I can confirm this issue too. Uninstalled Vanced and tried to get it flash again with TWRP. But cannot get the app installed.
[Android Apps and Games] autisticarvin:
Me too. Ever since my phone is updated to Android Pie, push notifs don't work.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
Pull to refresh started working for me. So it's probably a server side issue
[Android Apps and Games] derei:
Can confirm too: I saw my YouTube looking "regular" (although I don't remember updating it from Play Store - in fact it was detached), so I removed it.

Reinstalling from Magisk shows the module installed, but nowhere to find the app itself.

If I install the official YouTube, that one shows an icon. Only the Magisk version won't display.

Any suggestions?

I know the laws, where has the download feature went?

It says I can no longer download from YouTube. I knew this was illegal before but was always an option with vanced . I noticed that older vanced versions cannot either, so am I safe to say this is something that youtube did as a preventative measure on it's server side? I noticed keepvid dropped its downloading from YouTube capabilities as well. What programs would you recommend, let's say .... If downloading from YouTube was legal and Google had youtube set up this exact same way??

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
vanced does let you download videos, but there are some restrictions.

you need YouTube premium.

downloads must not be blocked for the video.

you need to be in a supported country.

and downloaded videos can only be watched for a limited time and only through the app you downloaded the video with.

these are not vanced restrictions, this is just the official YouTube download feature.

[Android Apps and Games] Xsabre:
I still can't refresh the home screen either.
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
If you would like to get started for rooting, search for Magisk on Xda and you will find general instructions but for unlocking your bootloader, flashing custom recovery etc. you should search for your device specific forum where people usually share their experience/guides to root, custom Roms and other very useful information. Procedures like rooting should not be done before backing up whatever you can, saves you from mental instability in case of data loss :silly: End of OT :)

[Android Apps and Games] Paschfire:
It's strange, I'm running 13.43.50, Magisk module install.

Pull down to refresh on home feed was working for me the first few hours of use after I installed Vanced for the first time last week and after that it hasn't worked since.

I've tried deleting everything, reinstalling via Magisk..etc, still no dice.
[Android Apps and Games] xPandamon:
I've encountered 2 problems after updating my XZ1C to Android 9 Pie:

1. Swipe down to refresh isn't working on the Start tab anymore.

2. I don't get any notifications for some reasons. I already checked my settings. Not sure if this is a Youtube Vance bug or if the newer MicroG Vanced version causes this.

UPDATE: Both are Youtube Vanced problems. It works just fine in the normal Youtube app.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
For now, downgrading to v.13.37.52 seems to be the only consistent solution to get pull to refresh working again.

[Android Apps and Games] mtm1401:
Latest version of the app is not working with PIP, plays in the background but no picture. On the S9+ beta
[Android Apps and Games] daunjan:
Have you got the Androidtv version or will this work?
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Here's a little rundown of differences between versions that should help clarifying things.

Rooted version : Needs root, installs in the system partition (= modifies it directly), replaces the original YouTube app, native YouTube links opening support.

Magisk Module : Needs Magisk root, same features as Rooted version but uses Magisk systemless capabilities to keep the system partition intact.

Non-root version : Works on non-rooted phones (as well as rooted ones), installed alongside the original YouTube app, needs MicroG, direct YouTube links opening may work in phones that support default app links for system apps or using 3rd party apps.

In this case the terms "root version" and "non-root version" just mean, respectively, "taking advantage of root capabilities" and "not taking advantage of root capabilities".
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmaaahh!:
Thanks for putting up that list.

Does it though, change anything in the system partition? I've installed via Magisk and there still is folder & file creation under /system/app/YouTube. Unless someone corrects me on that, I believe that's exactly what the root version does as well.

By (un)checking the module it makes the YouTube folder (dis)appear so one could say this doesn't count as a system partition operation. I could be wrong here as I don't fully understand Magisk's sorcery; I'm honestly wondering.
[Android Apps and Games] 3lMghraby:
I change it disabling dark theme completely as it broke after I changed the dark values to white
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
No it does not write anything in /system and no there is no "folder & file creation", just mountpoints, that's the "magic" of systemless modules : the module content and scripts (as well as everything Magisk related) are stored in an image in the /boot partition and during each boot it uses Magic Mount to mount (not writing) the necessary files in the required /system destination. (You see the files under /system/app/YouTube because the OS truly "believes" they are there)

Here is an excerpt of the Magisk documentation about Magic Mount :

Is anyone else here suffering from YouTube Vanced (13.37.52 root) with the data mysteriously disappearing (wipe data) on each reboot and consequently having to reconfigure it every time? I know that probably the problem is in my rom but I wonder if it's happening to anyone else
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Not to me. And that would be a huge bug and you would see quite a handful reports if it was present.
[Android Apps and Games] Brds7t7:
Is anyone else having this weird scrolling issue I've been having with the last few versions of Vanced.

What happens is I get a notification for a comment reply, I click the notification, it opens the video then does a fast crazy scrolling up and down, then the app just crashes. I did search and I've noticed a couple people mentioning scrolling up and down is weird, but didn't see any mention of it specifically happening when clicking a notification. If I'm scrolling up and down comments it works fine though.

Haven't had it happen on the official YouTube app. I've tried altering a few settings like minimised video player option, but nothing seems to solve it.

Hey there sorry for no logs but I'm in a hurry and wanted to report 2 bugs on my Note 8 with Android 7.1.1 using version 13.07.55 non root.

- watching a video with pinch to zoom in landscape mode, app will crash when rotating into vertical mode if I dont change back to original size.

- running a video in background and going back/reopening the app the video will stop and buffer for a short time before continuing with playback.

Regards, thank you for this great app!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That IS the option. Turn it on.
[Android Apps and Games] agraceful:
Regarding your second "bug", it's not a bug. Official YouTube playback does this also. When you play it in the background data no longer is prioritized for it. So, it comes second to whatever else. It will also lower resolution of you leave it in the background running in order to make up for data prioritization. Or, quite often, it simply gets no data sent to it in background. Hence why it stops and begins.

I would like to file a bug report, i'm having problems login into my google account in Youtube Vanced

Version : 13.43.50_API17(arm64-v8a_armeabi-v7a_x86_x86_64)(nodpi)(vDark-v2.0.4)

Micro G : 0.2.4-105 & 0.2.4-81

Device : J3 (2016) SM-J320FN LineageOS 14.1

Basically everything works fine exept log in, after loging in i'm stuck at this screen :

I've tried the following :

- Reinstalling and trying the last two versions of youtube vanced

- Reinstalling and trying the two versions of micro G

- Allowing everything in the lineageOS app restrictions

The app worked perfectly before i reinstalled the rom multiple times during the day and everything worked fine until this last time. (i'm almost sure i got logged in the first time but it logged me out after some time?)

My google account is working fine and everything is reconized during the login, the native youtube app also works fine.

If I missed something or made a stupid mistake please tell me! thank you

edit: i'm still trying to figure out this logcat thing, i'm a noob sorry, i'll try this out when i can have access to a computer
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Sorry if I misread the information provided.

Microg is needed only for sign in if using the non root version of VYT.

If you're using non root, try removing the account from device-settings-accounts. The blue background with a "g" is the Microg. Then sign in again. Use the -105 version of Microg.

Not sure if this helps.

If you're using the root version, then you don't need Microg.
[Android Apps and Games] FutureRun:
Hey, thanks for the help, i'm not rooted, I did uninstall MicroG and reinstall the recommended version but i'm still stuck at the same screen.

By removing the account you mean unlinking my google account from my phone?

Thanks for trying to help!

Just installed youtube vanced on my friend's phone like i always do and it worked just fine, i don't thing i'm doing something wrong, weird..
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
By saying you're not rooted, does it mean that your phone is not rooted? If that's the case, then install the non root version of VYT and the Microg and you should be good to go.

For removing the account, I'm referring to the Microg account. If successfully signed in, there's 2 Google accounts in settings - accounts. The one with blue background (old Google icon) is the Microg one. The colorful G is your device Google account.

In your last para, how did you install it? Flash the non root app, then the Microg app? Or installed root version via custom recovery or using Magisk version, via Magisk (these methods install the rooted version, for rooted devices).
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Are you sure you did not trigger some security mechanism of your Google account by "reinstalling the rom multiple times during the day"?

Did you try to log in MicroG with your account on your friend's phone (or log in to your friend's account on your phone)? In any outcome at least you'll know if it's either your account or MicroG/ROM/phone that's the issue
[Android Apps and Games] FutureRun:
I remember seeing that icon before resetting but it's not present here.

My phone is not rooted I just installed TWRP and lineageOS and neither is my friend's.

I did it the exact same way I always did, downloaded the last non beta version of YouTube vanced and microg for YouTube vanced.

Thanks for trying to help me :)

[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
If you have TWRP you can install the root version. You don't actually have to be rooted, (as long as you have a way to write to /system, you do) TWRP will install it as a system app. Get the root APK and the universal installer. Put them both in the download folder on your internal storage then Flash the zip in TWRP, it will find the APK and install it for you as a system app.

Of course that is only if you want to. it may try to update itself in the Play Store which is a problem that comes with the roof version. But if it does update, you just have to remove the update. No biggie.
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Careful with that operation if you have locked bootloader, proceeding with this could result in your device refusing to boot or even getting in a bootloop.
[Android Apps and Games] FutureRun:
thank you for the advice :)

Is unlocking the bootloader the same as the option "OEM Unlock" in samsung phones? Because I think LineageOS keeps it unlocked by default and even hides the option to prevent bricking.

When I tried to boot into TWRP I couldn't find my files like I always do the file structure was lost.dir and then boot, cache, data. Same when I selected the SD card, maybe it's because I have adotable storage enabled.

Anyways, because i'm prone to doing stupid things I may not try this method
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Oh you're on LineageOS, I did not realize. Then my bad, your bootloader is indeed unlocked (there is usually no way to have a custom ROM when your bootloader is locked).

And no, the OEM Unlock option is not exactly a proof of unlocked bootloader : OEM Unlock is just a switch that "allows bootloader to be unlocked", it usually requires more operation to do so.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
yeah I had already saw him mentioned that he had TWRP and lineage installed already. And he was having trouble signing in with micro g using the non root version. I figured I'd just let him know the option was there to use the root version even though he had not rooted his lineage os.
[Android Apps and Games] FutureRun:
TWRP kinda freaks me out, feels like there is so much possibility to mess something up, I know the app is well done and there are safeguards, you have to confirms sensitive actions, etc.

I guess I'll stick to youtube from now :/

I still don't know why when loading TWRP my computer showed my SD card as empty and I couldn't find the Downloads folder, I ended up putting the .zip with the .apk in next to the TWRP folder.
