whether it is a demo or tutorial, (once it starts working again) can anyone be in agreement not to post anything in YT, Twitter, IG, FB, etc., about Tube AU sampling from YT. i am sure all of us really want this app to remain working and available in the app store for a very long time.

lmao I was thinking the same thing. if it starts working again, let’s all collectively pretend like it doesn’t exist so it can fly under the radar

Feels like it’s already on YT’s radar though....

I mean @Blue_Mangoo mentioned that it was very difficult to make, so it must have been getting tested etc to some degree for a long while.....But then within only a day or so after release something new happens that stops YouTube working, but in only this particular browser? A new problem that wasn’t there at all during the entire test period....

That feels to me like intentional interference from YouTube after they noticed or heard about it....otherwise devs would have hit the issue before release right? Unless it’s just an insane coincidence...

Either way, really hope it works out but predicting a lot of cat and mouse, at best...

I've already done a deep dive on Google to find an app that works similarly (not as well and obviously not in an AU environment, but it mostly gets the job done)... I'm hesitant to even mention the name lol. I'm sure TubeAU trending on the app store doesn't help it's chances. I do think that a name/presentation change might be a smart move on the dev's part, at the very least to ease consumer anxiety/skepticism about a $10 app.

Or maybe we're just being paranoid? Surely Google would just send a cease and desist instead of cat and mouse coding?

Agree with previous posts... considering changing name and scope (broader) might help keep things under the radar @Blue_Mangoo

Here’s the thing. Having an app that plays YouTube videos is not copyright infringement, nor illegal in any way shape or form. There are apps in the App Store that let you play YT videos in the background without a subscription. The problem is intent. Apple, YouTube, Spotify, they all want to make it nearly impossible to record from their apps so they code it accordingly. I don’t believe Apple actually cares if you can play YouTube as an AU. The legal issue would fall on YOU the user. If Apple decided they wanted to make it harder, they could, but not on legal grounds. Only by their own rules. Otherwise why would B—-e! have lasted this long? It’s not because we’ve been so good at keeping it a secret.

Right on! I love this Tube AU app because I watch tutorials "in app" with AUM/AB3 to learn how to do things. Valuable! I have no idea what this "sampling" nonsense is all about.

That's my official line too

You know, changing the app description to something like “Watch videos from inside your AUv3 compatible DAW” or the like might not be a terrible idea...?

Have you guys seen how to use Koala to sample from YouTube by using a simple Behringer interface? Pretty cool idea.

Going to try this setup to see what happens.

Thanks for link. I have the red version of that interface, but thing is that I always have my phone with me in any case so it’s way better workflow imho to just use phone in to interface and have both source and destination open on separate screens if it’s only for the sake of losing one extra little phono cable...YMMV tho

Welp, good to have this info in case this app gets yanked for violating YouTube policies or anything ya know 🥴

Ooh, that ‘request desktop site’ trick is handy - not for sampling in my case - but to avoid using their hideous mobile website.

Good one! It's a clever idea and the tip about using the desktop site is quite handy.

eross

aghhh very cool thanks for the tip

@echoopera Nice tip, thank you! I own a Behringer(the red one), never thought of putting the outs in the ins.

It's a cool idea, would work great in a pinch but I gotta be honest I do most of my beatmaking laying in bed when my wife's snoring or lounging on the couch because I'm a lazy fucker. It's one of the main perks of using the iPad! I can't be bothered with dongles in those situations.

echoopera

Well it’s an option if the app disappears...and thought I’d share it as another option for users to have in their arsenal.

Hold on. It's not dead. Just a bug in our code. We have submitted a fix for review already. Thanks to the lead developer, Duc Anh, for some quick work. Hopefully it will be back online tomorrow.

Woohoo! Excellent.

I just bought it. Not strange that it didn't work at all for me 😁😀

@[Deleted User] this has me laughing geeza i once made a beat years back of my ex arguing with me “ your always on that effin sampler crap” ..the beat was bit like “ put your hands up for detroit”..

“They think it’s all over...is it?

stormbeats

Youtube & copyright rubbish. How much do they profit from zillions of uploads of copyright music etc. Contradicting twats

LeonLeroy

that was a waste on ten bucks

espiegel123

@LeonLeroy @marcuspresident : perhaps you missed the note from the developer that they have identified the problem and an update is awaiting approval.

Eye0sStudios

Huh uh.

@Blue_Mangoo are you going to re-implement the removed browser/other stream sources to Tube AU?

Normally I’d say it’s none of our business and that people should just buy an app for what it does or skip it, but considering how dead the app currently becomes when YouTube stops working with it, I feel like it’s a fair question and a very reasonable request on a £10 app that ‘some’ functionality is always available.

In the beginning of the thread you seemed to be leaning toward reimplementing the alt streams functionality but then it seemed like you instead began to talk about making other apps in addition. Which has me leaning toward grabbing a refund and buying the speculated Web AU instead, as obviously that will also do YouTube, but additionally it will have other streams available during situations like the one we’re in right now...

Some transparency on your plans for Tube au would be appreciated, whilst the refund window is still open.
Thanks

This app will not add web functionality.

Tube AU has been awaiting review for about 20 hours. We resubmitted it late yesterday afternoon, gmt+7 time zone, after we fixed some additional bugs.

According to apple’s developer website, 50% of apps are reviewed within 24 hours and 90% within 48 hours.

Thanks for the clear answer

Yeah I understand there’s a fix on the way, I just get the feeling that this won’t be the last time there are problems from YouTube

I’ll grab refund for now and re-buy in a few months if things are still problem free and no alternatives with more streams options appear by then.

Really hope It goes well though and wish you best of luck with it as it’s a great tool to have and appreciate that you guys did something ‘new’ by making it

Just use the loop back feature with Koala Sampler in the mean time I know it's not as simple as being cord free, but it works all the time

I don’t think it works like that. Once you choose a refund I think you are banned from the app for life. So you should only refund apps that you think are utterly worthless to you (that’s how Apple sees it)

[EDIT: thanks to replies from others below, turns out I’m completely wrong and refunding/ repurchasing is totally possible, but at a high cost to the developer because Apple keeps 30% of the refund. Ouch!]
