bug: Internal Download Speeds for Videos are Slow for ReVanced #3703

Closed Total-Anarchy closed 1 hour ago

Total-Anarchy commented 3 hours ago

Bug description

I'm experiencing significantly slower download speeds when using ReVanced compared to the official YouTube app or browser downloads. When I try to download videos using ReVanced, the process takes much longer than expected, regardless of the video quality or my network conditions.

This issue persists across different Wi-Fi networks and mobile data connections. I've verified that my internet speed is not the problem, as downloads through other apps and browsers work normally. The slow download speed only occurs within the ReVanced app, meaning it might be related to the app itself or potential throttling by YouTube servers when detecting the modified client.

Solution

A possible solution I've considered is updating the video and stream spoof patch to include download operations. This could potentially mask ReVanced's identity during download requests, preventing YouTube from identifying it as a modified client and applying throttling.

Alternatively, if there's an existing bug in the current implementation of the patch that's causing it to not apply to downloads, fixing this bug could resolve the issue.

Do you have YouTube Premium? If so try turning off client stream spoofing.

Otherwise there is not much that can be done about that behavior.

I do not have YouTube Premium on. I think its either server sided throttling or

I think either YouTube is throttling the speed or its a bug in the app. Is there really no fix that can be done either through bugfix or by you guys?

You're fortunate your country has in app downloading, as it usually requires paying for Premium. It is very likely that in the future YT will change your country to require Premium to use the in app downloads.

If you want faster downloads either pay for Premium and turn off client spoofing, or use an external downloader like NewPipe or Seal.

There is little that can be done here thru patching.
