the /kbin admins haven’t deleted my account yet. hopefully before 2025?
I just set it up last week, it works exceptionally well.
Did you also install podman-docker, make sure that the podman socket was running, and verify that the socket directory referenced in the config files was correct?
Those are the 3 things that I got a bit stuck on. In the end, I RTFM and all was well.

No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.
I don’t intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn’t follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.
Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a “really long time” to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b

I’ve never had that issue with Piped or Invidious, though sometimes I’ve had a specific instance not load. There are literal dozens of instances though.
However, I’ve had numerous issues with Bluestacks and it’s a huge memory hog, not to mention it’s overkill to install an entire OS just for 1 singular purpose that can be done just fine on your native OS.
It’s a layer of abstraction that’s almost entirely unnecessary except for 1 use case: watching YouTube without ads.

Why should I use an Android emulator to run an app on PC instead of the many browser front ends for YouTube?
