Hi, I have a question, app is working flawlessly on phone but have some issues after installing it on a rooted TV-BOX (mekool KIII Pro) with AmlogicS912 and Android 7.1.2 on it; the box is tied with a HDMI 2.0 cable to a 4k TV, so I don't need that script to add a 4k resolution to build.prop to be able to watch 2160p videos like on phones (setprop sys.display-size 3840x2160); the problem is that when I open a 2160p video from YT, it has some strange green artefacts and then the whole box freezes so I need to unplug it's power to be able to recover; I tried to force VP9 codec playback in the settings of this app but also with no luck; up to 1440p resolution videos work without problems but 2160p ones work randomly, mostly freezing the box; after a fresh install of this app 2160p is working for a few videos but as soon as I reboot the TV Box it's a no go;

using a youtube app made for android TVs I have no freezes but I can't control that app with mouse and keyboard, just with the boxes own remote control;

any advices what am I doing wrong? I tried the root and also the non-root method, thanks

anyone can tell is exoplayer v2 better than media player that's used in youtube by default?since I dun use any playbacks tweaks is there a difference in graphic quality or responsiveness or any variety of elements affected?
[Android Apps and Games] xmascious:
Video sometimes ignore my preferred video quality setting, e.g. i chose 144p, but it still loads with 360p (nerd stats).

Any tips?
[Android Apps and Games] k4rn8g3:
The video must have a 144p quality available for the user to choose in the first place..

But in some cases.. Like in the screenshot in attachment..

There is no 144p but its lowest is 360p so yt loads that instead..

Hope this helps.. If it does , plz hit thanks button..
[Android Apps and Games] k4rn8g3:
While I didn't notice much "graphical" improvement...

The v2 version unlocks the ability to choose the buffer length of the video

Its beeen three months, the non root version of the app isn't updated. Is everything going okay with the development?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
there's not much benefit from updating the app right now.

and it's not like they're doing nothing, they very recently released a new modified version of microG to resolve login problems.

they won't update for every official update, they only update when it's worth it and they have the time.
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:
But, it is. If I use the Stock YouTube app it works fine. This only occurs with YouTube Vanced.

MicroG login screen stuck on Google TOS. Any solution? Tried clearing PS, Google App, microG and Vanced data. Also uninstalled and reinstalled both YT and microG.

It's chrome webview that's breaking it, so...

Make sure you have AOSP webview enabled. Normal YouTube log in has no relevance. It doesn't use MicroG.

If neither of the 2 fixes works for you, you're out of luck.
[Android Apps and Games] InvisibleYou:
I tried it. for me it worked with Chrome enabled, and webview as chrome

All of a sudden I can no longer stream videos to chromecast... Video begins to play but is paused immediately and will not load... Never had this issue before with Youtube Vanced. Any ideas?

Edit: Nevermind! Problem turned out not to be specific to Youtube Vanced and was happening on all video streaming apps attempting to chromecast. Solution: unplug the Chromecast and give it a quick reset.

Thank you for everything in making a decent Youtube App. I'm trying to install the root version and I'm at my wits end. I looked thoroughly to find the same problem but nothing was close enough. The app crashes on startup.

I added the newest apk in the installer.zip and used TWRP to install it. I'm running Lineage 14.1 on a GS5. I saw in the logs it couldn't find the directory /data/user/0/com.google.android.youtube/ so even making it there didn't help. There was no trace of Youtube in any regard before, I disabled Auto-Updates. TWRP said it installed just fine. Here is my logs, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did notice uninstalling microg made it last a few extra seconds but now I can't get much more from scratch than that. Even after rebooting
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=5231203]Aarix[/MENTION], it's not that it couldn't find the directory, it's unable to create it.

Couldn't create directory for SharedPreferences file

I take it you've given Vanced storage permissions. Otherwise, not sure what's going on. Adoptable storage? Encryption? Never had the issue before. [emoji848]

You should add a guide about how to add your account in MicroG because there's a known bug which won't let you login until you disable Chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
guess what the last answer in the faq links to?

and it's outdated, there's a fixed microG available that should make it a lot easier.

https://vanced.app/APKs?type=NONROOT
[Android Apps and Games] Aarix:
Thank you for your reply

Yea, I've given it all permissions manually. I do use adaptive storage thought it's installed in internal strange if that matters or makes a difference. I don't really know how to troubleshoot shot anything else. The non root works just fine. I do notice I can't effectively change the permissions via root explorer. For testing purposes, I tried install the apk as usual. It says it appears to be corrupted and always says that. I'm assuming that's an expected behavior when you do that.

Maybe I'm not making the zip file right. TWRP finds it in the root of the installed zip and gives no errors. It also doesn't find any settings so it reverts to the default (paraphrasing)

I just noticed the data is only 68kb so I'm not sure what to do about that
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=5231203]Aarix[/MENTION], I haven't used or tried to use the installer in ages since it never worked for me. I always install Vanced manually after flashing a ROM while in TWRP. As /system/app/YouTube/YouTube.apk, directory and file permissions set. Any updates are done manually also. But anyway, since TWRP gives you no errors all sounds fine as far as flashing but just in case... Flash the installer again and immediately after generate a recovery log via TWRP's Advanced menu. Look through it to see if everything was 100%. Or attach it here.

The small 68k data size makes sense I guess given that the data directory can't be created. Normally it would be in the megabytes.

Hi guys! Why is not possible logout from youtube vanced? There isn't any option to exit from account.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You can try not putting it in the zip. Just in download folder of internal storage.

And save the recovery log after installation in TWRP. That may show something.

[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:
I've triple checked and removed YouTube Vanced and Google Discover works just fine in loading YouTube videos. I even tested with not having any YouTube installed and it just loads the video into Chrome no problem. But, when I install YouTube Vanced it doesn't load the video off the Google Discover Feed. I'm assuming it's because of the ads? I'm not sure what can be done and I want to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. (I'm using Google app version 9.88.7.21.arm64; YouTube Vanced 14.10.53 from Magisk).
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the account with the blue logo is only used by (non-root) vanced, it's not used for any other apps.

if you have the root or magisk version it'll work just like the official YouTube app, which doesn't have a logout option either(but they do both have an incognito option)
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
Replaced by incognito mode.
[Android Apps and Games] Aarix:
Using the installer they provide, I copied the path (using Solid Explorer) and would never find it, only in the root of the zip. The log never showed anything new or helpful.

I put the apk like that and made sure permissions were 755 and it did install when i rebooted but the same number of KB and this time the icon is what you see when the app is installed to external storage that is gone (The transparent SD icon) though it's installed in the internal storage. I don't know what's going on. It does NOT like the root APK, when I try and open it with Solid Explorer, it cannot parse the package and any version I download just behaves like it's corrupted or a major problem. Same scenerio renaming the apk as a zip and when I put the apk INTO a zip, TWRP gives error 1 (I think). The general one that marks the zip as invalid. I don't know what else I can do but basically the root APK REFUSES to add the meat of the app.

again, thank you both for your assistance in this.

EDIT: I decided to update to LineageOS 16 and that seems to have made it work so an FYI to anyone in a similiar situation.

I have the Moto X Pure it's rooted running on Oreo GZOSP ROM with the latest Magisk. YouTube runs fine but sometimes when I'm portrait mode the video is still playing but I'm can't scroll up or down. Even pressing the home and recents bottons don't do anything. My status bar notification works pressing the little gear icon doesn't do anything either. The only way to fix it is to do a reboot. Even if I'm in picture in picture it stays frozen while the video is playing. The only way to fix it is going into app setting and stop the app. I also have it for my Note 9 which is not rooted I have no problems with it. Also I have it on my Moto x pure installed as a regular app. I had it as a system app but phone would reboot start up then reboot again. Is there a way to fix this problem on my Moto X Pure?

Hello!

I got the following situation:

- Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950FD), Android 9, Custom firmware with core ATN Pie S8, base: G950-955FXXU4DSBF. Security path: 01 march 2019

- apk -Youtube_14.10.53-1410532400_API19 (arm64-v8a) (nodpi) (vBlack-v2.0.7) -vanced.

- I tried to do the installation through "recovery". And also tried to do the installation through "LP". the result is the same.

- "FAQ" and the last pages were read. Search in topic for "nearby" did not show any results.

- The essence of the problem: after installing the root version of youtube vanced, in some apps, the phone hangs for a few seconds. As soon as the phone comes to life, the notification "In the `Nearby Service` application again failed" appears (see attached image). All apps are not tested. But so far, there are two known apps with that error occurs - this is the Gallery app (this happens during photo opening) and Samsung Music app. After update the YouTube app through the play market store, the problem still remains.

i recorded the log using adb at the moment when the error appears.

Searching for the word "nearby" among the phone's settings give the result "device search." "device search" searches for devices by proximity using bluetooth and microphone. Disabling this setting does not eliminate the problem. Although, it seems, the error began to occur a little less. And it seems that sometimes the error occurs immediately, without hanging the phone.

Once, the whole phone hung up (the touchscreen did not work). reboot helped.

ps: excuse me for my bad english)

Unfortunately, I can not attach a log file.

Hi!

first of all, thx for the app. much appreciated.

i installed YT vanced black themed through magisk.

But i am unable to use a black theme.

There is only an option for a dark theme.

Am i doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you installed the black version, it should be black. Unless the misnamed the files (it happens).

Did you try turning it on in settings to see what it looks like?
[Android Apps and Games] kepl0r:
yes of course. and it showed me the black theme with the same version of YT vanced before i reinstalled my OS.

I am even more confused because all of the options are talking about a dark theme and not a black one.

I have some screenshots attached. Am i missing some options?

I tried to install on miui custom rom wich has youtube preinstalled, but wiped all the updates before.

Everything else is working.

I have some screenshots attached. maybe someone can confirm something went wrong here. as you can see, this is more grey than black :D

UPDATE:

I tried to install via universal installer with black+white APK. The Background is still drak grey.. i really don't understand

thx

Quite sure the poster is aware of that, hence the "LP" instead of the full name. Plus that little mention of its presence could be important as it sometimes can be a source of problems.

Hi, first of all thank you for a great app.

I'd like to know if sorting videos by categories could be implemented : say you are subscribed to 5 or 6 channels about the new technologies, you create a "new tech" folder in which you put those channels and instead of having all the videos from that folder shown to you mixed up you, you can choose a per channel display of videos (showing the "videos" tab by default).

Alright guys... I've checked multiple versions of the Google app and even last year versions of the Google app are no longer working nicely with YouTube Vanced when clicking into YouTube links on the Discover feed. I've noticed that it seems adblocking is broken in Google app, as when loading a YouTube video with stock YT it loads the ad first then plays the video within the Google app. (If YT is not installed it'll open with Chrome). But, if you open that same video with YouTube Vanced it blocks the ads thus leaving you with a black screen. This leads me to believe maybe something changed server side on the Google Discover feed for ads? Can anyone else test and confirm these results? I'm using the latest YT Vanced from the Magisk repo
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Are you using the no root vanced? If yes, it will always try to open in stock YouTube. Non root vanced has a different package name. This has always been the only downside of non root.

Whatever video you see in discover, just copy and paste the tag in vanced.

Or use the root or magisk versions.

Before you even say " I can't root my device" ,

sorry but those are your choices. Them's the breaks.
[Android Apps and Games] rogeriskira:

Bug

Hi everyone.

I found a problem (for now only with two videos) in practice while I watch a video the screen becomes totally black and only audio is heard.

It is as if the video player stopped working; with normal Youtube, instead, it works correctly.

How can I solve it?

I just found out that the problem only occurs with vertical videos but I don't know how to solve
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It is regional issue. There is nothing vanced team can do about that. For ex I don't have that issue and haven't ever had on any vanced youtube version

Nothing we can say unless you provide report with your phone info, app version and logs.

Phone setup info, app version, links of two youtube videos that you meet the issue (including video resolution and frame speed you used for testing) and logs for the event. We need those for troubleshoot.
