Make sure you've updated Vanced AND installed the new MicroG they've posted on their website. YouTube changed something and I had needed to update my MicroG to get it working again.
[Android Apps and Games] YamiYukiSenpai:
Will there be an update for the Black theme version?
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
Will there be a go figure out what server end updates are? Come on ppl, i sound lile a broken record, but you guys have forgotten the search bar! And how to use it! We've discussed this multiple times over the past 100 pages, with discussions showing up about every 2-3 pgs.

-the apk is fine, no update needed

-google provides server end updates, which satisfies the users who have no idea they just recieved an update

Sorry for being noob here. I am in stock MIUI for Redmi k20 pro. I removed og YouTube app using adb and installed YouTube vanced 14.21.54 & microg for vanced 0.2.6.17455. but I am also not receiving notifications from YouTube vanced. I can't find the option quoted here. Can you please elaborate or post a screenshot?

This was the first thing I checked. I do have the latest versions of both apps, so I was already wondering if there will be an update in the next days, because YouTube altered its app again.

Possible warez ?

Isn't youtube vanced a possible warez.Just like any other modded apk out there which gives some features of a application for free (in this case youtube premium).
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
YouTube vanced doesn't give premium features, any premium features that are unlocked for free in vanced were added to vanced before they became premium features.

Lol you talk too much with your "what if" scenarios. Give your head a shake buddy. How about enjoy the app and if not just move on. It's people like you that like to ruin things for everybody else
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Hi.I am just intrigued by the xda policy of warez.I am enjoying the app just like any other user.Also are you worried that I might ruin your fun by bringing attention to a possible piece of warez which xda itself condemmes then i am sorry for your worries.

Considering username edit, it is a part of perspective. I am not against vanced just that xda policy towards warez is quite strange.
[Android Apps and Games] jkeuclid:
First off, many thanks to Team Vanced for making this possible oh so genius. Secondly, it's late but I got it installed on my S7 G930F/Oreo and it seems to work just fine, shows up in app drawer etc. I should mention I'm a bit slow to migrate to Magisk, still on SuperSU, nevertheless am I supposed to have settings menu somewhere? all I have is just the Vanced app in my drawer. Also since rooted as I mentioned on SuperSU, may I detach from Play Store or is this Magisk specific? One more thing, I still get idiotic channel recommendations and occasional YouTube TV suggestions etc., is this unavoidable or am I overlooking something (settings?) Thanks once again for everyone's input, well done job above and beyond here folks.

[Android Apps and Games] Limon_Lime:
Seemed to have figured out this issue I've been having from a few weeks. There's a problem with using apps in landscape mode in general in OOS10. Opening Spotify and Android Auto in landscape mode has been having similar problems where the display becomes unresponsive unless you either change orientation or double tap power to open the camera, and if neither of those work force reboot.

Anyways, I saw in another thread to changing all animation scales to 1x fixes the issue so I gave it a shot thinking the YouTube Vanced issue was related and what do you know, I haven't experienced the bug in several days. If you can't live without faster animations, you could also try turning just Transition animations to 0.5x, and the rest can be faster if you wish. I narrowed it down to Transition animations specifically and since 0.5x is officially baked into the Android developer settings (0.25x is only available with 3rd party apps) I figured that would have to be supported by apps.

Tl;dr: If you're having problems with the screen going black or not responding, try turning all animation scales to 1x or if not Transition Animations to 0.5x at least. Hope this helps someone :)
[Android Apps and Games] FuLygon:
You didnt even read a single line that OP have written "Youtube Vanced is NOT Youtube Premium". Get Youtube Premium subscription if you want to support youtube, or if you scared that your "precious" personal data gonna get leaked, feel free to use the original app, you can download it from Play Store. Tho i respect you for writing a really long paragraph ;) . If there is a law suit or copyright, it would have happened before you even write your paragraph, but if it really happen, worst case scenario is that you normal user, google might disable your account, but im pretty sure it not gonna happen :p
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Thanks for reading the whole post. I am not worried about data or anything as like i said i use vanced app myself.

My contention was that vanced allow one of the premium feature of youtube ,background play for free.

While not providing premium hours support for creators,for obvious reasons,which is the sole thing that distinguishes it from true youtube premium.

This action is causing direct revenue loss to google.

(Adblocking + background play )

Google dosen't like lawsuit thing because who would provide them with innovative ideas for free.They ain't google for nothing.

One of moderators/ senior members said that if an app causes revenue loss to developer it is a warez. Simply stating that to support youtube by youtube premium is enough to bypass warez tag then so should be allowed on lucky patcher by simply stating a waring that like a app buy it don't patch it or gamekiller by stating like a app in game items by them not hack them.But they are not allowed to be discussed .

Any explanation for that ?
[Android Apps and Games] FuLygon:
I dont know about lucky patcher stuff on xda, i just heard it was banned here, imo LP patching app license, bypass IAP which is more agressive, someone can just patched the app/game and their account is "premium" forever, youtube vanced imo is just a mod, enable some feature, it doesnt really provide free youtube premium account, you have to rely on the app, iirc you cant watch fully PAID youtube red episode, you still need youtube red/premium account to watch them, you have your point of view and i have mine, forum moderator would provide better answer about this whole thing and why ytb vanced is allow but LP not
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Kudos to that!!!

That is where i was comming. You see xda moderators say warez which by defination is extremely wide scoped. Xda never defined warez properly. If xda mods / devs want to define what warez is ,they should properly define so. In there definition lucky patcher , youtube vanced or even exclusive vendor apps which are ported on other phones like say google camera is technically warez. As porting google camera is causing revenue loss to google.Google wants you to buy pixel to use such app but you don't.

The definition which i have come to understood i s this Here on xda if you cheat idie developer you are warez if you cheat samsung ,google you are a modder.

Xda should embrace warez which i talked why on a thread i started . As it is already embracing it just passing it of as a mod instead of a warez. The aggressiveness which you talk about is not defined by xda warez definitions.

For a community for developers by developers .Are the developers of such apps not developers to you ? Are they not fellow modders like you ?Only difference being there applications mod applications while you provide only a specific modded application.

My another hypothesis is this that the xda community fears legal action against their site if they allow such apps on their site. And may perhaps lose brand sponserships from likes of oneplus for providing platform for so called warez apps.But one encourages android development so i highly doubt they will lose it from oneplus but maybe from MR.Sam or Mr.Google ?If they provide one:cool:

But again site will be not promoting warez but ANDROID DEVELOPMENT in general so who knows. Perhaps xda is such a cash cow generating estimated revenue of 5.9 millons dollars that the site may be now for showing adds and earning money more than it cares about developers community .

But again on the flip side traffic created by game killer and lucky patcher thread may only add to revenue to it and not cause it to lose it
[Android Apps and Games] Arcide:
Getting rid of ads is not warez, enabling you to have music playing in the background is not warez, it's a RIGHT for which they want to charge you extra.
[Android Apps and Games] palmbeach05:
You know how many paid apps are out on the internet for free and allow ppl to bypass providing revenue to companies for premium features? A lot of torrent sites blatantly encourage warez every day, yet you want to focus on this app and this team here.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
If blocking ad was a right then google would have gone bankrupt. It is not your right , it is the price you are paying for supporting the youtube and content creators of youtube.

Similary background play is a right or not has been decided by google. If it is a right which you so assurely say then why can't you ask google to provide so called right of yours for free of charge. I MEAN if it is your right like right to live they should not charge you like nobody charges you for breathing.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Hell no mate. I love vanced. I use it.and give my heartful thanks to developers for it. The only thing i am *****ing about is xda irrational policy towards warez app. I am sure you will appreciate if lucky patcher was allowed to be discussed on xda.

MY heartful thanks to vanced team for creating such a wonderful app. But why it is so awesome , wonderful everybody knows.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcide:
I was talking primarily about the background playback thing...

And yes, it is my right. I don't want to watch ads that they are shoving down my throat, all while they are marketing their service as free. I don't want to pay just to view something uninterrupted. Emphasis on FREE SERVICE.

[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
Don't embarass yourself. I can start filling air into bottles and selling it to people. If you then come along and tell everyone that they can just breathe the air for free, you circumvent my profit model! Google can do with their apps whatever they want, but I can do with them whatever I want on my device, it's my right (within the copyright laws, if you want to get technical). There is no law that forces everybody to protect someone's business model, that's entirely the task of the one running the business. If I cook at home, it's bad for the restaurant business, tough luck...

A lawsuit for providing "premium features" is nonsense because that's not illegal. The actual (potentially) illegal action is copyright infringement by distributing the original app (albeit with modifications) without permission. It would be perfectly legal though to just distribute a patcher, which unlocks the features in the original app that you have already installed. There is no lawsuit simply because the vanced devs don't post their names and addresses online. The dev of the other ad-free youtube app (which shall not be named apparently) got busted by google because he wasn't careful. That said, don't worry too much for lawsuits because the development has stopped anyway for now.

Oh and what XDA considers bannable is entirely at their discretion and has nothing to do with laws or whatever rules you can come up with.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
You sound like an intelligent guy.Well i never denied any of your stated facts.Thanks for your tip about why google hasn't filed a lawsuit because for some reason i was wondering myself why google hasn't filed a lawsuit and passed it off as some google tactic.

Regarding home cooked food,yes i never said that any law stops you from using or cooking whatever you want for your device. I mean that would be crazy.

From the very start i have been saying that the dish you are cooking is a warez because it is bad for your so called resturant business.But i never deniend that you can't cook the dish or you can't discuss the receipe.

From the very start I have been stating that the way xda shares warez dishes receipe is irrational.And i don't know why even intelligent people like you are not saying that this is a warez dish ,maybe mild in flavour but it is.

You yourself admit it by saying it is bad for resturant business.

Well my issue is that xda is being irrational towards its banning policies

Boi this conversation has made me hungry .:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
That's where I disagree. You're talking about cooking meth, I'm just cooking soup :)... It's

not illegal

to block ads or to play stuff in the background, even if google wants you rather pay them for that. It's perfectly legal to disassemble your legally obtained original youtube apk and apply all the vanced mods to it and make google lose a gazillion billion dollars because you stop watching ads. What's not legal is to distribute the modded app or even just a copy of the unmodded original app because of the copyright laws - not because it's bad for someone's business! Copyright is very strict here but also very limited in scope. You can't distribute a copy of an original work (modified or not) without permission, but you can distribute instructions of how to modify it to your heart's desire, even to the point that these instructions are a one-click patcher script (that's actually the legal foundation of many firmware mods). Since few years, the copyright law in some countries also makes some modifications illegal, which circumvent "copy protection" - that's clearly not the case with ad blocking and other convenience features and google needs to bribe a lot more politicians in order for this to change in the future (which it definitely will).

So in terms of "bad for business" it doesn't matter at all whether they distribute the full modified apk or just a patcher script, it has the same effect, yet one breaks copyright law and the other is fully legal.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Why are you worried about copyright laws ? And when did i said i want to cook meth.And when did i said ad blocking is illegal.

My only contention is this,

This app is a possible warez and just like many mods on xda is not considered as warez. Why so ?As adblocking cause ad revenue loses to developers

I love xda and i have nothing against it.Just the way that they treats some apps are warez and some as not both essentially causing developer losses.

Thanks for your explanations,it just goes on to show how xda is treating lucky patcher or game killer as a untouchable app whereas they are more legal than modded apks themseleves.
[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
You called it warez for the wrong reason, I corrected that. The word itself refers only to software or media piracy, not to tools which are bad for someone's business. Adblockers are not warez!

The vanced app appears to use a "pirated" version of the original youtube app (I haven't confirmed it but it should be trivial to do), so offering it as a download is as illegal as offering a copy of the original youtube app on your own server. XDA doesn't offer any of that, it just published a link to the 3rd-party website that does. This is not illegal and it's at their discretion which links they publish and which tools they want to discuss. It's entirely an editorial choice, not a legal one.

Since your edit came later: I'm for free speech and against any form of censorship, so of course I'd rather would have a discussion about all and any tools (lucky patcher etc.) - but it's their choice how to run the platform and it's our choice to participate or not.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Technically aren't they pirating youtube ? From start I am saying that why editors choices are so irrational.
[Android Apps and Games] Libra420T:
dude ur making me and probably everyone else pull their hair out, damn :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] RealNovgorod:
I have nothing to do with XDA, so I can't answer this :) - also see the edit in my last post.

As for pirating youtube (the platform that is, not just the app): no, of course not. They don't offer any youtube content on their own website (there were some legal issues with "youtube unblocker" proxy services in that regard), they offer a client comparable to a browser (aside from the app's copyright issue). The users of the app access youtube directly from their devices and youtube offers the content freely for any client without any enforcement of what browser or app it's viewed on.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
I am sorry i was unable to understand your comment properly. Are they not editing official youtube apks.

Also by them i meant vanced team
[Android Apps and Games] marciozomb13:
I think it's time to end this kind of talk not related to the development of the app. If you think Vanced is warez, report it to XDA then a moderator will analyze and contact you privately, and probably explain why Vanced thread is not taken down after all these years.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_gaou:
About the removed feature: reorder watch later playlist, it's a bug present in the website for ones who doesn't set English US as language. Enable this setting on the website solves the bug on the website but not in the app. A workaround is to change default language on Android settings.

We have to wait for YouTube to fix this, hoping they don't plan to remove that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Supreme Darkness:
Ok sir.:silly: :fingers-crossed:
