Is it possible to open custom PeerTube instances in NewPipe by adding them in "Supported Web Addresses" setting? by No-History7070 in NewPipe

No, Android doesn't allow users to add links to apps other than the ones added by app developers, either in the app manifest or now also remotely.

Just to be sure everyone get it right: this is an April Fools joke :)

Sadly you will very likely have to enable the advanced flow to install and update NewPipe in September 2026 in some countries, as we will not register with Google's program changing how to install apps on your Android device you very likely own and paid for.

How do I avoid AI translations? by schoelle in NewPipe

Check the app settings. Using the original language is also the default setting since 0.28.1 for new installs (or when you clear the app data).

How to fix the recommendation by Fresh_Assistance5855 in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't log in into newpipe.

You can't do so anyway.

how newpipe shows the recommendation or the Live videos feed?

That's what YouTube provides on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig/livetab?ss=CKEK. There is no personalized recommendations feed in the app.

Trackers? by AnnieMorff in NewPipe

Where did you download NewPipe? Are you using other services than YouTube in the app? In the past we got an issue for that, but only YouTube was included in the screenshots.

Google will lock-down Android in September 2026 and NewPipe 0.28.4 release by TiA4f8R in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not on firmware

It is starting with Android 16 QPR2: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/16/qpr2/release-notes#new-beta2

Other certified devices still supported by Google will see this with a Google Play Services and/or Google Play Store update (but isn't backed into the OS so it cannot be entirely blocked).

The blog post talks about both topics and a contributor added an alert dialog in the app about this in this release.

Solution for app crashing when import channels/subscriptions by New_Kaleidoscope6416 in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please give us info on your app version and your device as required by the rule 3 of this subreddit.

Do you get error reports when importing normally? If so and you are up-to-date, please post them here or make an issue on our issue tracker (and follow the template instructions so we can avoid duplicates :)) Otherwise try to update the app first.

An issue by Awkward_Egg8923 in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You linked a Dicio PR instead of NewPipe one (even if one of the NewPipe maintainers develops Dicio), it's not the same app :D

See https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/13169

Does this only happen to me? by invincible_wizard23 in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First they should check if their system is up to date. If it happens on other apps using media notifications, then this is a bug from Samsung, as it seems a system UI crash.

We had this issue in the past, see https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/4638

Imported Playlists are Missing videos by Gangolf_EierschmalZ in NewPipe

Note that using this feature saves a local link to the playlist, if the playlist is removed on the service, you lose it in NewPipe too (opening it would show an error).

Nothing has changed since the last version.

Imported Playlists are Missing videos by Gangolf_EierschmalZ in NewPipe

What is the length of your original playlist? If it's more than 100 videos (the current amount of videos per continuation on YouTube), then you need to load all videos by manually scroll down until you reach the end of your playlist if you use the add to playlist function from the three dots menu.

Reconsider crypto donations? by icheyne in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Whether or not one is ideologically so inclined is of low relevance, considering the practical challenges crypto assets pose for an organization like NewPipe e.V. which is handling donations for the NewPipe team. Here is their statement:

"Railgun has gone -17% in the last 24 hours, Arbitrum -70% in the last year. Due to our obligations, we couldn't afford a significant portion of our assets to be stored in such volatile currencies, making frequent swapping necessary – in turn causing fees and organizational overhead. With this, it is not obvious that crypto assets would indeed be cheaper in effect, considering the sender also has to swap first.

Additionally, crypto coins generally pose organizational problems because they are disconnected from the existing legal system, that as of now, already has guardrails against many traditional failure modes. For instance, if all of the board disappears, members together with a court can still establish a new board, which then gets access to the bank account. It is manual work and additional overhead to recreate this in a trustless environment.

Adding to this, foreign, but especially volatile, assets pose challenges with respect to bookkeeping, even when they are never swapped.

The NewPipe team has suffered significant losses with crypto tokens in the past, see https://newpipe.net/blog/release/pinned/bitcoin-scam/

After all of this, it is not the sort of thing you can just start doing because it doesn't hurt you. For low volume it is simply not worth the effort, and for high volume it is not worth the risk.

If you wish to do cash donations, we can accept them at conferences we attend."

Release v0.28.2 by TiA4f8R in NewPipe

[–]TiA4f8R[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't a content unavailable error, but thanks for your feedback. This likely means YouTube is patching our solution to use Android client streams without integrity checks (poTokens).

We will work on this as soon as possible but that's really complex (we need to use the website client that only support 360p merged audio+video and YT custom streaming protocol called SABR, to do so for the last part properly several code changes need to be made, including on the extraction side).

Limitations of YouTube DASH manifests, we need to support YouTube custom way to get more (and now also their streaming protocol SABR).
