Newpipe users here? If so, how to import subscriptions??

Yes I’m a “Vanced” refugee.

So I installed Newpipe from F-Droid and followed all the instructions to export my YT subscriptions, then import them, and instead of getting a couple of hundred new subscribed channels I get…drumroll…three. Yes, three.

This is even if I unpack the zip file that downloads and grab the .csv file within during the import.

Anyone manage to get this to work, or do I have to do it manually one channel at a time?

Figured out the problem I was having. I created my YouTube account in 2009, with a custom username I didn’t want to give up later when Google was pushing for everyone to use their real name instead (but a lot of people told them to get lost). Anyway, with the Google Takeout tool I had to pick the “Brand Account” with the YouTube username instead of the Gmail account associated with the YouTube “Brand Account” and download the YouTube subscription data from that.

Modern life is complicated… :-\
