This app is an alternative youtube client. You can watch videos and subscribe to channels. Subscriptions are offline.

If you scroll left on main screen you will have access to categories. You can set default category in settings

Subscriptions import and liking/disliking video is only available if you add api key but API KEY IS NOT REQUIRED if it's not clear enough.

Subscriptions can be imported. Import is in pulldown menu on subscriptions page.

Youtube api key instructions: here

To cast to jupii, jupii needs to be running first and connected to device.

Microtube uses SponsorBlock plugin

Mister_Magister's picture

yeah i misremembered version

yeah nothing can be done, works here though

maiigais's picture

Hmm, do you know grayjay android app, interestingly how they handle this youtube stuff.

Mister_Magister's picture

everyone handles it the same its all the same there's no difference. Also app seems to be working for everyone else

maiigais's picture

Sad, will wait, hopefully it will.start working again.

maiigais's picture

Unfortunately, that did not work.

maiigais's picture

Ok, thanks again for tip! :))

maiigais's picture

Assuming in home directory?

Mister_Magister's picture

yes

maiigais's picture

Thank you for fast response! Thumbs up!

Mister_Magister's picture

if you know your way around enough, edit .config/microtube/microtube.conf and remove poToken and poTokenTimer then start the app

maiigais's picture

After update it worked well, but after some videos watched same error appeared: "No video formats available."

Mister_Magister's picture

I'll add button to refresh po token :/

The setting says: Only AVC1 (for older devices without vp9). I guess my 10iii isn't an older device. But I could not find any information on vp9, so I wondered whether I was missing some libraries.

Mister_Magister's picture

anything above xa2 has vp9 so avc1 is not needed unless it doesn't work.

rob_k's picture

Maybe. Download fails though. I can't find anything on vp9. Running X10iii, 5.0.0.62, Tampella

Mister_Magister's picture

what do you mean you can't find anything?

rob_k's picture

After a restart, the video does play

Mister_Magister's picture

Magic?

rob_k's picture

After changing the setting AVC1 to off, and clearing the database from diagnostics, it's possible to skip through the video manually, but I cannot play the video. No sound. Do we need some library updates as well?

Mister_Magister's picture

It could be that your phone doesn't support avc1 playback but in such case I would expect it to just not play. Give me a day or so and i'll try to bring the avc1 back. Please stay tuned

shak3800's picture

I can't play any videos

Mister_Magister's picture

Hopefully its fixed now, there was small hiccup with po token

shak3800's picture

Now i keep getting No video formats available

nkyst's picture

After updating 3.8.2-1 I face the same issue. Any videos I tried to play ended ul to No video format error.

Mister_Magister's picture

Did you read the small warning about avc1?

nkyst's picture

I think I found a solution. AVC1 toggle in the settings did not work (both on and off had the same errors) however, I did clear video database from diagnosric menu, seems the error now disappears

Mister_Magister's picture

Wait, yeah, if you were trying to play video from subscriptions, and it synced some videos from previous version where video id changed so the synced videos did not have video id then yes you wouldn't be able to play the video and get no video formats available
