated official Youtube over my Vanced Magisk one. I tried to remove everything youtube related on my phone to start again :

- I deleted the Vanced module

- I uninstalled the Youtube app (with Apps2SD)

- I reinstalled Vanced, rebooted, but no Youtube Vanced shows up.

I then tried the same but

- first installed official YouTube

- disabled auto-updates in the Play Store

- installed Vanced module, rebooted, but only Youtube shows, not the Vanced one...

How can I really delete everything youtube and vanced related, in order to freshly install vanced again?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] SUPERUSER:
Go to /system/app/ and delete the folder YouTube or com.google.android.youtube or whatever the folder may be named and reboot

If its installed as a user app (from play store) it may be placed in /data/app.

How to from the old thread:

For future reference, all you had to do was remove the update. Vanced was still there as a system app. You just updated, so all you had to do was remove update from data/app or in settings/apps/YouTube.

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That's why they removed detach. Some people were having that issue. Not many, but enough. You'll have to reset daily hygiene activity in playstore app to regain auto update ability.

Try this:

Download Disable Service from the Play Store and install it

Open the app and click on "System" to show system apps list

Scroll down to find "Google Play Store" and click on it

Enable "DailyHygiene$DailyHygieneService" (which will be in red, since this is the service that the detach module disables)

Reboot and profit!

The official YouTube can be uninstalled only because it is a user app on my device and not a system app.

So in that case shall I uninstall the YouTube app completely and then flash the magisk module?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That's probably best. The installer usually handles that, but for some it needs to be uninstalled first.
[Android Apps and Games] akash2018:
Thank you so after installing this module from magisk will YouTube be reinstalled automatically or do I have to install manually from play store?

The module contains the modded Vanced YT. It's not an add on, it's a complete modded YT app. Mostly the original YT with some essential tweaks.

No need to install official YT.

Anyone help me out?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You can try to set defaults in settings/apps/YouTube to open the links. Or just copy the links in chrome and paste them in Vanced.

That's the 1 drawback of non root for some devices.

How often is this app updated?

Current Vanced: 13.18.54

Current YouTube: 13.19.58

Also, MicroG....their site I read says not to install it if you already have Google Play Services on phone, like in a stock rom, as it may conflict and cause random issues. Wha tis your version and does it leave anything running in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
Latest version 13.20.53 was just posted on apkmirror on 5/30 and according to the FAQ:

MicroG Vanced is a separate from the original MicroG and can be found on the Vanced website. You can use it alongside any Google framework apps that may be installed on your phone and as far as I can tell the resources that it uses is extremely negligible. It's usually at the bottom of the list as far as which apps use the most battery on my phone, but I imagine ymmv a bit depending on your setup/android habits.
[Android Apps and Games] speedingcheetah:
I ask because it seems that this app is a few versions out of date as 18.54 has been out for several weeks. So the FAQ line u quote is not accurate.

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 AM ----------

This app is what the Official app should be. No idea why Google hasn't enabled Black theme in their app on their own OS. Its on the bloody iPhone already.

Also, the Resolution Override setting actually freaking works! For years now, I am always having toggle the Quality setting in the YouTube app to play in Full HD or 4K as it always starts at low res no matter my setting. This app forces it to play top res each time so far I have tried. And, then set low res for when I am on Mobile Data, to save on data.

Any advantage to enabling the "ExoPlayer V2" setting? I see the Official app appears to still be using V1. (so says Stats for Nerds)
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
It's been mentioned before that Vanced gets updated when they feel a need to do so. Google is always updating but if there's no substantial changes then there's no reason for Vanced to be updated just to play version catch up.

It gets updated fairly regularly, when they have the time and inclination.

That seems like a very odd thing. Google product not supporting Google product?

[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
Technically you're right, but to add to what [MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] said, the last two numbers in the app version reference patches. You'll most likely only see this app update when the middle numbers change since keeping up with YouTube patch releases would be a monumental task in itself.

I really haven't tried the ExoPlayer v2 player, but from what I can remember reading it may be a little buggy on some phones. You could give it a shot and see if you have any playback issues, but I'm not sure what the advantages are of using it.

Edit- I just noticed your original post is not talking about a patch releases. So I guess the better answer for updates is "when they get to it". Lol

Back to normal, i.e. re-attaching YouTube to the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] wandang:
Why would I chose the non-root and non magisk version if I have both, root and magisk? seems counter intuitive.

Is the microg a slimmed down version that does not effect/demand the OS as much as the normal microg? Because normally microg would need signature spoofing which LOS does not have.:confused:
