Nice, love to see more alternatives in this space. I’m currently using GlazeWM, which provides an i3-like experience on Windows. To the ones saying ‘just switch to Linux’, I used Linux full-time for many years but switched back to use Windows-only software, and a tiling WM and a package manager like Scoop goes a long way in making it more bearable.

My diagnosis is Asperger syndrome despite me being diagnosed recently, because my country (Norway) still hasn’t transitioned to the ICD-11 diagnostic manual yet.

To elaborate, while the errors in the middle of videos were because of general anti-bot measures, the errors at the beginning of videos were caused by a change that specifically targets third-party clients like NewPipe and youtube-dl. This is definitely part of an arms race.

Fixed

• [YouTube] Extract avatar and banner from more channel header types
• [Bandcamp] Fix various bugs and always use HTTPS

Sorry, I didn’t see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.

Yes, you’ve already commented that and it’s a good suggestion. Why did you need to write it twice?

Version 0.26.1 (and 0.26.0) hasn’t been published on F-Droid yet because it couldn’t be reproduced (meaning that the app as built by F-Droid wasn’t completely identical to the one published by the NewPipe team). The problem is tracked here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/10746

It’s in the current build cycle, so give it 1-2 days.

The ability to download playlists is not introduced in this release. There is an open feature request for it that is tracked here: NewPipe#5482
In the meantime, you can use NewPipe in conjunction with Seal to download playlists.

YouTube views are not counted in NewPipe and neither are Peertube views, but there is an open feature request for it here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/3092

I don’t mean to doubt you, but are you sure that none of your 100+ subscribed channels have ever uploaded a short? Note that shorts aren’t currently visible in NewPipe. You are of course correct that it could be caused by a different reason that is currently not known, though. If that’s the case, it’s usually a good idea to write a comment on the GitHub issue, but I understand that you might not want to do that.

I do think it’s weird that this feature hasn’t been added yet, though, as it seems pretty simple to implement. I’d write it myself, but NewPipe doesn’t accept contributions for new features at the moment, which is kind of annoying.

I am not a GH user though, the place is pretty confusing for me honestly.

That’s understandable. I just wanted to share it as a reference.

This comment from one of the developers suggests that it’s seemingly only a problem with channels that have shorts, so you can use that as a starting point to find out what channels are failing to update.

I should note that this will likely not be a problem anymore once v0.26.0 releases with support for channel tabs, which should allow it to handle shorts properly. This is likely the reason that the feature request hasn’t really been prioritized.

This feature request is tracked on GitHub here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7201
