had anyone else noticed YouTube front end apps/sites unable to get updated lists of videos or any lists at all? I haven't checked all the symptoms to be able to guess the root cause.

i assume YouTube itself hasn't gone down. are they blocking front ends again, maybe in a new way?

Quick "fix" is to enable Fast Mode for the feed, at least in Newpipe/Pipepipe.

Pipepipe: Settings > Feed > Fetch from dedicated feed when available.

    On freetube going into setting->subscriptions and enabling fetch feeds from RSS has fixed it for me.

    It's been down for 2 days for me. The githib page says they know about it.

    A technical work around would just be using your regular browser, and sending the link to your client :(

    Freetube on Fedora seldom works for me.

    Pipepipe generally works better but a couple of days ago my "what's new" page was blank. Channel pages still show the videos. I added all the channels' rss feeds to my rss reader so I can still get notified of new videos.

    @quickenparalysespunk in #Freetube I use this workaround: Settings > Subscription > Fetch feeds from RSS

    Well, that fix for PipiPipe didn't last long.
