VivoTube is an unofficial YouTube client for PSVita written from scratch. It communicates directly with YouTube's InnerTube API, without a companion server, and plays videos at up to 720p using the console's hardware H.264 and AAC decoders.
It includes a Home page with topic feeds and a personal "For you" feed built from watch history and likes, a vertical Shorts player, search with filters, comments with replies, captions, chapters, a mini player, a play queue, and playback speeds from 0.25x to 2x with pitch-preserving audio. Subscriptions, watch history, Watch later, liked videos and playlists are stored on the memory card. Signing in with a Google account, through an OAuth client the user creates, syncs subscriptions, likes and playlists. Text in non-Latin scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean is displayed with bundled Noto fonts, and emoji are shown in colour. A built-in updater installs new releases from the project's GitHub repository.

## Fixed
- **"Couldn't install the update: couldn't write ux0:app/..." on a real PS Vita.** HENkaku only lets homebrew replace its own files when *Settings > HENkaku Settings > Enable Unsafe Homebrew* is on, and that setting is off by default. VivoTube now checks first. If it can't install the update itself, it explains the setting and offers to download the update to `ux0:data/VivoTube/` with steps for installing it in VitaShell.
- If writing a file still fails, the error now includes the system's error code.
- Release notes shown in the app no longer contain raw link markup.
## Install
If Enable Unsafe Homebrew is on, VivoTube 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 offer this update when they start. Otherwise, or to install by hand, put `VivoTube.vpk` on the Vita and install it with VitaShell over the old version (or use *File > Install .vpk* in Vita3K). If an earlier version's update failed, it may have saved the package as `ux0:data/VivoTube/VivoTube-<version>.vpk`; you can delete that file.
