gisk doesn't support updates, and no manager supports updates on a manually installed ZIP (must be in repo). I'm surprised the screenshot could be generated. Is it a Magisk fork?

Module does not need to be in the repo if it supports updateJson mechanism - and both j-hc and NoName-exe modules from their GitHub sites (links are under the spoiler in the OP post #1) do support

Look at the screenshots in my previous post you quoted

On the 1st screenshot you see in Magisk app v25.x, Modules tab, ReVanced-Extended module showing active Update button

2nd screenshot, when I click on Update, it shows me Changelog and offers Download and Install

On the 3rd screenshot, it does update installation and asks for Reboot

---

If you are not familiar with the structure and the mechanism of installation and updating modules, please study and learn from the official Magisk documentaition, Developer guide, on the TJW Magisk GitHub site (Magisk app, main screen, link at the bottom):

Developer Guides

The Magic Mask for Android

topjohnwu.github.io

(scroll to the Modules description)
See below the screenshots from that official Magisk modules documentation

Unzip eg j-hc module.zip installation file, find inside text file module.prop, open and observe inside:
versionCode=20220856
updateJson=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j-hc/revanced-magisk-module/update/youtube-update.json

Open that URL in browser and
find there currently
versionCode": 20220856,
"zipUrl": "https://github.com/j-hc/revanced-ma...856/youtube-revanced-magisk-v18.05.40-all.zip",
"changelog": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j-hc/revanced-magisk-module/update/build.md"

Study from the Magisk developer documentaition how that works, what for are versionCode, zipURL and changelog URL

Btw, you can open the last two URLs in your browser and see what will happen

Hence when j-hc uploads the new module release, he will update that on-line youtube-update.json file

Magisk app will read that there is a higher versionCode than in its installed module, when you click Update it will open changelog URL and when you click Install it will download and install the new module zip installation file from urlZIP

---

Of course, the prerequisite is that you already have an older version of the same module installed (that Magisk app can follow the updateJson URL from the module's module.prop)

Continuation:

Watch the video how auto-update mechanism works - Magisk Canary 25209 (one but last, since the last 25210 has a regression bug causing that Systemless hosts and other systemless modules do not work with):
https://mega.nz/file/stlHXaxB#WrefPtxTJJXkgcXGdgyMYDRBtDVWyMz_yg7j4bBZkwA

But Magisk Stable v25.x will also do, and the forks like Delta, etc

Thank you very much for the detailed information. Indeed i wasn't aware of this, and didn't hit Update button for years. But I looked back, and it's there. The package contain the update info. Wonderful mechanism

Where to get previous versions?
The ready made APK's are only available as "latest release" and not as different versions? Or am I mistaken?

Here's the revanced extended apk. This is an older apk fom this thread that I had downloaded.
You can find all versions of MicroG here:

Releases · inotia00/VancedMicroG

MicroG tweaked to work for applications such as Vanced. - inotia00/VancedMicroG

Can't play individual songs in revanced yt music. Is someone else facing this issue?

Are you in Canada?

I have no time these days so I'm using j-hc module lately, and update directly via magisk. ( sorry retrial...)

 

[Veestaai]

Are you in Canada?

Yes

 

[asif9t9]

Yes

Same. YouTube music vanced or revanced or extended or any version doesn't work for us. What you see is that when you choose a song, it doesn't play the song. It starts a radio mix for that song. There's no fix and since it's just Canada you won't see anyone fix it. I just use YouTube or Spotify for music.

Is there maybe anybody here who uses Magisk Delta and ReVanced Extended Magisk module from NoName-exe (download link is in the OP post #1)

I cannot make it to work - I install the module and reboot but there is no YouTube application installed

Actually, by looking deeper, I see that it has mounted the lib and base.apk to:
/system/priv-app/youtube

However (looking into the module's installation folder
/data/adb/modules/ytrvx-magisk and comparing the hashes), it's the original 125,44 MB youtube.apk from the module's system/priv/youtube folder, not the patched 49,58 MB revanced.apk file

Furthermore, pm commands do not find a youtube package installed:
pm path com.google.android.youtube
pm list packages | grep YouTube

I played by adding logs and I see that indeed the module's service.sh script prematurely exits on the line 21:
stock_path=$( pm path com.google.android.youtube | head -1 | sed 's/package://g' )
[ -z "$stock_path" ] && exit 1

Hence before it should mount the patched base.apk in the line 32 and doing all other stuff (modding db by SQLite3, etc)

With the same Magisk Delta I can successfully use all other systemless modules (Delta has no bug with mounting, like Magisk Canary 25210, causing that systemless modules do not work)

Also, the j-hc ReVanced Magisk module works fine on the same phone, and the same Magisk Delta (however, unlike NoName-exe, j-hc does not push YT to /system/priv-app/youtube but 'normally' to /data/app/*)

Also, I have another phone (both are Xiaomi but different models with different MIUI version), but with Canary 25209, where I can successfully install and use either j-hc ReVanced or NoName-exe Extended modules

Hence I don't know is it a 'problem' on my (first) phone with the ROM or Magisk Delta, causing that NoName-exe module could not successfully install ReVanced Extended

By use of SuList Auto-Whitelist module I got com.google.android.youtube listed in the Magisk Delta SuList

and now pm correctly finds the package:
pm path com.google.android.youtube
package:/system/priv-app/youtube/base.apk

Seems that module's service.sh script works now - I do have ReVanced Extended YT app and it works

Edit:
At the end no success with that NoName-exe Extended module on Magisk Delta with SuList, after reboot I had bootloop and lost the patched YT

I returned to the j-hc module that installs (patched YT to Data, not to /system/priv-app) with no troubles

I love how quickly you update us... Definitely appreciate it

 

[Legitsu]

the spoof buffer patch seems to resolve the video not loading issue

a reminder to other users YOU MUST CLEAN INSTALL Revanced/Revanced extended at every update this means uninstall the old version before installing the new

this is non optional non-negotionable failure todo this will result in things not working as expected

I personally never uninstall before updating (revanced extented) and never had any problem. What things didn't work for you ?

What makes you say this? I've only done a fresh install when inotia or retrial puts this in the notes at the bottom of each patch update. I don't seem to have any issues?

Thank you so much for keeping the files updated! Kudos to your efforts and patience.

Is there a way we can have a different icon for the Revanced app? Maybe the one on the top left on this revanced Github page ?

Three ways:

1: Edit the branding patch and build revanced yourself.

2: Edit the vanced apk and replace the launcher icons.

3: Use a custom launcher (e.g. Nova) and an icon pack to swap the icon.

Hi, thanks.
For ReVanced I didn't selected the "Custom Branding" patch which change the icon/name to ReVanced because I personally think their icon is ugly but I may create a poll and see what most people want.
Meanwhile you can do what Spanna told you or use Apk Editor Studio to change icon/name.
