Original NewPipe Readme

About this fork

Due to restrictive project policy, the NewPipeTeam refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BraveNewPipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.

Nevertheless, platforms that promote pornography or other degrading things will NOT be included here.

APK variants

Currently there are 3 variants:

• BraveNewPipe_v${TAG}.apk: version most people want to install.
• BraveNewPipe_conscrypt_v${TAG}.apk: like the first but with lastest TLS library aka conscrypt
• BraveNewPipe_legacy_v${TAG}.apk: based on same code like above variants but with some checks to make it work on SDK 19 aka Kitkat. BraveNewPipeLegacy is dumped instead. I hope this approach is more reliable and less a burden to maintain.

Contribute

This fork will focus only on integrating other platforms. Unrelated patches will be rejected for now.

Feel free to suggest which alternative platforms should be included. Any contribution (development/testing/bug report) is greatly appreciated.

Which additional platforms are supported?

• Bitchute
• Rumble

Other features not found in NewPipe

• merged NewPipe x Sponsorblock into this fork. NewPipe x Sponsorblock Readme
• searchfilters: in the action menu of the search page you can now change the search behavior for the actual search. The supported content/sort filters depend on the service. More information PR TeamNewPipe#8837
• Integrated updater feature. BraveNewPipe will download a new version and act as an installer source (you have to allow that). To enable that feature go to: Settings -> 'BraveNewPipe Settings' -> 'Update Behaviour'

Reporting bugs

Most problems with BraveNewPipe should be reported to the NewPipeExtractor project, as platform support is developed there. Issues

Building the project

Before building any flavor you should (if you want everything to be named BraveNewPipe) call the gradle task:

gradle bravify

For the brave and braveConscrypt flavor there is nothing special you have to do. But for the flavor braveLegacy you should also call before building:

gradle prepareLegacyFlavor

It will move some duplicated files from 'main' to a temp directory and alters the new version URL. Later if you want to restore the files after the Legacy flavor build (in case you want to build another flavor) run:

gradle unPrepareLegacyFlavor
