I know this has been addressed before but I cannot find the answer I'm looking for. I understand Google broke some version of YouTube such that set resolutions in vanced don't stick i.e setting can be 1080p yet video streams in 480p. My questions are:

1. Is there a fix yet (as of August '19) that doesn't require click from user everytime a video starts i.e like default YouTube app?

2. If not, is it underway possibly with ETA?

Thanks.

Had to pop in for a moment. Had a (well another) death in the family. Need to change the direction of my thoughts. Helping others usually helps!

Just tried it on mine (non root version) and it seems to work. It starts in lower res, then bumps up to my setting (in this case 1080p) as long as the video itself supports the chosen resolution. I also ticked override resolution checks.
[Android Apps and Games] lenana:
I am deeply sorry for your loss..

unfortunately mine (Magisk) almost always sticks to the initial low resolution until i adjust manually, which is hectic as I'm on android TV (Nvidia shield). I've been using stock youtube for a while waiting for a proper fix on this issue but I've just had enough of the ads.
[Android Apps and Games] saironjay:
Actually, it isn't me ?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
That feature could be useful, this much is agreed. But, the yt app itself is closed source. Which makes some features much more difficult (some near impossible) to implement. I think I remember some members of the team commenting on that one (I could be mistaken) and leaning towards it being a tricky one. I think it interfered with some other touch events or features (maybe the accessibility ones or something) making more of a nuisance when attempted.

That, coupled with more and more yt updates breaking features already integrated. At a point it became very time consuming to simply keep the current feature set functional with big "G"s machine gun update schedule. Adding in "challenging" new features became less of a priority.

And the gracious devs found themselves not really having the free time they once did when taking on this incredibly useful and sought after mod. After all it's been going for a quite a while.

Some have life changes that modify their time allotment for passion projects. Of course we don't pry as to what, not our business really. Could be a career change, a new child, a recent tragedy, financial priority changes, etc.

You get the idea.

Bottom line, that feature has been discussed for a very long time by many people. It hasn't been added for any number of reasons. It is a good feature don't get me wrong, and had they thought to add it in the early days of development they would probably still be fighting through the code to keep it in there. But it doesn't seem likely to be added anytime soon no matter how many times you ask or how nicely. They already know that, as far as new features go, that is a very popular one, not to mention useful. and I'm sure that if enough circumstances change to where they are actively adding new features again, that one would likely be in the top five.

Hopefully this is satisfying enough of an answer to stop the back and forth. Arguing with the thread's helpers is not likely going to make a new feature magically appear.

Is there an option or a mod somewhere that allows subtitles to be on when it exists without the auto generated subtitles when no subtitles exist?

I watch a lot of foreign videos and gotta constantly turn subtitles on and off because that auto generated crap is absolutely useless.

[Android Apps and Games] ZionMainframe:
I have a playlist of videos I listen to when I go to sleep. I don't want the entire playlist to play since its long. It would be convenient option for me to play only one. So I was wondering if any option like that exists, so that i don't have to search the video everytime to play it alone. Its fine if there isn't.

Which option are u even talking about? The autoplay toggle doesn't work in playlist. The "Auto repeat linked to autoplay" option in "misc" in vanced setting is not what I'm looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Make one video looped with new playlist that has two files of same video. It will loop one video over and over. Easy fix. You ask for a specific issue that is not requested. You can ask for it from google but I dont think they will take it seriously.

Exactly because everybody uses playlist to have videos go one by one and not for looping one video in playlist of several videos. You can use the method above to loop one song. You just need to make one extra playlist. No need to search a video everytime.

Weird thing you request

Sorry to hear about your loss mate. Be strong.
[Android Apps and Games] qwerty848:
Cool thank you for the reply. I really don't want to argue with anyone (blame my English if it seemed that way? I just don't know what "request to google" means? I'll happily "request from google" but idk how?) I just kept asking here as I simply wasn't sure where to ask/how to get in contact with the devs and while it was nice to hear people agree on the feature being useful I wasn't sure someone actually involved with the app/project was reading. OK I will stop asking here, my bad.

Right now I use a secondary app called "touch lock" to sort of accomplish the same thing. It locks the screen from clicks until you drag and click again. It's for sure not anywhere near as good as having the function integrated, it has to activated from the notification bar and puts color around the screen which is sort of annoying, but it's a tip in case someone else is also having issues with the accidental clicks.
[Android Apps and Games] RootedLee:
Hello. What do you think would be the easiest path for you to implement this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] Bngooz:
So this appeared after that latest update, random searches and random history (well it shows that I have watched some unrelated videos at different times and durations) I absolutely never watched something like them or no one else is using my phone or account.

As soon as I found out I changed my Google account password nothing changed, reinstalled the app nothing changed, uninstalled it and checked the official YT app the problem has stopped.

I installed Vanced again and it came back. I love this all and rly can't feel comfortable with the official YT. But this problem is confusing me and I feel it effects my privacy!

I hope I explained the problem in an understandable way.

Also: I do live in a Russian-Turkish area. But never searched such videos ever (never searched anything in Russian) (some songs in Turkish but never the videos I see in the history or search are something like series and live shows not sure)
[Android Apps and Games] joluke:
Unrelated to this app. Someone had access to your account. Set a 2 step verification and change password
[Android Apps and Games] Bngooz:
Already have it before. I'm 100% sure it's not an account security things I checked the logins that have been made and nothing wrong in that, some of those videos show up as I'm watching or using the app. I immediately check the logins when that happened and still nothing.

If it's not related to the app why it stopped when I uninstalled the Vanced and used the official app only?
[Android Apps and Games] joluke:
You are using the app from http://vanced.app? Or another site!? The issue only happens to you so.. Use the Vance apk and not a rebranded one
[Android Apps and Games] Bngooz:
Yes the same on from the main post.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
They're saying " request to Google" because g makes the app. The devs here mod the original yt app. It's closed source. Which makes the process difficult. Some things cannot be changed, some are hard to change. Then "G" releases an update, usually some minor theme tweak, which breaks the features currently implemented.

So, major changes would likely need to be added by "G". At the very least it would be easier, since they hold all of the cards
[Android Apps and Games] rjm831:
@ Bngooz:

Have encountered same situation once or twice with videos I know i never watched, & found no security issues either. Can't explain it - some Google screwup? But this app is secure, & I wouldn't worry about it as long as your account is secure as well.
[Android Apps and Games] RyuukenZenkou:
well i use adguard to get rid of ads on my non rooted xperia device. but i still get some ads on YT. i havent rooted it because the process seems to be too risky and i dont want to brick it. and i wont do it just to get rid of some ads with a rooted method.

update: seems like it was a bug of adguard. now i dont see any ads anymore. also updated YT vanced.

now i want to know why it crashes when installed on a nokia 1 with android O go edition.:confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

i want to report that when i click on a link of the description of a video, YT vanced is unable to call the browser to see it. it says "unable to open the link". any way to fix it? it happens on version 14.21.54

the strange thing is that it didn't used to happen on older versions.
[Android Apps and Games] MoccaBullFlower:
Hi Guys,

I got a good question for you. My girlfriend was bit un patienced and downloaded and installed vanced and microG from website called "vanced.app" as far as I know it's not official YouTube Vanced site.

Is anyone able to tell me if that is a virus free site or if there are doubts. I'm not computer skilled and anyone able to tell me if the apps are save is a hero for me.

Thanks and best regards

Go to the link provided in the first page of this thread and you can compare the url.

Safest is always to use the link provided by the devs here. Bookmark it.

[Android Apps and Games] Bngooz:
Once or twice? Everyday I wake up to see more than 10 and the worst part is that my home page and suggestions are messed up! I can barely find the videos I follow.

*** I forgot to mention that most of the times when these appear Vanced says I must sign in again or retry refreshing of course that doesn't fix it .. when I go to my accounts (Microg) the account is there (I tried resigning in "not fixed") and then I go to check the account from the official YT (the account is totally okay) except there are these weird history and search.
[Android Apps and Games] Xellotath:
Is there any way to get the detaching from playstore to stick? It seems to work for a few hours, then you wake up the next day and youtube has magically reappeared in the playstore, reenabled auto-update, and replaced the Vanced app.

[Android Apps and Games] abacate123:
Patience is a virtue. Also, why would you want it to be updated everytime? Since youtube don't add anything really useful (nor considerable changes) within their updates, so it's kinda useless for vanced to update everytime...
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Only just over 2 actually ?

Is there anything wrong with the current version that's better in the latest Google YouTube?

Just because the project isn't updated to match every new Google version doesn't mean it's dead!

I saw somewhere you need to install MicroG but I don't know what MicroG is and where to find it
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
Check the downloads in no root versions its clearly visible. Btw here's what worked for me. I installed a custom rom and aroma gapps. Aroma coz It lets u choose which to install so didn't install yt at all and then vanced worked fine (magisk)
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You can't log in to magisk version? That's new. microG is only for non root version. Magisk version should log in automatically just like stock YT. Do you have gapps on your phone? Play services and all? You should just have to tap the icon in the top right corner.
[Android Apps and Games] DevALT:
Thanks I figured it out, I installed the non root apk and then flashed the magisk module.

I had to uninstall both module and apk, rebooted and reinstalled the magisk module to make it work

Watch history not working

I'm loving the app, the dark theme especially is great.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the watch history to work. The history is updated when I watch on my PC, but not on the phone.

s.youtube.com is whitelisted on the adblocker and microG is installed. Is there anything obvious I am missing to make the history work?

It's the non-rooted version.

I believe this was more of a misunderstanding. You made your suggestions in a polite manner and in the correct place, I didn't see any problem with them. I didn't even know OGYT had implemented a different navigation method, that's quite interesting. As for the notification, I guess some Substratum theming can work some magic. I just tried a video and it looked pretty dark to me (using Valerie theme).

This is a stressful thread for regular supporters as many of the questions have been asked so many times before. Let's try to uphold some consideration for one another and not forget that we're all here for the same thing: awesome YT modding! ^_^
[Android Apps and Games] StaticAndNoise:
I've addressed the relevant parts of the FAQ in my post (s.youtube.com whitelisted and no accounts to merge) and the search doesn't have anything to say about what to do in this situation. That is why I asked here.
[Android Apps and Games] brajangdippy:
I went to the Downloads section for my rooted device but the only file I can download is an apk file. The instructions clearly state that for rooted devices install through TWRP. I thought I could only install ZIP files through TWRP. Am I right?
[Android Apps and Games] kaiwanted:
OMG. This is awesome. I use app for non-root devices. Working perfect.

Is not a must but there is a chance to get black theme? I tried all 3 version of app, none of them has black theme.

For now Thaaaaaaaaaaaaankkss a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You need the root APK, and the installer zip. Try the installer section of the webpage where you found downloads. You flash zip in twrp, the zip finds the APK and installs it. As long as it's in download folder on internal storage.

Go into settings/layout settings. Change it to dark or black depending on which version you installed. All of them are white as default. You have to select it in settings.

For Android TV or streaming box you would have to use a mouse to navigate the app.

For Android TV I use SmartYouTubeTV & Blokada to block ads. Blokada should block ads with the standard YT TV app as well.

Hi. Try uninstalling both the app and microG from phone : go to your phone and open settings, find apps, there search for microG and ytVanced and uninstall them. Then, go to the first page and download the newest microG and version of the app you prefer. Install app and then microG. Log in into your Google account and enjoy.

I installed this from Magisk. How do I force detach it from the Play Store? I tried doing this with Titanium Backup, but it's only temporary.

I figured as much, that I'm not the only one with this issue, only move doesn't re-enable auto-updates, thankfully. It IS annoying seeing that notification pop up every time it reattaches, though.

I installed a previous version, no effect. What's more, if I install MicroG, any version, the app crashes, regardless the version of MicroG.

How do I use OGYT and Vanced at the same time?

OGYT works and can login but Vamced doesn't login. I tried installing microG for Vanced but it failes installation.

How do I get vanced to use the already installed microG?

Or any solution much appreciated.

Note microG for OGYT is installed and functional
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
If you're using non root VYT, use the microG from Vanced site - is only for log in.

If you're using VYT flashed via recovery or installed via Magisk, then VYT uses same package name as GYT.

Basically, VYT in this case would "malfunction" if GYT was active concurrently.

I'm not to familiar with the details but this issue you mentioned I've seen often in this thread and soulutions were provided though it seemed to work for some and not for some.

I use non root and in my case, can still have GYT running since the non root version has a different package name.

For non root, imperative to install microG, then VYT APK.. Especially for the latest version. Download only from the link in OP.

If signing in is an issue (unlikely), go to settings, accounts, look for the microG (small g in blue background) and remove the account and log in again.

Do note that the microG for Vanced sign in (non root) is not the same as micro G(apps)..

Sorry if I'm of no help but I had the feeling you may have setup wrongly.

Cheers!

I needed to update my vanced app since it was still on v13... and had troubles casting (not using it that much but it wasn't working well).

Don't know if that is normal ?
