Hello everyone! I have been de-googling my life for a few years. I don’t have official YouTube clients anymore. At this point I use PipePipe, a fork from New Pipe to watch videos.
But as a Spotify and YouTube Music replacement, I am currently using Outer Tune.
My problem is that with or without Proton VPN usage I get errors again and again. despite closing the app, switching off the VPN etc. At this point it’s impossible for me use Outer Tune any longer.
What are you using?
claryfication:
on the long run im looking to build a offline media vault. but for the moment. i want to use a Spotifiy alternative, where there are suggastions… for new music that i like.
i tried Rimusic a while ago can’t say why i find’t like it anymore.
i love making playlist offline with it and PipePipe is a dream but its not right for me for music
If you have a NextCloud instance with NextCloud Music app installed you can use its Ampache or Subsonic API implementation with a client in your devices (I recommend Ampache as the implementation is a literal server clone).
If not, as other people suggested Funkwhale.
If you still depend on YT Music, there is RiMusic as a client but prolly will give you errors too after some time if your network is denylisted.
Could you please elaborate on your last sentence? What do you mean with “errors […] after some time if your network is denylisted”? I am using RiMusic and I indeed run into weird errors where the music stops in the middle.
Google adds extra safe-checks to networks which they consider suspicious automatically so you cannot scrape their websites that easy.
