Neither newpipe nor libretube work for me anymore for a while now. Is there an alternative?
Edit: when using my vpn it is blocked. Without von it works fine

I just tried Tubular, a NewPipe fork and it works properly.
Newpipe sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. I think your case was just lucky.
NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.
NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.
The newest issue is different because YouTube started requiring login more and more often to “prove that you’re not a bot”
It’s been working for me most of the time. Tends to break when Google breaks something, but gets fixed pretty fast. For me it has been working for a couple of weeks after the last update. On TV I use SmartTube, and it has been incredibly solid.
