Asked this a couple of times on this forum, Discord and Reddit and still no help..

I can't get my tablet to play a resolution over 1080p, it used to do that when enabled in settings but now it can't. I know the video can be played at higher resolutions. My other device goes over 1080p with those settings.

How to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Rooted or non root?
[Android Apps and Games] Arathonk:
Non root. But that's also the case on my other device.

[Android Apps and Games] xubeiga:
on my phone there are 2 folders in there for "com.google.android.youtube", but both of them have the exact same files...both have base.apk and some others files

which one should i delete ?

EDIT: I ended up not deleting any of those folders and just restarted the phone. Youtube still there.

Restarted again and entered in TWRP and checked again data/app in File Manager, and now there is only one folder in there

I wiped cache/dalvik and restarted again just to be sure, Youtube still there and working like a charm!

So i just needed to install root vanced, install magisk module and the phone did the rest

ps: i used the magisk module you attached in post #17181

Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] dr4go:
Ad 1) Thx for the explanation, it may help others, but I know Linux and Android quite well and wouldn't have been necessary. :)

My key note regarding the first part of the previous message: I find the new method wrong if there is NO Youtube system app present. Yes, the S10 rom usually contains it, but I modify it myself and kick it out as it makes the Vanced installation a lot easier... as well... because you need a button combo for the S10 if you want to boot it rooted when staying as close as stock as possible. And even then... and as being mentioned... this vanced.sh script does only bind the base.apk of Vanced. What about the other apks? Imho this procedure is a big fail.

Ad 2) Why would the apk be removed in that case? Or are you referring to the problem when a system youtube apk is present? If so, it would be much wiser to simply overlay the file from within Magisk and not via this crazy sh file.

Ad 3) As being mentioned: in my case there is no other youtube apk present. Still this script breaks Vanced completely when I leave it running when booting up.

I get the timing factor as well, but no time (I tried with the finished boot if, 30 and 60) leaves the apk up and running. It looses the icon and com.google.youtube...something is being displayed.

Ad 4) Sorry for the confusion: yes, before rebooting and from the Vanced Manager the first installation works perfectly.

But as I don't have any system apk of YouTube I simply don't need a script to mount bind the already installed YouTube.

Regarding the uninstallation issue: when I tried to uninstall the broken com.google.youtube apk, it disappeared from the drawer, but was still present as file. The umount cmd just left a cryptic error message and only a reboot "removed" this broken mount point from /proc/mounts.

Ad 5) Nope, I've set it to 600 just in case I still needed it for something and am to lazy to move it to somewhere else. :D

Hope this clears a few things up... and sorry for the late reply. Just note as well, that [MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION] additionally mentioned, that a mount bind cmd can as well break SafetyNet, which is also an additional downvote for this new method.

Getting really annoyed now, was on nitrogen OS the detach module didn't work so used detach only. Now I've changed to AICP and I can't get anything to work?? Tried both detach files tried just the magisk module and tried using the settings file, I changed install by magisk and the detach only to yes and still nothing? Please can someone help
[Android Apps and Games] aerozolic:
Have you cleared defaults and disabled the original YouTube app?

anyone having problems with Check Internet Connection when starting an app ? been going on for the last 30 minutes . Vanced, non-root version... all was great for a month.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Proper root APK for your device, Vanced installer, and ytva_detach_from_playstore.plz and ytva_install_via_magisk.plz. Install Vanced installer zip in magisk manager.

That's what works for me.

Or use the one in the magisk repo.
[Android Apps and Games] ryanfraser38:
I AM GOING TO SCREAM. Literally nothing is detaching this app??
[Android Apps and Games] mtm1401:
I have done both and restarted the phone, also checked that they were default for the same web addresses
[Android Apps and Games] Grander0:
If you're installing the app, then use the regular detach option, not just detach only.
[Android Apps and Games] ryanfraser38:
Still not detached

[Android Apps and Games] mhasan92:
on my galaxy tab s 10.5 videos are lagging in 1440p when vp9 option selected, but if I do not select vp9, max resolution of any video is capped to 1080p, is there any fix of that lag? because on official youtube app every video is now capped to 1080p max no matter what I do, and it is really frustrating to see 1080p youtube videos on such a high res display. Any help will be highly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] methoddon1:
re-installation helped ... hm..
[Android Apps and Games] TheHellSite:
At least I now know that I am not the only one with that problem!

I still couldn't figure out how to solve the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Just needs to be in download folder on internal storage. If you're planning to flash it with magisk manager, you'll want the .plz files instead. If you want to attach then use ytva_only_attach_to_playstore.plz and ytva installer zip. Install in magisk manager.
[Android Apps and Games] Ashraf Iraqian:
iam doing every step well but no chance "unlucky"

i have to full wipe my phone to fix this annoying issue.

thank you bro. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sk8223:
Have you tried using the installer instead of the Magisk repo? I hope you did and will report back with results! I'm curious. I might have to remove this mod and go back to Newpipe because of the auto-update issue, but if the standard version works...
[Android Apps and Games] terrorist96:
Thanks! I didn't see this difference initially because I didn't realize I had to kill the app in order for it to appear. Though I'm not seeing a difference in the PiP video.

Yes, that is true, but it would be for a more refined UX if those two toggles were in their own separate group, and toggling one would gray out the other. Or better yet, make it just one row called Theme, and then offer three choices: Default, Black watch, and Black everywhere.

____

So I am still unsure about the Codec Override options.

I see that Dynamic player is supposed to affect vertical videos, however I tried viewing a vertical video and couldn't discern a difference between Dynamic player being on/off.

It seems like enabling Resolution Checks will not limit the resolutions available in very high quality videos. The New Action Bar option looks to remove the YouTube logo in the upper left and the search button, and adds a search bar instead.

Request: Please support the "Video Enhancer" available on Samsung phones. For example, the only apps I currently see that are available are:

Video Player (default on the phone)

Google Play Movies & TV

YouTube

VLC

Please make Youtube Vanced available here too.

See: https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/how-to-enable-video-enhancer/

-----

Also, I am noticing that my history is no longer working, even though it was working when I first installed YT Vanced. Searching this thread shows that I have to merge my brand account with my Google account? However, as I mentioned, I checked and made sure history was working when I first installed YT Vanced. What gives?

-----

Also, a small thing I noticed is that when using black theme, the divider between "Recent" and "History" on the library tab is white while all other dividers are gray.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Seriously? You answered your own question. It happens when it happens. Are you using an adblocker? Because you need to whitelist s.youtube.com as well.

Your search should have revealed that. Also need to merge accounts. For some it's one or the other, for others it's both. Why even ask if you didn't try?

More spoon-feeding.

[Android Apps and Games] bartleby999:
Sorry I have no idea then. I asked because I had the same issue on the Root version and it was caused by a Magisk Module I used (and set up incorrectly) to pass SafetyNet. But I assume that doesn't apply to you if you're using non-root.

I assume you've tried toggling the Max Resolution setting in Vanced Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Arathonk:
Yes ofcourse max resolution is on. Also tried multiple codec settings.

When I click any link in description, it takes me to YouTube premium in chrome. Doesn't open the actual link. Anyone facing the same? I'm using non root version. Everything stock on OP5.
[Android Apps and Games] Cablespider:
An easy solution that works like a champ. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Normal behavior for non-root, I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong please). I only used non-root for a few weeks back when Vanced / YouTube first transitioned to split apk and lost Magisk compatibility temporarily, but from what I understand non-root is installed as a different app entirely (different ID versus root, which replaces stock instead of installing side by side). So when you open certain links, it'll just open in the stock app or browser instead.

See if this helps: https://support.google.com/android/thread/14738946?hl=en

But again, I don't have much experience with non-root version, and someone may be able to explain it better and/or provide you with a better solution.

Very happy it's working smoothly for you! On about half my devices I tested on, I had to go through the uninstall / clear data / reinstall process, but it always ultimately worked like a charm in the end! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
That's not the problem but it shows me this. It wasn't happening before.
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Ah, I see what you're talking about. Thanks for the screenshot too, I had it in my mind the other way around (trying to open youtube links from Chrome). My bad. Yeah that's weird.

It's a long shot, since it doesn't exactly seem related, but maybe you could try resetting the "Open by default" setting for the Vanced app? (Settings, Apps, select or search youtube app, Open by default)... Otherwise hopefully someone else can explain the behavior or maybe has the same thing going on. Good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Not opening from chrome. Read the previous post again. When opening links from description in youtube vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] i5lee8bit:
Yeah that's what I said... I had it in my head the other way around, but since you're trying to open an external link from the YouTube (vanced) app, I figured it would be worth checking the app setting for the "Open by default" preference for the app. Like I said, it's a long shot and someone else may have better ideas.
[Android Apps and Games] anuraganasane:
Open by default doesn't work in this case. And the link I'm opening is not youtube link.
[Android Apps and Games] asafgolan:
For some reason many videos, but not all, won't allow me to change quality at all and only play in low resolution. The quality option in the video settings is not even available for them. However, they play in higher resolution when viewing in chrome app.

Other videos play great and I do have the option to choose the resolution.

Already tried reinstalling the app and I even did a factory reset to my tablet (Alldocube iplay20) but the issue still remains.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Vanced Manager, About - tap several times to the version number to enable Developer's mode.

Thank you for your answer. I tried enabling max resolution like you suggested but unfortunately that didn't solve the issue.

Edit: I installed an older version and that seems to have fixed the issue.

[Android Apps and Games] Mr. Matey:
Are there any plans to revert the five navigation buttons to the old way? Or better yet - let user customize which buttons and in what order they want to use? And most importantly - remove that stupid huge 'plus' button that is now right smack in the middle of everything since last update. I for one never use it, as well as the 'explore' button, so I would gladly do away with those.
[Android Apps and Games] Philnicolls89:
The whole vanced app is based on official youtube app, so unfortunately there will be no such changes unless the official app changes.

Problem with the Youtube Vanced App

Hello,

I have the following problem with the Youtube Vanced App and YouTube Music Vanced App

When I play a video with Youtube Vanced on the smartphone in the background, the background mode initially works fine. When I look at the smartphone screen

switch off, the sound of the video continues in the background, but only for exactly 5 minutes, then the YouTube Vanced app interrupts playback.

All energy saving functions are deactivated on my Doogee Y8 smartphone with Android 9.0. The data usage in the background is activated. Also the unrestricted data usage is

activated. The battery optimization function is also set to "Not optimized".

With other apps like Spotify or Amazon Music, the background playback works perfectly when the screen is switched off. So it must be because of the YouTube Vanced app.

With the Vanced Music app, the background playback only works for 5 minutes when the screen is switched off, after which playback is stopped.

The current versions of the apps were installed with the Vanced Manager:

Vanced 15.40.37

Music 3.86.51

microG 0.212 203316

With the Brave browser, there is the menu item "Video playback in background" in the settings. If this function is activated, playback works in the background when it is switched off

The smartphone screen is flawless.

Unfortunately, this function is not available in the settings of the YouTube Vanced and Music apps. It should be added there.

Can you please correct the error and provide an update.

Best Regards ;)

i'm on a new android11 rom with latest magisk beta and it will install sucessfully, but when i then try to launch yt vanced, it shows the 'you need google services, but your device isnt available' message.

But the thing is: I have all google services installed and i tried up-/downgrading, aswell as clearing app data/caches but it just won't work.

The App would work (i can see videos autoplaying in the background and also listen to videos when the youtube player is minimized, but i can just confirm the error message and it will force close after.

any idea what i can do, or might this be a problem with the new rom/magisk?

yea, normally i wouldnt run an antivirus; but when an app requires another app or framework to run, and that second app happens to handle login information, i'm not taking chances even if i do trust the source.

any reason the microG project needs to be further modded to accomodate a youtube app?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
because the original microG doesn't know the non-root version of vanced is YouTube.

it has a different package ID(so it doesn't have to replace the official app, which requires root or Google's secret signing key) and isn't recognized by any other app, except vanced microG.

Hi

When I install Vanced (Root) on my device using Manager, after restarting, it goes back to the original Youtube, having to reinstall Vanced every time I restart. I saw that some people are having the same problem and that one of the solutions is to install the non-root version or with the SAI. I don't want to install the non-root version, but I don't know how to install via SAI, because I didn't find a file in apks format with my language.

I made an attempt by downloading 3 files(root):

dark.apk

config.arm64_v8a.apk

split_config.pt.apk

I compressed the 3 into a zip file and installed with SAI. At first it almost worked, but when I try to access the settings, the Vanced crash.

Could anyone tell me how to manually install Vanced (root)?

My device is Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro with MIUI 12.

Tks

Under "apps and notifications" I can see "Vanced microG. Tapping on it brings up the app info screen. "force stop" is greyed out if it has not been run yet (have not signed in).

If you're looking for the optimization settings..

Device settings - apps and notifications - Advanced - special app access - battery optimization.

Tap on "not optimized" and select "all". You should see the Vanced apps.
