How do you stop in-video advertisement? :) This is a *great* question! I do not know *how* they stop *all* the in-video advertisements but they do stop them. You can play, play, play, play, play, to your heart's content, and you will *never* see any in-video advertisements. https://newpipe.schabi.org The open-source page on New Pipe says they only use the public YouTube API so the API must be what is used to play those annoying in-video ads. https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/org.schabi.newpipe Does this app know how to do that? Yes. You will *never* see an in-video ad when you use the New Pipe player, but it's even better than that as New Pipe allows you to use *any* player you want - and you *still* don't see any in-video ads. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/ Since they use the youtube public API, there must be a way in the public api to play those annoying in-video ads - where apparently New Pipe doesn't do it. The good news is that the New Pipe open source code is constantly improving - so it should be ready for Windows by now. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues The code is open source so if you know how to read code (I don't), you can see exactly how the New Pipe core extractor works. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor Why can't the open-source New Pipe code be compiled for Windows? https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe |

Your other question is a *great* question, which is how does New Pipe block what you call 'slipstream' video ads. Your other cynicism is also valid which is why hasn't Google blocked them yet, even though New Pipe code is open source and even though New Pipe has been around for *years*? I don't know the answer to either of your great questions. It's also valid that two people here (John Doe & Mark Lloyd) have inferred that Adblock does everything that New Pipe does which is: 1. Blocks all slipstream video ads 2. Extracts audio from the video and saves it on your computer 3. Extracts the video and saves it on your computer 4. Plays using any video player you want it to play on 5. Searches YouTube videos and plays with the screen off etc. The only thing I'm waiting for is confirmation from either John Doe and Mark Lloyd as to whether Adblock does all that which they imply it does. |

I don't know how. But they do. I also get your cynicism that Google could block New Pipe since it directly competes with YouTube Red features. However, the fact is that NewPipe is *years* old. The fact is that if Google wanted to kill them - it wouldn't take years for Google to block them - would it? Let's try to stay on topic where I will answer your questions as best I can. The on-topic perfectly valid question here is whether or not a New Pipe functionality exists on Windows yet - and how hard would it be for a coder to compile the code on Windows since it's all Open Source Code? |

I appreciate that you are trying to stay on topic, which is how to get the functionality of New Pipe in a single executable on Windows (and not by multiple methods - none of which do what New Pipe does). I appreciate your advice on how to download a video but most of the time I'm streaming the video (because I just want to watch it without what Man-wai Chang called "slipstream ads"). If I had wanted to *only* download videos, rest assured I know all about downloading videos, probably better than most people do, but maybe not as well as you do since you use a browser to do what I'd just use a simple one-line command to do (so you may know more than I do on how to download 1-hour, 2-hour and 3-hour videos which is what I generally download if I feel the need.) On Windows, I download any YouTube video by running this simple command: C:] youtube-dl.exe -f 18 {URL} Or I extract just the audio with this simple command: C:] youtube-dl.exe -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 {URL} But most of the time I'm just streaming the video, where you're the *third* person to imply that AdBlock does that, all by itself, without even a browser, which is odd becuase that's not what I think AdBlock does. Everyone thinks AdBlock is Jesus Christ incarnate, but it's just a host-file blocker - which if I wanted that, I'd use Acrylic DNS instead (or maybe just the MVP Hosts file). AdBlock is not Jesus Christ incarnate - although everyone here seems to think it is. In fact, you're the third person to imply Adblock does everything that New Pipe does. And yet, nobody has answered the simple question which is how AdBlock, all by itself, removes what Man-wai Chang calls "slipstream" ads from any YouTube video? This is a simple question which can be answered by anyone who uses AdBlock while streaming YouTube videos. While this thread was never intended to be an AdBlock versus NewPipe question, since three people intimated that AdBlock does everything that New Pipe does - the main question is whether Ad Block does the *simplest* thing that New Pipe does. It's a simple question, which nobody has answered yet. And I can't tell from the AdBlock ads! https://youtu.be/9iL8pGHgBjU In fact, the NYT says AdBlock is designed to *allow* ads??????? https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/19/b...-the-door.html So I'm forced to ask the 3 people who suggested AdBlock a simple question. *Does AdBlock block all slipstream ads from inside of videos or not?* |

Ad Block is a completely different tool than New Pipe is, where they're not in the least similar. To your point, I'm sure a *combination* of a half dozen Windows tools will do what New Pipe does all by itself, but that was never the question. The question is just whether anyone knows of a New Pipe app on Windows, and if it doesn't yet exist, then how hard would it be for a coder to compile New Pipe on Windows from the open source code. |

I appreciate that you are trying to stay on topic, which is how to get the functionality of New Pipe in a single executable on Windows (and not by multiple methods - none of which do what New Pipe does). Windows has a native adblocker feature to allow YouTube streaming without ads, so a New Pipe clone isn't needed for ad blocking. Unlike Android, Windows has no need for separate adblocking software except as browser addons. The completely separate tasks of downloading + mp3 extraction are handled by browser addons or standalone software. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a browser addon that can download and extract from YouTube vids. |

It's like accusing everyone of locking their car doors when they park at the mall of hiding drugs in the vehicle. Sure, trolls change their headers and spammers do too. But a troll actually trolls, and a spammer actually spams. There is no crime in changing headers, and, in fact, I've posted probably ten thousand times on Usenet over the decades and never once have I trolled or spammed. 1. I ask a question. 2. I respond to every valid response. 3. I attempt every viable suggestion. 4. I report back on what I found. 5. I generally *improve* the overall *tribal knowledge* of the group. (Or at least I try.) I don't even use a Usenet reader. I'm on Linux most of the time that I'm using Usenet (where the tools I use originated with rn and tin on SunOS and Solaris). I have no idea what *any* of the headers say since they're all culled out of a dictionary lookup and only statically tied to the original post. Those decades-old scripts are a mess by now, but I don't even know *who* I am when I post since that isn't of any concern to the question. Why would it matter if "joe" posted or "bill" or "bobby" or "sue" when all that matters is the question. The header contains nntp posting information that is meaningless. Some people here use Usenet to banter and to cajole and to make "friends". I don't. I use Usenet to expand my knowledge and to give back to the group with that expanded knowledge. I ask for your help - and I give help back in return. I don't ask you to be my friend and I don't need you to know who I am. All you need to know is what the question is, and what the answers become. For that, you just need to know the SUBJECT and BODY. Everything else is meaningless to the question. You may have a "banter with friends" use model for Usenet. My model is "ask for & improve knowledge". Two different models. Yours requires all headers to remain static. Static headers would be meaningless in my model (and privacy leaking). |

Thanks for that idea as I hadn't thought of an Android emulator on Windows. The effort to find the best Android emulator is the trick of course. Generally I ask others what is the best. Of course, I google first, where I look for top-10 lists, where I cull the lists together to find if certain emulators always show up in the top handful.

It looks like there's a one-piece Windows version he https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html It needs VC++ 2010 runtime. But it's not GUI. Wikipedia says there are frontends available, but doesn't provide links. Typical OSS: Great idea. Probably great functionality. Detestable usability limited to DOS-esque command lines that were outmoded 25 years ago. Since I always give back, in detail, for any help, here is a tutorial that should work for anyone. You should be able to cut and paste the steps and get going in minutes. If not, please tell me what I need to correct! 1. Choose any test video that you know will have slipstream ads inside it. https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg (Happy New Year 2018) 2. Obtain the latest ffmpeg if you don't have it (you'll need ffprobe.exe). http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ This is the one I used: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win...n64-static.zip 3. You'll only need ffmpeg if you want to extract audio. I put the three ffmpeg executables in the current directory. However you can add them to your path if you like. AFAIK, you only need 1 of the 3 ffmpeg executables (ffprobe.exe). cmd copy c:\path\ffmpeg\bin\ffprobe.exe .\ffprobe.exe (Or just put the extracted c:\path\ffmpeg\bin\ in your PATH variable.) If you get these errors when running the youtube extractor, it's the path: "writing DASH m4a. Only some players support this container. " "Install ffmpeg or avconv to fix this automatically." 4. Obtain the latest working youtube-dl.exe (get the right one!) This is the one I use because it works and doesn't require python! From: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe Size: 7760634 bytes (7 MB) SHA256: C0396D47480D7C9A14464A8E51E79993F88BD76D6BCFDB1131 2EFD0D88F3C5C7 5. Doublecheck that the basics are working fine & that you're up to date: cmd youtube-dl.exe --version Initially reported: 2017.07.15 So I updated it: cmd youtube-dl.exe -U Which reported: Updating to version 2017.12.31 ... Waiting for file handle to be closed ... Updated youtube-dl to version 2017.12.31. Testing it again: cmd youtube-dl.exe -U Now reports: youtube-dl is up-to-date (2017.12.31) And doublechecking the version: cmd youtube-dl.exe --version Now reports: 2017.12.31 Optionally, output the manpage: cmd youtube-dl.exe -h youtube-dl.man.txt cmd type youtube-dl.man.txt | more 6. Run the command below to download any YouTube video as an mp4: cmd youtube-dl.exe -f 18 https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading webpage [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Extracting video information [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading MPD manifest [download] Destination: Happy New Year 2018-n6eXtBbhpYg.mp4 [download] 100% of 3.44MiB in 00:01 cmd dir 30-Dec-17 10:14 AM 3,602,418 Happy New Year 2018-n6eXtBbhpYg.mp4 Note that you can actually add the ads as this is an option! --include-ads (Download advertisements as well) 7. Now try to extract the audio as an opus file: cmd youtube-dl.exe -x https://youtu.be/n6eXtBbhpYg [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading webpage [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Extracting video information [youtube] n6eXtBbhpYg: Downloading MPD manifest [download] Destination: Happy New Year 2018-n6eXtBbhpYg.m4a [download] 100% of 621.97KiB in 00:00 [ffmpeg] Correcting container in "Happy New Year 2018-n6eXtBbhpYg.m4a" [ffmpeg] Post-process file Happy New Year 2018-n6eXtBbhpYg.m4a exists, skipping 8.

Addendum: I do not use this implementation of the same name! https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2017.07.15/youtube-dl.exe Referenced in https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html (This implementation failed on the harder test videos.) Addendum: I do not use the all-in-1 GUI which failed on my harder tests. https://sourceforge.net/projects/youtube-dl-gtk/ Please let me know if you use these steps what I need to fix. I tested every step so it "should" work for you, cut and paste. |

Click... click... https://youtu.be/pEN_htHtt_c OK. It didn't work. It just put text-based stderr into the output file. Or I extract just the audio with this simple command: C:] youtube-dl.exe -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 {URL} ...though I admit a single-stage dowbload-and-audio-extract would be handy (unless downloadhelper has a switch of which I'm unaware - anyone?). Is there a GUI for this "youtube-dl.exe" that would save all that typing (especially with the addition of destination specification)? Yes. There is a GUI. I don't use the GUI, but there is a GUI. The confusion is that if you don't know which to use, you spend all your time figuring it out as there are at least *four* different youtube-dl-stuff implementations, each with different requirements where two of the implementations have the exact same name (but they have greatly different requirements!). I don't use it, but this is the all-in-one GUI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/youtube-dl-gtk/ This is the command line one that I use: https://youtube-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl.exe If you don't already have ffmpeg, you'll need it for the one that I use: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ For example, this is the ffmpeg version that I'm using: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win...n64-static.zip The youtube download executables I would *not* use are these: https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2017.07.15/youtube-dl.exe (requires python) https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2017.07.15/youtube-dl (also requires python) If you need more help, I have written a tutorial that you can just cut and paste and follow as I have written tens of thousands of them because I write them every time I install anything. |

Of all things! :) Here's the manpage where the point of the man page is that it does a *lot* more than just download a video. Usage: youtube-dl.exe [OPTIONS] URL [URL...] Options: General Options: -h, --help Print this help text and exit --version Print program version and exit -U, --update Update this program to latest version. Make sure that you have sufficient permissions (run with sudo if needed) -i, --ignore-errors Continue on download errors, for example to skip unavailable videos in a playlist --abort-on-error Abort downloading of further videos (in the playlist or the command line) if an error occurs --dump-user-agent Display the current browser identification --list-extractors List all supported extractors --extractor-descriptions Output descriptions of all supported extractors --force-generic-extractor Force extraction to use the generic extractor --default-search PREFIX Use this prefix for unqualified URLs. For example "gvsearch2:" downloads two videos from google videos for youtube-dl "large apple". Use the value "auto" to let youtube-dl guess ("auto_warning" to emit a warning when guessing). "error" just throws an error. The default value "fixup_error" repairs broken URLs, but emits an error if this is not possible instead of searching. --ignore-config Do not read configuration files. When given in the global configuration file /etc /youtube-dl.conf: Do not read the user configuration in ~/.config/youtube- dl/config (%APPDATA%/youtube-dl/config.txt on Windows) --config-location PATH Location of the configuration file; either the path to the config or its containing directory. --flat-playlist Do not extract the videos of a playlist, only list them. --mark-watched Mark videos watched (YouTube only) --no-mark-watched Do not mark videos watched (YouTube only) --no-color Do not emit color codes in output Network Options: --proxy URL Use the specified HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS proxy.

Values which are not known are excluded unless you put a question mark (?) after the operator. For example, to only match videos that have been liked more than 100 times and disliked less than 50 times (or the dislike functionality is not available at the given service), but who also have a description, use --match-filter "like_count 100 & dislike_count ? 50 & description" . --no-playlist Download only the video, if the URL refers to a video and a playlist. --yes-playlist Download the playlist, if the URL refers to a video and a playlist. --age-limit YEARS Download only videos suitable for the given age --download-archive FILE Download only videos not listed in the archive file.

You can use it that way, but it definitely isn't "just a host-file blocker". which if I wanted that, I'd use Acrylic DNS instead (or maybe just the MVP Hosts file). Neither of those replace the functionality of Adblock Plus. Thanks for that correction. To my credit, I did Google for what AdBlock does, and I already posted the NY Times article about it where even its own owners said it's badly named for what it does. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/19/b...-the-door.html Here's a direct quote, which shows that its value equation is confusing: "It's just the words we use for it that are confusing people," Ben Williams, director of communications and operations at Eyeo, said in an interview. "We are called Adblock Plus, and for branding reasons, we are not going to call ourselves something different. But if we could, we would call ourselves something like 'web customizer,' because that's really what we want to do for our users." The entire article explains more about the confusion, since AdBlock gets its revenue from whitelisting ads in the first place. Nonetheless, confusion aside, AdBlock doesn't do 9 tenths of what New Pipe does, even as it "might" do the most important 1 tenth that New Pipe does, which is block inline inside-the-video ads. And yet, nobody yet has actually confirmed the answer to this question, where the question has to be asked because people are watching YouTube inside of a browser it seems (which is odd but that's what they do) and where browsers have *lots* of different types of ads. Q: Does AdBlock block the inside-the-video inline video ads on YouTube? |

At least it's free, anyway. :) Hi Mayayana, I don't argue with you that I think differently, although I think my thinking is logical in that I argue that a single open source tool that does *everything* is better than a dozen tools that do the same things. The cost in finding a tool that does everything is the problem because there are myriad easy solutions that do each of the things individually. For example, you use a global ad-blocking solution such as Acrylic DNS, which you know most people haven't bothered to learn, while some people use a hosts file instead to block ten thousand hosts - while most people just fall prey to the AdBlock solution, which even they must admit only works in a small world inside a single browser at a time. My feelings on AdBlock are that it's a small bandaid that works fine for the small thing that it does - but - for example - it doesn't download videos and it requires a browser and it doesn't extract videos and it doesn't search for videos and it doesn't play videos, etc. So anyone who suggests AdBlock didn't understand what New Pipe does. So it's clearly my fault for not explaining that New Pipe does a lot more than AdBlock could ever do - so AdBlock can't possibly answer the question. Having explained that simple miscommunication on my part, the odd thing here is that nobody who uses AdBlock has confirmed that AdBlock blocks what Man-wai Chang called "slipstream" ads. Can we get a simple "yes" or "no" from the AdBlock proponents? Q: Does AdBlock block the YouTube internal "slipstream" video ads? |
Is there an ad-free YouTube clone for Windows like NewPipe is for Android?

I appreciate the correction, where Usenet is a tough medium when people start with pre-conceived notions - and where I generally think differently than do most people about KISS simple software solutions. I don't disagree that AdBlock will block ads, but I just want someone to confirm we're talking about the *same* kind of ads, since there are multiple kinds of ads when you add the complexity of a web browser. For a web browser, there are so many types of ads that it's not funny. The only ad that the question is concerned with are the "slipstreamed" ads that are *inserted* inside a YouTube video. I do have a Firefox extension on my computer to download from YouTube. I don't need to do this on Android. The problem with Firefox extensions is that they only work for Firefox browsers, so you're constantly adding extensions to Chrome & Windows based browsers if you go the route of extensions. Also, the problem with browsers is that they have a huge host of other issues, and a huge host of other ways to throw ads at you - so a browser is really a bad tool (IMHO) to use from those perspectives - to use to simply download or extract a video. I'm not at all saying that your browser-download and extraction method doesn't work - and if all you use is a single browser - and if you do lots of other things in that browser to set it up - I'm sure it's just as good. I simply argue that this single step is better in a whole bunch of ways: youtube-dl.exe -f 18 URL Having said all that - I appreciate the help and advice - where I would just want someone to *confirm* that the AdBlocker everyone seems to love actually blocks the one type of (slipstream) ads inside a YouTube video. |

It's still quite useful and very handy. In some instances you can do more quicker with the console than you can with the mouse. It's just not for everyone. -- Please visit our moderators personal page: https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php Now for a cheeky message from our sponsors: The answer is easier when the question is hypothetical. |

But, I found an excellent plugin for the firefox browser which tends to require no real effort on my part to grab the video/audio I want without having to jump thru any hoops or install additional software. I've yet to run across a video/audio file it can't pull a local copy of for me, and, it's not specific to youtube. Not only does it do a fantastic job of getting me exactly what I want, there's no slipstreamed advertising or re-encoding required on my part. It pulls the specific video in the format I want (if multiple formats of the video are available) without having to transcode, re-encode or strip anything. And, it's able to pull at the speed I'd normally directly download a file with too. IE: much faster than watching said video. https://flashgot.net/ It can do it with the browsers built in downloading code, or, if you have one or more supported download managers, pass it along to them. I actually have orbit on this machine (it's not freeware or wasn't when I obtained it) and I can switch over to it if I'd prefer, but, I rarely find a need to do so. -- Please visit our moderators personal page: https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php Now for a cheeky message from our sponsors: 'I'd like a herring burger with loads of mayo.' - Opus |
