In the latest YT vanced v16.29.39, as per the changelog concerned, am not able to find this particular setting anywhere "added support for importing-exporting settings". Where it is exactly?
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Can't find it either but they stated "added support for" so it's probably just backend for now.
[Android Apps and Games] SM-03:
Ok, found it, but unfortunately, that's not what we think of, it's under there in Sponsorblock & this feature is only for Sponsorblock content.

The YTV community should've clarified this properly in their changelog to avoid such confusion

Also, they should've added this import-export settings option for all the YTV user-generated settings as well, as a whole. Don't know why they still didn't implement this so far.

As soon as i scroll down to the comments it crashes to the homescreen and shows this standard error dialog. Im pretty sure it worked on this version before, but happens now since about a couple of days. Removing and reinstalling the app didnt help.

Help!!

I installed it via magisk, and since then all my youtube videos are black!!

I have a Galaxy S8.

I uninstalled it and redownloaded youtube, and it is still happening!

Not only on youtube, every video on my phone.. insta, youtube, etc, everything is black or doesnt playback but sohnd works..
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Sounds like a theme issue. Got any external themes running? OMS or even something baked into the ROM? You may need to capture a logcat of the crash in order for us to help you any further.

If it's also happening on stock YT, how is Vanced team supposed to help? Installing it via Magisk didn't destroy anything as Magisk is systemless so just removing the mod doesn't leave any trace. Are you running a custom ROM? In that case I'd post in the ROM thread. If you're on stock, well... I'm not sure what stock people do, they are mysterious beings to me :silly:

While they have "access" to the Gaccount anyway, might as well use a Drive location to store settings and sync up on first install, this would even skip any importing/exporting. Good idea @Team Vanced ? If at all feasible. There will likely be some rights issues...

Have you tried official YT (instead of Vanced)?

Maybe, your network allows YT, but not else (i.e., I don't believe it can be anything specific about Vanced)
[Android Apps and Games] whatsisnametake2:
I'm still using 14.21.54 which has been working fine until now so didn't update. the notifications page has now stopped working tho so I guess I'll need to update now. I read back a bit here and there's mention of not currently being able to chromecast? is that still an issue or has it been resolved? one post said the last version that could cast was 16.13.34. if that's true how do I grab that version? the old versions link on the vanced page doesn't seem to offer that?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
The last version where casting works fine is v15.43.32. You'll find it on apkmirror.com.

All versions after that have a broken cast feature. They blame it on microG, and AFAIK, microG has fixed that part in their most recent update. So hopefully Team Vanced will make it work on their next release.
[Android Apps and Games] RaZzeT:
Everything happens in the same way for me: yesterday or the day before yesterday, the "notifications" tab broke. The version is also 14.21.54. Before that, I worked perfectly on several devices for several years.

I wonder if there is already a solution to this problem? Or is it necessary to upgrade to new versions?

(Sorry if anything, I'm using google translate.)
[Android Apps and Games] whatsisnametake2:
thanks for the info. I downloaded and installed that version and it works fine. only thing is it seems to be the black theme, as opposed to dark. there always used to be a choice of which one to install. how do I get the dark version?
[Android Apps and Games] TheMystic:
Does Vanced Manager not give you that option?

Someone on XDA (in this thread itself) has posted links to the root (magisk) versions. If your device is rooted, you can use that. Or check with that user if he can share it with you.

I have downloaded them (root version). If you want, I can share it with you.

Method 3 For YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
Original YouTube was uninstalled before installing Vanced. Upon opening YouTube Vanced then going to settings, the app closes and none of the features are working. Vanced root is definitely installed on my phone, it's just not working.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Are you talking about root or non-root?

Non-root is a separate app / separate icon, and make sure you run the proper app (from the proper icon).

(You can even uninstall the original YT upon installing non-root YT Vanced, to make sure you will ONLY have non-root Vanced YT)

Root Vanced changes only one file (base.apk) from the split/multi-apk official YT installation.

However, Vanced is always way behind the latest official YT.

Hence even if you first uninstall YT and then install root Vanced YT, your Google Play will see that as that you have an old YT application - and it will (usually) automatically update the YT to the latest, and that will overwrite the root Vanced YT.

You can check in Google Play what is your installed YT version - if no more 16.29.39 (latest Vanced), Vanced root YT was already overwriten

Please search/read back about disabling automatic YT update in Google Play and even better, about detaching YT (Google Play will not see it anymore, hence it will not bother you to update and it will not automatically update thus overwriting the root YT Vanced)
[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
I've checked the playstore and it did not overwrite YouTube Vanced. I am using the root version by the way.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Btw, the latest post/release for Magisk module version for YT Vanced 16.29.39 was this one:
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Yes, I know. I was linking him to the original post which includes a link to the latest updated files (16.29.39).
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
You can try the following (you have root, supposidely you should be faniliar with Magisk and its modules, root explorer, etc)

1) Either from TWRP or by using a root explorer like MiXplorer, go to /data/adb

and delete there any files you find installed by Vanced:

- one script in service.d folder

- one script in post-fs-data folder

- and one folder named Vanced or so (I deleted them months ago hence cannot give you exact names for sure)

2) Reboot, go to Google Play and Uninstall You Tube (fully Uninstall)

Check that you indeed do not have YT app installed anymore (Settings, Apps)

Check also in Vanced Manager that it doesn't show YT Vanced installed (do not, by mistake, install Vanced YT again from Vanced Manager)

3) Reboot and try to install YT Vanced root, same version 16.29.39 but this time as Magisk module.

It basically does the same job (mounting the patched base.apk over the official one) as Vanced Manager but the script it puts into the module folder is little more robust than the script deployed by Vanced Manager (you were asked above to delete)

For the Magisk module YT Vanced 16.29.39 (link to download and installation instructions), see my post #19421 (two posts before this post)

Be aware that upon that Vanced Manager will not see that you actually have Vanced YT installed (hence do not attempt to double-install from Vanced Manager again).

Also, Google Play will also see that you have an old YT version - you must again make sure (detach it) that Google Play would not update the YT

Quick question, is it possible for ads to be blocked on Chromecasted content?
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
A moment ago and all of a sudden, Vanced non root version 16.02.35 lost connection with internet in my two devices, it says "You are offline. Check your connection"... but it's nothing wrong with my connection. Everyone else can watch native YouTube in home, me included. Is there someone else with the same issue?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
With root, no problem for me

Maybe you have some problem with Micro-G. Btw, latest Vanced version is 16.29.39 (but some, with non-root, prefer older versions)
[Android Apps and Games] celestialspring:
Microg issue.

Force close Micro g. Clear cache and data.

Hopefully should work.
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
Happens to me from time to time on non-root version. Usually a simple refresh is good enough. On rare occasions I have to close and open the app again. Never had a need to forcefully terminate MicroG and clear cache.

Don't really know why Vanced has a dependency on MicroG when there are apps which can directly log into YouTube account without it.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
I already did so, no Vanced yet. I've been using non root for long time and this one never ever happened before. I'm trying reinstalling the app and see. I don't want updating past this version because of the "cast" issue with microG.
[Android Apps and Games] TinySoul:
Well then I don't really know the problem at your end.

Try one more thing. Uninstall the current version.

Install version 15.43.42 and the corresponding MicroG (sorry I don't remember the microg version and don't know if the latest version will work or not)

Assuming you got hold of the correct microg version for this version of Vanced. Now update to the Vanced version you want, don't update MicroG yet.

See if things are working fine. If not then you will need to upgrade the microg too and prehaps you are back to the issue you started with 🙄

Also try changing the order of installing the app i.e Vanced first or MicroG first.

And sorry if it still doesn't works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Didn't work. Still trying...
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
The latest microG actually works with 15.43.32 version. Vanced is back and working. Later, I will try updating to 16.02.35...
[Android Apps and Games] doubledragon5:
Been a while since i used this app . Do we still have to uninstall stock YouTube
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
For non-root, not

For root:

- if you have an older version of YT, not

- otherwise yes (usually one would have a newer YT since Vanced falls back several versions: currently, latest YT is 16.38.38, latest Vanced YT is 16.29.39)
[Android Apps and Games] The Analog Kid:
Just updated to 16.02.35 from 15.43.32 and Vanced is back. If it fails connecting to the internet again, I'll let you all know.

Option to disable audio focus:

Can a setting be made available that disables this app from taking over audio focus?

When this setting can be useful:

User may want to watch a video on YouTube without audio. For example, watching a game whilst listening to music, podcast, etc on another app. Or watching a video with subtitles ON while allowing another app on the device to have audio focus.

Currently, user has no control on the audio focus. Some video players (e.g. MX player) have this option. Can something like that be implemented on this app?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
I do not have a /data/adb folder.

Also tried installing via magisk manager but Vanced features are not working. I did install official YouTube from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...elease/youtube-16-29-39-android-apk-download/ since I was unable to install from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664782903
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Magisk installs itself to /data/adb - if you indeed have Magisk, you MUST have that folder.

Otherwise you euther don't have Magisk or you use an inappropriate root explorer

Use MiXplorer and give it root permissions (without root permissions you cannot access /data)

Edit: For your reference, screenshots showing the content of /data/adb are attached, from Terminal app and from MiXplorer. You can access only by granting the root permission to given apps

On the screenshot from MiXplorer, files and folders that are MUST (Magisk installs automatically and cannot work without) are marked by yellow (few other files and subfolders that I have are from some of the modules I use and from my experimenting with Magisk Lite)
[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
I've found the folder. I must've missed it when searching with Root Explorer.

I've installed the official corresponding YouTube with YouTube Vanced magisk module. I have also rebooted after installation but Vanced is not working. It may be due to not installing the split apk? I have never installed a slit apk before and not sure if my phone can.

I've also deleted any files / folders associated with YouTube Vanced within the /data/adb folder. Also checked within Vanced Manager to see installation status which it said unavailable.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
If you downloaded YT 16.29.39 split apk from apkmirror, they have ApkMirror Installer Beta app - see the screenshot

[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
Ok, I've installed the split APK and rebooted after installing the Magisk module, still not working. I have no idea why.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Weird. Try by disabling Vanced YT module, reboot, enable and reboot

If not working, investigate:

1) I use Package Manager from Playstore, find YouTube and open Full app details, General - screenshot "PkgManager"

It must show that you have YT 16.29.39 and the /data/app/... folder where YT is installed

2) Go to that folder and check the file base apk - screenshot "YT"

3) Compare against the file base.apk from YT Vanced module:

/data/adb/modules/ytvmagisk_i5lee8bit - screenshot "module"

Files have to be the same size and must have the same checksum

Edit:

@Au5t1n , to make things simple, if the base.apk files from 2 and 3 are different, then copy the base.apk from Vanced module (3) over the official YT base.apk from (2) and reboot.

Just in case, make base.bak copy before you overwrite

After that, you can even disable or uninstall the module - module (and original installation by Vanced Manager) attenpts to mount the patched base.apk over the original one, whereas this way you hard-copied the patched base.apk over the official one
[Android Apps and Games] Au5t1n:
I have tried disabling and reenabling the module but it did not work.

It may be due to using an old YouTube version of Vanced (14.21.54) which I recently reinstalled. I see that it needs to be uninstalled with the uninstaller but I do not know how to do it. It may have been conflicting with the latest version of Vanced.
