Is there a YouTube player with no ads app like AT New Pipe for Windows?

I just searched the Internet for (YouTube red clone on
android) and got nothing related to this nym-shifting troll's
claim.

Has anyone in the Android group used the alleged "YouTube Red
clone" application?

My guess is... The nym-shifting troll is making up stuff and
then expecting it be on a PC (that he has no skill to use).

BTW, I see no ads at all on YouTube. I do see ads on newsfeed videos
that I watch on my smartphone.

I didn't mean to ruffle feathers by repeating what I said in the op which
was that I wasn't looking for an all-in-one browser solution but that I was
looking for a dedicated free clone replacement to the YouTube Red app.

If your solution does these things on Windows, then it's a good solution:
[1] Searches & plays any YouTube video without ever needing an account
[2] Never shows an ad (even without the user having to lift a setup finger)
[3] Pushbutton background download of multiple audio or video extractions

Does your solution do those three things?

If so, can you explain your solution on Windows in more detail so that I
can reproduce your solution on Windows (but only if it does those three
things).

If the nym-shifting troll sticks around the Windows group, I
will frequently spot it.

I suppose it is one of an increasing number of
smartphone/tablet users that have never even used a PC.
Another clueless invasion of USENET.


Any Idiot that likes to watch YouTube videos on a miniature phone screen
is totally unwrapped.

Exactly. So they should be ignored or blocked.
Answering his posts just adds more of his posts
to the group.

True. But he is seriously scary in his admitted stalking behavior and in
the perverse workings of his own mind, creepily visible to anyone who reads
what he wrote in this thread, all of which was borne solely out of his own
twisted thought processes.

What he needs is professional help, so I pray that he gets it soon before
he hurts more people in his life.

To the troll who goes by the nym of John Doe.

You are a troll based on the purposeful lack of any value in everything you
post. The three similarly purposefully zero-value repeated trolls in this
ng are
[1] John Doe (always spews forth drivel that only a troll would write)
[2] Frank Slootweg (is often smart - but has only trolled in this thread)
[3] Good Guy (makes stalkingly creepy & frighteningly sick accusations)

If you can't find the URL you say you seek, then you missed it in a
half-dozen posts in this thread in that multiple descriptions of and
download URLs for NewPipe was posted a half dozen times already.

Here's just one, repeated, yet again, just for you.
https://newpipe.schabi.org

If you don't know how to install an app from any repository, then it's time
you learned that rudimentary skill, but this isn't the thread for that ...
so, if you're still having trouble with the simplest of things Android,
just ask away in a separate thread on the Android ng if you need help
enabling non-Google repositories.

more because the POWER just isn't ever going to be in a multi-use tool as

Agreed there are some features in the app (e.g. the double tap at left
or right edges to FF/REW by a few seconds) which work well in a tablet,
and you have to use keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys, or I/J) on a PC.

But there are other features (e.g. faster or slower playback rates)
which don't seem to exist at all in the app, and which are useful for
certain videos that drag on a bit, and you don't have all day to watch.

Chrome uses the arrow keys, and page-up and page-down for
HTML5 videos (at least 99% now). Nothing is faster than
pressing a single key.

Like Video Speed Controller in Chrome. I wanted to point out
the simply efficient beauty of its logic anyway...

press S to slow down the video

press D to speed up the video

press R to reset or unset the speed, that means...

if the speed is not 100%, it resets to 100%

OR...

if the speed is 100%, it sets the speed to the last setting

Simple but impressive once you get used to it. You can
alternate between 100% and whatever slower or faster speed
simply by using S OR D to set the alternate speed and then
repeatedly pressing R. Very useful.

Then there is the progress bar preview window. I have scripts
that advance the preview window after setting the pointer on
the progress bar, by repeatedly moving the pointer 1-3 pixels
to the right (along the X axis) at given intervals.

I don't think I made myself clear.
There is no browser involved.
There is no ad blocker necessary.

I don't think you understood what AT New Pipe does.
That's OK because you'd have to use it to understand it.
Or I would have had to write a better OP.

Think of what I'm looking for as a Windows app that is a YouTube Red app.
Only for free.

It is NOT a browser (watching YouTube on a browser is just plain silly).

What works is silly?


It's a YouTube app.
Designed ONLY for YouTube videos.

It's exactly like the YouTube Red App on Android, only
it's free
it has no ads
it downloads the audio and the video

So I understand why you misunderstood what it is because you probably watch
youtube videos on Windows using a browser (which is just plain wrong).

What I'm asking for is a free YouTube Red application for Windows.
It already exists for Android.

I'm just asking for the same thing for Windows.

You want youtube-dl. It does all you want and much more.
I have used youtube-dl on Windows 10, 7, XP, Mac OSX, and Solaris 11.

There is your answer.

I don't use YouTube Red (because I get it for free, which is what this
thread is all about), but quick google shows YouTube Red has been around
since 2015, so I'll reference the following links for folks to read up on.

You didn't say before that you won't use free apps.
Why not just pay for Red and be done with it?

What ads? I don't see any.

Oh, it must be that stone-age tool known as AdBlock.

You have a garden made of steel?

I didn't mean to touch off hurt feelings by stating the truth that a
dedicated YouTube Red clone app has advantages over an all-in-one tool such
as a web browser when all you want to do is watch videos without ads and
download either the audio or the video.

You must be the only person who insists on paying when you don't
need to.

It's the same dedicated-versus-all-in-one tool argument I could make for a
MUA versus web-based email, where the dedicated tool does the job better in
many ways than the all-in-one tool which has its own huge security issues
to deal with.

Heck, I can make the same argument for a dedicated pair of pliers over a
leatherman all-in-one tool.

The dedicated app has advantages over the browser, and the browser has huge
disadvantages that you're glossing over.

So you're only saying the good about the browser, but not the bad (and
there is plenty bad, especially since Google tracks you left and right when
you use YouTube through a browser).

But I never wanted a discussion on why using a browser for YouTube videos
is a really bad idea compared to using a dedicated YouTube Red clone app on
Windows.

All I am asking is if you know of a Windows YouTube red clone that
[1] Searches and plays any YouTube video
[2] Never ever requires a log in or account (to watch anything)
[3] Never shows ads no matter what
[4] Downloads the current video at the touch of a button
[5] Extracts and downloads the audio at the touch of a button
[6] Downloads any number of audios or videos in the background
[7] Without any effort whatsoever

[8] Requires regular payments

Does the all-in-one browser solution do all that on Windows?

For example, how do you download any number of audio and video files in the
background using the all-in-one web browser pointed only to the YouTube web
site?

youtube-dl does that and more.

That's quite understandable.
