The latest update kinda sucks (sh.itjust.works)

Is it just me, or is the latets update kind of buggy?

Half the videos dont load instantly. I get the "Not available. Open in browser" nessage. Then when I click it (I set it up to open youtube links in NewPipe automatically) it does open the video in NewPipe.

Also the fullscreen feature seems broken. It used to go back to nomal view when the video was finished, but that's not happening anymore. Also its hard to go back to normal view anyways.

This is not caused by NewPipe. Google is always trying to make it hard. And NewPipe devs are actively working on it https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/13082

If you know how to fix it then go ahead and send the PR. Otherwise just wait till the devs working for free fix it.

The update is out and it works as good as new!

This is a good time to remind folks how important it is to donate to projects like this. Thank you, NewPipeTeam!

Yes, very good point. I will be donating this month.

Going on the downvotes, people seem to think I am not appreciative of the work they do. Or maybe they are of the opi ion that I am not allowed to critisize the app? Both statements are false. I am gratefuland and my critique isn't negetive, but constructive (or at least its meant to be)

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Awesome. I donated this month as well. I need to do a better job of supporting projects like this. 💜

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same. I came here hoping to see why I'm getting "unavailable" for so many videos now.

It seems that pipepipe now works again. Newpipe doesn't have an update yet. Also nothing loads anymore on newpipe now.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I saw the GitHub issue assigned. Good luck to them.

As for pipepipe, I was curious if it was actually working. Just installed, tested, uninstalled. On my end, it's behaving the same (but with a less helpful error message). No content plays.

I'm happy to exercise patience while the newpipe team does their thing. I'm really grateful for what they've been able to provide thus far.

Yes, same. I've been very busy this past year, but that's coming to an end. I've been playing with the tought of diving into the code and start contributing when I get some time.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

There's so many projects I'd like to be involved in, but my day to day job murders all desire to do any additional coding and engineering, even for projects I love. I just don't have the steam.

Perhaps one day, when I finally get another job and my work life balance is actually healthy, I can then get back to those projects I truly enjoy. Well, I'd like to imagine and fantasize, at least. 😁

@abbadon420

Agreed. I just keep at it until the video loads. It may be, that YouTube is getting better at being an ass about drm too.
