I’m using v0.27.1 downloaded from GitHub. I threw Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love as an example URL. Thought it might ease the pain of YT mucking up NP again.

    I’ve noticed something new: videos play, then suddenly stop. When I try to restart them, NewPipe says there’s an error. This happens a lot and it started 2 or 3 days after the latest version defeated Google’s latest shenanigans. I can see it on my Android TV box and on my cellphone, and it happens with NewPipeX too, but not with Grayjay or Freetube on the desktop.

    It certainly feels like Google is deliberately creating random errors for NewPipe users.

      You’re probably experiencing the “59 second bug”, which has been around for a couple of weeks. Restarting the app usually helps, at least for me.

        Nah, it’s not that. Sometimes I’m listening to a 1 hour 1/2 album while cycling, and 25 minutes in, the music stops. I pull out my cellphone, the video looks like I’ve just stopped it myself, and when I try to restart it, it says there’s an error message in the notifications.

        And restarting the app does nothing. Nor does clearing the cache.
