> [!NOTE] > - This release removes support for using public Piped instances, as there haven't been any working ones in a while - you may however still add your custom instance in the settings. > - Our versioning scheme changed to be more concise - I.e., we dropped the useless 0 in front of the version numbers, and directly jumped from 0.30.0 to this release, 31.0. > > ## Release Highlights > Most noteworthy new features: > - Big downloads player refactor: We now use the same player for downloads as for online streaming, so you can use much more features than with the old downloads player. > - Add search functionality for playlists and downloads > - Support for SponsorBlock's exclusive content and self promotion - in your feed, you can now see if a video is a fully sponsored video at first glance due to a marker on the video thumbnail > - SponsorBlock support for downloads > - And a lot more ... > > As we have a zero-tolerance AI policy, all the changes were done by real humans and took real efforts. So thank you everyone who contributed to this release, and enjoy the release everyone else! ### :sparkles: New Features - [`2d2142d`](https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/commit/2d2142df6835830c36bfa66f79807215741e33c1) -

> [!NOTE] > This release adds a new option called "Full Local Mode", which allows you to use LibreTube completely independent of Piped and do all API requests directly to YouTube's servers, similar to NewPipe. This wouldn't be possible without the help of the NewPipe Extractor library, credits to its maintainers. > > Thereby I also want to welcome @FineFindus to the LibreTube organization and thank him for contributing and helping with the development a lot recently, without his help many bugs would probably not have been spotted early enough before the release :) > ## New features * feat: add "full

> [!NOTE] > This release adds support for **local feed extraction** in order to circumvent the current subscription feed issues at Piped, where the feed not properly updated. To enable it, navigate to `Settings` -> `Instance` and set the preference accordingly. Please note that this might take a lot of time if you have a lot of subscriptions, and apart from that directly connects you to YouTube for fetching information about new videos. > > Additionally this PR updates the NewPipeExtractor to v0.24.4 in order to fix the `iOS Player response not valid` errors when attempting to play a video. > > For everyone who didn't notice yet: If you don't have access to a private Piped instance that's not IP-banned by YouTube, you should likely enable `Local streams extraction` in the settings if facing `Sign in to confirm you're not a bot` errors. As the `Local feed extraction` option, please keep in mind that when enabled, LibreTube directly fetches playback information from YouTube. > ## Major new features * feat: support for predictive back

### Most importantly, this release contains a workaround for the recent AntiBot protection changes by YouTube. ## FAQ about the current situation - Help! I can't play videos? If you rely on public Piped instances, go to `Settings` -> `Instance` and enable `Disable Piped proxy` as well as `Local streams extraction`. Disclaimer: The bot-blocked API call will now be done directly from your IP address, which is obviously less privacy-friendly. Using a VPN is recommended, but might not always work since YouTube blocks IPs of VPN providers as well. - Help! I can't add videos to a playlist? If you're using the app with a Piped account, it's sometimes not possible to add videos to a playlist due to Piped. If you don't use a Piped account, playlists should work as expected after this release. - If you're self-hosting a private Piped instance, everything is most likely still working normally anyways. - Why did it take two weeks to publish a fix? Because open source developers also have a private life and do all that work in their free time without any monetary compensation. - If you consider this project useful, please consider making a small donation to show your appreciation via https://liberapay.com/Bnyro or https://github.com/sponsors/Bnyro. Thank you! - Can we expect more such breaking changes in the future? Only YouTube knows. ## New features * feat: local streams extraction by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6381 * feat: quick share action to add video to playlist by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6219 * feat: share dialog redesign (including copy link feature) by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6236 * feat: show total playlist duration by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6240 * feat: button to screenshot/capture current frame by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6304 * feat: improve about activity and device info dialog by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6269 * feat: button to play recent videos from a channel by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6218 * feat: button to swap sponsorblock segment start and end time by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6237 * feat: make video, playlist, channel title/description selectable by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6272 * feat: support for directly playing urls inserted in search bar by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6300 * feat: use watch position as timestamp when sharing by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6382 * feat: watch history pagination by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6339 * feat: added sorting method in downloads by @amandeepsinghjamwal in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6194 * feat: allow timestamp inputs in dearrow submit dialog by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6238 ## Bug fixes * fix: bugs in time parsing logic causing false (milli) second count by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6239 * fix: crash when search view destroyed before suggestions fetched by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6335 * fix: download fails due to filename length by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6337 * fix: improve exoplayer scoping by @Pittvandewitt in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6307 * fix: same videos in channel fragment repeating 3/4 times by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6273 * fix: scroll state of trends not preserved by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6271 * fix: visibility of UI elements in Downloads by @nik-conder in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6314 * fix: welcome activity text in light mode by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6268 ## Refactor * refactor: Simplify serializable extensions by @Isira-Seneviratne in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6343 * refactor: add donation button to action menu by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6386 * refactor: improve bookmarks performance and reliability by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6385 * refactor: reduce amount of api calls for adding video to playlist by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6384 * refactor: simplify ProxyHelper.kt by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6383 ## Chore * chore: optimize imports by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6274 * chore: remove no longer needed safe dot calls by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6220 * chore: shorten Picture in Picture string in player menu by @Bnyro in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6301 ## New Contributors * @amandeepsinghjamwal made their first contribution in https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/pull/6194 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/compare/v0.24.0...v0.25.1
