Hi there - I'm having trouble playing embedded YouTube videos in the Flipboard App on my Note 8. When I click on a video in a Flipboard article, the video box goes black and only the audio will play. This happens with every YouTube video I try to play in Flipboard articles, but non-YouTube videos play fine. I've tried restarting and closing all other apps, but nothing helps. I was wondering if anyone knew of a setting that might help fix this. Thank you.
Anyone having trouble signing into YouTube Vanced on the 2nd beta? I can no longer sign in since I did a fresh install.
In Miui, there is a video toolbox but we can't add YouTube Vanced in manage video apps as list doesn't show installed Vanced. Is there any other way to add YT Vanced in Video Toolbox app list?
Awful news.
Vanced apparently got a cease & desist and will be pulling all links in a few days. Current Vanced should still work until the api is updated. Possibly up to two years but Google could update it anytime. Really awful news since there is currently no good alternatives on Android other than Adguard (which thankfully I have). With Adguard, you can play a video and then click share and select Adguard and it will play the video ad free in the Adguard app but no background play and no sponsorskip.
We can only hope that somehow an alternative is released before the api is updated.

Personally Vanced caused more trouble for me (multiple casting device copies, etc.) than it was worth. How to get around it? Sub to YT. Just sayin'...

Can't link your Google account with Newpipe unfortunately.

YT Premium is priced to high for me to subscribe too. It's basically another Netflix sub which is ridiculous since it doesn't even include sponsorskip.
this is terrible news

Is this for real? Got any source you can reference for authenticity?
nevermind.. checked their official Twitter and confirms it. Kinda figured this would come eventually. Can't get in the way of a company making it's next million to put in the top execs pockets. This is definitely a punch in the balls.
I'm sure someone will come along with a new alternative.

True, but it is possible to import all subscriptions from youtube into NewPipe.

True but Newpipe is just not an ideal alternative. It's slow, the background popup player is buggy and doesn't allow any touch inputs behind the pip screen other than pulling down the notification window and selecting an app through settings. The feed doesn't include what I would expect based on my subs and watch history. I'm thankful it's available for us but it's not even close to being a good alternative to Vanced.
Mod Edit: Quote removed since post removed.
Tried using this just now but it still shows adds and has no background play. Not sure what is needed to get what you and their website claim?
Potential alternative:
Brave Browser blocks all ads and will allow PIP background play as long as you minimize video while it's playing in Fullscreen mode. Seems to work well. Just wish we could get sponserskip and dislike counter but still, this will be usable once Google updates the api.
RIP Vanced. I have Premium but i'll miss the dark OLED theme and the sponsor/reminder skips.
This sucks
Hopefully apkmirror won't take the links down, I've used it for 4 years and had no issues, my grandma uses it too haha
I've got YT vanced on all my family members phones both for root and non root
Sad news, seems all apk links have already been removed from their site already? (Can't download anything from api.vanced).
With their code being available on GitHub & old devs/mods already distributing their own builds earlier in the year, I don't doubt that this will be back in some shape or form (probably by an anonymous dev) when an update is actually needed. I can't really understand Google's decision to take this action though; no one I know personally who owns a Android device knows what Vanced is when I mention it (even the techy people) & whenever a company goes on the warpath in a attempt to destroy something, multiple clones always pop up (sometimes even becoming bigger than the original because of news stories, etc).
I downloaded the Vanced Manager apk and saved it to my Google drive so I will have it to install on phones I upgrade to in the next couple of years. I have YouTube Premium but use YouTube Vanced so I can override the video codecs and watch 4K 2160 videos in 4K instead of the limit of my phone.

hell Id say I'll start taking over the project, but the whole me vs legal Google thing is a little terrifying to think about. I can only imagine how many thousands of people use Vanced, now that Google has focused it's attention to this, they are more than likely looking at each download as potential lost revenue. My thoughts are with the dev who created/maintained this. I really hope Google doesn't try to destroy him financially. I'm certainly not a law student, but I could see them put together one massive lawsuit to try to bury the person/people responsible.

Vanced manager is just a front-end "installer" that links to a download url or api. This will probably stop working in a few days or weeks (hopefully I'm wrong). Hopefully, there will be a decent fork of vanced. It has to be completely anonymous though - and that's the tough part.
i'm still using it on my samsung galaxy core prime run 4.4.4 because youtube is no longer supported as below screenshot.I used older version of youtube vanced because it isn't compatible with latest version of it.I tried to install newpipe,youtube go.But newpipe do not have google play services to sign in google account because i want to i want to comment on video live stream on youtube.Youtube go use google play services so it allows sign in google account but it doesn't allow sign in multiple accounts.I installed vanced and it is great when it allow me to sign in google account and use multiple accounts.I'm so sad to hear that youtube vanced will cease
I hope there will be an app to replace youtube vanced when the api is updated and it will support older android like my smartphone because youtube is no longer supported on my device
Hello!
I have Xiaomi Mi Max 1. Non-root. I have YouTube Vanced (recently updated to ReVanced). My phone opens youtu.be/ links with this app but youtube.com/ with Mi Video. I've tried to set in Activity Launcher the option to ask me about opening any links in Vanced / ReVanced / Mi Video. But it doesn't help. My phone still opens youtube.com with Mi Video. I've tried to tweak it with Open Links With app but it doesn't show me Youtube Vanced/ReVanced when pressing share.
How to force my phone open all youtube links in Vanced/ReVanced?
