So I Use SmartTube for fire stick And Newpipe for Android

Has anyone else experienced issues lately with crashing and videos being unable to finish? Both applications have been giving me issues lately is this YT trying to crack down on cracked apps?

neither of those are "cracked" apps, they're separate clients.

Youtube often changes things on their end, and it can take a while for Newpipe and the like to catch up with the changes.

Sorry, I didn't know the difference

That's probably what it is, just gonna wait for the next update

the difference is that they're not modifications of the official Youtube app to unlock paid features for free (which you can tell from how they look completely different), they're written from scratch as separate entities.
