Extractor changelog

⚠️ This version contains breaking changes (thus the bump to 0.24):

Due to the removal of the usage of InnerTube API keys, some methods in YoutubeParsingHelper which can be used by clients have been changed in TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1168:

• areHardcodedClientVersionAndKeyValid was renamed to isHardcodedClientVersionValid
• getKey was removed, since there is no InnerTube API key anymore
• resetClientVersionAndKey was renamed to resetClientVersion
• isHardcodedYoutubeMusicKeyValid was renamed to isHardcodedYoutubeMusicClientVersionValid
• getYoutubeMusicKey was renamed to getYoutubeMusicClientVersion and now just returns the version instead of (key, name, version), since there is no key anymore and the name is fixed ("67") and therefore hardcoded
• other related methods which are not really meant to be used outside of the extractor

Android 13 too, though it's specifically the two custom buttons that don't work. The 3 default ones do.

That's this execption, I guess: caught on a nightly though. Not sure if it is one with the latest extractor commit.

[Stypox]

It's fixed on the extractor dev, but again the comments fix branch which the RC was based on is some commits behind dev

[minecraftchest1]

I can only view one page of comments now. This was not the case in 0.26.1

[AudricV]

If that's for YouTube, that's a mistake from my side that I fixed in the extractor code. See TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1163 (comment).

[FranciscoPombal]

Raising awareness for #10746, please take a look at it for this release if possible.

I know it's possible to add NewPipe's own repo as a workaround, but that's some additional friction for less tech savvy users and it's just more convenient if it's available in the default repo.

As of writing, the latest version available on f-droid's default repo is 0.25.2.

[Stypox]

RC2 landed:

• fixed not loading more comments
• fixed crash when old comment layout is provided by YouTube (i.e. the NullPointerException above), since now the NewPipeExtractor is up-to-date

Release APK (built and signed by @Stypox): NewPipe_v0.27.0_RC2_release.zip

[NewNewPipe]

It looks like more comments are already loaded in RC2, whether all of them I don't know yet.

Thanks for launching the functionality
in the comments section about displaying replies to comments.

I am still very much missing the record of comments to the file. For now, I am assisting in other ways.

[opusforlife2]

@Stypox Notif buttons work now! Still, it would be good to confirm with someone using A12-.

[Stypox]

Exception: User Action: requested feed

@JohhanSam that's not a regression (i.e. it was there even in 0.26.1, see #10863). Anyway, could you test #10957?

it's not possible to watch anything on recent releases at all for a couple of days. It always crashes. Nightly 97 is the last one working I think. 97 to 111 are all crashing at all times.

@fenopa could you provide more information on the crash you are experiencing, and open an issue for it? Since nightly 97 was the same as release 0.26.0, this is also not a regression though.

player notification buttons don't work. android 12.

@NaN-Sz I can reproduce with RC1, but now I can't with RC2. Can you confirm that this is the case? I think Android Studio messed up the package name in BuildConfig since I forgot to "Sync project with Gradle files" which caused intents to refer to the wrong package name, or something like that (can't be sure though)

[AudricV]

Rotating your device outside of the app when the comment replies view was the last view shown makes the app crash. Here is a video which shows the problem:

Yes, buttons are working perfectly now.

Timestamps in comment replies are not clickable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKh2LdXNU3g

@armelolsens2496
2:10 incroyable ❤😭

It’s clickable in comment views, but if you click on replies it isn’t anymore.

I'm not sure how actual comment replies behave (i.e. replies to a comment, what i said is reply to video but in comment replies view), I couldn’t find one

[TheCRISTLAD]

im import my preferences/config, I passed all my configuration without any problem

[Stypox]

@B0pol your issue is actually already fixed after the latest merged changes in TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1163, we'll publish a new RC soon

[jpggithub]

Newpipe 0.27.0 RC3 works well including tree comments.
Thank you!

Work flawlessly!
Nice job 👍

[stellarkookies]

Android 14, LineageOS 21, Pixel 4a 5G (bramble)
Have used 0.27.0 RC3 for about a week now. No noticeable regressions or serious issues.
Comments load properly, as well as comment trees.
Content loading is also very consistent; much better than in the current stable release.
Thanks for the good work y'all do. Looking forward to the official release :)

When SAF is on, everything is fine, but the download path in settings looks weird, like content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary:Download. Instead of /storage/emulated/0/Download, when SAF is off, but crashes.
