Does anyone have any idea how to fix RIF is Fun login? The login page opens in a webview and allows you to login, but then it stays in webview. There's no "Allow this app to access your reddit account screen". I was still able to login with multiple other patched 3rd party apps though, it seems like this is exclusive to RIF

Btw, at the moment no problems with the magisk module here.

[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
- There is nothing you can do, it's a new issue which affects some users and some not. ReVanced or Extended, root or not, doesn't matter.

- ReVanced team looking at it.

- Atm I switched to Grayjay since ReVanced is totally broken for me, I can't watch anything.

You can also use LibreTube or NewPipe app, or Brave Browser as alternatives.

⚠️ISSUE: Buffering - Playback - Not loading

👉 Announcement by oSumAtrIX 👈

👆​

The buffering - not loading is a new issue and it

may

be related with Google attacking third-party apps.

Is general and exist on both ReVanced & ReVanced Extended.

Seems Root users don't have this issue.

It's Random. Some people (include me) have the issue, some others not.

ReVanced Team is aware and looking at it.

Workarounds till it (and if) get fixed:

If you are rooted, use the Magisk Modules.

[My Recommended solution for Non Root users] Install and use Grayjay app. Awesome app, I am sure you will love it. Beside other features, mainly I prefer it over other clients, because you can adjust search order by time etc. while in other clients below you can't.

Alternative clients: LibreTube and NewPipe/Tubular.

You could use Brave Browser to watch and open youtube videos.

Added this at OP and at FAQ.

ISSUE FIXED ON LATEST REVANCED PATCHES 21/05/2024​

i found a solution which isn't the best, but it works . i use a VPN before watching a video.Yes , the freezing at videos still exists but it lasts a few seconds.then the video starts playing without other freezes.If course it is not the best thing, but i think it's better than nothing

That post wasn't about RIF (Reddit), it was about YouTube ReVanced 😋 for RIF wait the new release of patches, it's seems already fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Chriskinda96:
Oh sorry. I had just woken up and the email notification confused me lol
[Android Apps and Games] spud_work:
These latest developments are a bit weird as I have the same 'pre-baked' apk from here running on 2 samsung devices (s22 and Tab S6) and both are accessing Youtube through the same Google account

The S22 works fine and will play anything.

The Tab 6 won't play anything and then you get the circle of death when you try to play something

So, I suspect the thought that this is account related and some are part of the test of new security features and other accounts are excluded for now, is wide of the mark as it doesn't explain what I am seeing. This isn't network/IP related either, as I have tried both connected to the same Wifi with no difference to what has been noted above

How do you hide videos by specific keywords in YouTube ReVanced Extended?

I have found the following but don't know how to use them:

Thank you for your time.
[Android Apps and Games] trueno2k:
It may not be just account related as I got the same pre-baked YouTube Extended by anddea working albeit only on my Nord 2T ( though this could be short lived ), however, the apk is not working on my main tablet ( P11 Gen2 ) or my previous tablet ( Mediapad M5 8inch ), both tablets having repeatedly having a manner of different versions of Revanced installed on them to no avail... So, no idea what the issue can be...

I don't want to create another dummy account for use on Revanced as it would mean setting up all the channels, notifications, and whatnot for a dummy account on YouTube all over again which I don't have the time or wish to waste time doing so, and I'm definitely not gonna use my real google account for Revanced, this is just a no no...
[Android Apps and Games] trueno2k:
I think I'm just gonna patiently wait impatiently for a better solution hopefully from Revanced Devs to bring me a working solution, none of the alternatives are just not gonna cut it for quick and dirty usages, but hey, thanks for your input...

[Android Apps and Games] brubblu:
This morning I had some playback issues with Revanced, meaning that videos and comments did not load at all. So I tried Libretube and noticed the same problem.

In the unlikely event there was still a problem on youtube's end (there were outages a few days ago if I remember correctly) I opened the original youtube app and after watching a short video (around 3 minutes) and a few unskippable ads I switched back to Revanced and noticed video playback worked again. It was probably just a stroke of luck, but who knows... Retrial, what do you think about this?

Magisk: 24.3

Android: 11

TWRP 3.5.2

Galaxy s20fe

I was following the root method of installing revanced for the first time, and got to step 14 of installing detach.

After flashing detach 3.13 within magisk my phone keeps getting into bootloops. It boots normally, then after ~20 seconds it reboots.

If I'm fast I can unlock my phone during this ~20 seconds and even open magisk app, but then it reboots again.

I tried disabling magisk modules by booting into safeboot. Didn't work.

I tried creating "disable" files inside all my magisk module directories. Didn't work.

Any ideas ?
[Android Apps and Games] 5.1:
Hi,

Enter this command in a command prompt your device and ff:

adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules

And start it.

Good luck,

Sébastien.
[Android Apps and Games] droid0matic:
Thanks but I couldn't make this command work.

Powered off my phone, on my win machine went to platform-tools and hit the command.

Powered on the phone, waited and gave it to bootloop 3-4 times.

Then I rebooted into twrp recovery and checked /data/adb/modules it still has all modules in place.

Just as a sanity check while phone in twrp recovery, 'adb devices' shows the phone and I can enter shell properly.

Any Ideas ?

[Android Apps and Games] shahrilsaidin85:
It works. but only on home feed, not in subscriptions. plus there is no 1080p or higher resolutions.
[Android Apps and Games] droid0matic:
Thanks @5.1 !

I got the command working.

I can confirm it removed all modules from data/adb/modules directory.

But the phone still bootloops 😣

Is it possible detach messed up something with youtube app or play services which causes this bootloops ?

Maybe I should try uninstall/remove youtube and revanced somehow ?
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
If you just forced removing detach, it probably did not clean-up everything

Have you tried rebooting to Android Safe Mode and uninstalling YT and/or Revanced there.

Google for the key-combo and details how to reboot to the Android Safe Mode

If you have fully working TWRP, you can go to:

/data/app/<***SOMETHING***>/com.google.android.youtube-<***SOMETHING***>

and delete that folder from /data/app/

and delete also:

/data/data/com.google.android.youtube

that will remove your YT app (user-installed - ie, not the stock/system YT apk if provided)
[Android Apps and Games] adek89:
Unfortunately also in my case yt revanced died, it worked until I started testing roms, now it works only on the phone (surprisingly the old version with the old micro g works) and on the tablet no version, on each movie either does not turn on or stops after a minute. Someone managed to fix it.? Android 12, lineage os
[Android Apps and Games] mingkee:
It looks like rvx by @inotia00 is back, but setting is a bit different
[Android Apps and Games] droid0matic:
TWRP and adb works fine.

I can go into Safe Mode but it also bootloops after 15-20 second from the moment I unlock password.

Under /data/app/ I can't find youtube at all...

But I do see revanced under /data/app/

And /data/user/0/ is actually empty

Strange...
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Sorry, check under /data/data/com.google.android.youtube

instead of /data/user/0/... (/data/user/0 is mount in Android)

But installation apk files and libs go to /data/app/*/...

/data/data contains subfolders with caches, databases and so for the installed apps

---

Also, if you use root Revanced YT, then its package name is the same as of the official YT app:

com.google.android.youtube

Your *revanced* is from the Revanced Manager

I don't know for the mon-root Revanced package name (it must be different), but in that case it does not collide with the official YT package name and then there is no point in using detach with no-root Revanced

I have both YT and YT Music, both RVX root, installed as modules (some older versions, but no troubles with buffering or anything)

Since using the modules, I have no RV Manager
[Android Apps and Games] droid0matic:
I used RVX root method to patch YT as first and only app.

Then on step 14 of the the rvx root install guide flashed detach and reboot into current bootloop situation I'm in.

Looks like my /data/app/ doesn't have any youtube app installed.

I still have the revanced manager app inside /data/app/ . Should I try to delete it ?

And under /data/data I found parallel instance of YT (its like a dual app I used) and two other gms YT directories which I don't know what they are.

Should I try to delete any of them as well ?

See attachment.

I have a TWRP backup of /data partition just after the bootloop started and before I deleted all magisk modules. If it helps I can restore and try a different method to clean detach somehow.
[Android Apps and Games] zgfg:
Every app has its distinctive package name and the folder on /data/data with that package name belongs to that app.

Please google about for more details

com.google.android.gms = Google Play Services and that file there is probably something about your previous YT installation that GMS keeps about. I never paid attention to, cannot tell you would it help you if you delete that file or would it further complicate

If you go to that folder you will find the files with the package names of the other apps installed on your phone.

Btw, in TWRP, Advanced you can also use File Manager - you will have better view of what is in some System and Data folders and subfolders than just by picking-up something by the find command from TWRP Terminal

I shortly googled and indeed that the second package name you list is sone 3rd party Second Space app. No idea about, and what can happen if you installed RV YT by RV Manager but on that Second Space, used detach, later abbruptly removed /data/adb/modules...

Maybe you should factory reset, reinstall the ROM and next time use common and documented methods without messing RV with that Dual Space

Grayjay app is great. it does not have the feature to select region right?
[Android Apps and Games] Retrial:
I think no. Not big deal tho.

I like grayjay because you can search by time/chronological while in newpipe and libretube is not possible. It has some issues here and there but generally is good alternative until ReVanced get fixed.

In my family there are three phones and two tablets. On phones there is no buffering problem.

[Android Apps and Games] Gunny_McSmith:
I also started having the mentionned issue a few days ago, but only on my new tablet, with a freshly installed Revanced app. For some reason, it was working properly on my phone, but not on the tablet. After some time, I got it to work!

It seems to be related to the latest GMScore/MicroG version found on Github (this one: app.revanced.android.gms-240913008-signed.apk)

I was able to find an older APK install file from back in March on my phone, ( app.revanced.android.gms-240913006-signed.apk) and reinstalled that version instead. And voilà! no more buffering and lag.

Hope it works for some of y'all!
[Android Apps and Games] ashish1989:

[Android Apps and Games] spud_work:
Thank you! This has got me back up and running on my tablet too. However, there are some odd things, such as no text description for any of the videos on my homepage, which it took a couple of restarts to fix.

*update* 45 minutes later, the buffering problem has returned :(
[Android Apps and Games] strumka:
Video buffering still not working (S20 FE, not rooted, both RVX and ReVanced fail)

Interesting findings:

1. With newest microG it starts buffering EXACTLY* at 0:10 on every video, past that it will not load at all while unmodded YT works fine

*unless the video is resumed from a saved timestamp (the red bar underneath thumbnail) in which case it will fail 10 seconds after the timestamp

2. Sometimes shorts will repeat the first 1-3 seconds for 1-3 times, and then hang around 5 or 10 seconds exactly

3. Some videos with this old microG load less than 1s probably some caching thing
[Android Apps and Games] trueno2k:
I too tried the older version of GMS core @Gunny_McSmith linked and still no luck with removing the buffering issue, you must have gotten lucky, congrats to you @Gunny_McSmith...

ah poop, it's back as well on my tablet (S9 FE, unrooted). It was working perfectly yesterday....

My device is rooted, however I was using the normal install with microg.

I followed the instructions, uninstalled microg, and YT removed the folders, rebooted, installed YT from apk, patched, mount install. Still the same, still buffering.

Good day fellow tinkerers.

Does any of you know which app works for youtube without ads?

Revanced seems to lost the battle with buffering.
[Android Apps and Games] Darayavahus:
Grayjay looks slick and definitely doesn't have that pesky stuttering issue, like revanced does. But it doesn't allow me to run my G account and can't really post comments. I guess I can live with that. No ads and background play is a must.

thank you for suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] Skeuomorph:
I gave it a try, but I'm afraid it didn't work at all, since now whenever I run YT it immediately opens Brave and loads the Github page with the latest version of MicroG. Quite subtle in letting me know it will have none of that old version, uh? 😅

I'm actually still on an older version of RV-Ext that I used to download from Wolfcity (afaik, dead since time ago) and it works fine for me - no buffering or anything

I recently updated YT Music RV Ext module (also from another link, not j-hc from the post #1) and I have no buffering

And History always worked fine for me, however, YT History URL must not be blocked by ad-blocker
