**[Good news!]**
The random crash issue when searching on iOS 6–8 has been fixed!
It’ll be resolved in v1.1.1-1! (That version number has way too many 1s lol.)

Everything runs on the device and talks to YouTube directly. No proxy, no companion app. What's new since 1.0.x

• Runs on iOS 6.0 and up. 1.0.x was 9.0 only. Networking, alerts and text drawing all have pre-iOS 7 paths now, so one binary covers 6.0 through 9.x.
• Three themes: light, dark, and iOS 9 YouTube UI — the 2015-2016 look, with edge-to-edge thumbnails, grey gaps between cards, the system typeface and the old #CC181E red.
• 14 interface languages, up from 2. The choice also sets hl/gl, so view counts and dates come back in that language too.
• Playback fixed. On Aug 18 YouTube raised the client version floor to 1.64.00, which breaks every 1.0.x build on every video. /player also had to move off ANDROID_VR, whose media urls now return 403 even when the request succeeds.
• Quality options are checked against the actual stream before being offered, and downloads are fetched in ranges instead of in one go.
• Fixed a stall that blocked the main thread for most of every second during playback (a keychain lookup running on every tick).
• Fixed Shorts sitting 20pt too low and being clipped by the tab bar.
• Tighter watch layout on 3.5-inch screens. Known limitation: 480p and 720p exist only as adaptive tracks, and YouTube currently serves those in full for roughly one video in ten. Everything else plays at 360p.

YTNine is finally out.

It’s a new YouTube client made for iOS 9 — mainly for old iPhones and iPod touches that still deserve a usable YouTube app.

It has browsing, search, playback, comments, captions, downloads, playlists, dark mode, background playback, quality/speed controls, and Japanese/English support.

You can install it from my repo:
