Not able to import my subscriptions from Youtube #1046

Open lightningzword opened 2 years ago

I know that you guys have used NewPipe's API for the backend of the app but this bug is in the NewPipe app too. There too, I am unable to add my subscriptions as it only excepts the ".json" file format. Please look into this ASAP as it is very inconvenient for users. Hope to see this fixed in the next update :)

The new way of importing should be possible to implement by using the Google takeout export method. It generates a csv containing all subscriptions (unselect all other YouTube data when exporting).

I discovered SkyTube today in my search for an alternative app in my journey to (partially) DeGoogle. Would love to import my subscription list.

Edit: I wanted to add that I'm great full for everyone's work on this app. It looks great! I just started working on improving translations which are partly incomplete/outdated in my native language. That's the least I can do to help improve this FOSS project. ^^

Edit 2: Done translating in 2 hours or so. Hope this helps and looking forward to see a new way to import subscriptions.

SkyTube Extra 2.981 still doesn't import abo.csv! I mean, that's such an important feature, I don't get it...

Yeah I think the devs need some more time as Google completely changed the export format. For now I stopped using the app as manually adding 400 subscriptions isn't realistic.

I'll check this app later again, it had great potential. The ad blocking isn't necessary for me though, but I think this is also part of the privacy aspect?

When I try to import a csv the app just closes

LordJon commented 2 years ago

There are multiple reports about this problem which is probably why this one got closed. Tkalfaoglu, the reason why the app closes is because this problem hasn't been fixed in the public release yet (no clue if there is a fix at all). Google changed the format so importing the csv doesn't work atm.

Nothing new to add except that I'm really sad this "import youtube subscriptions" feature is broken at the moment, because SkyTube with its SponsorBlock support, looks like one of the best of adfree youtube players available.

Issue is caused by NewPipe and has been fixed upstream: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7411

Should be automatically fixed on next build
