I'm experiencing this as well.

instylegithub · 2022-02-01T02:02:39Z

I have the same issue at around the same time. :(

Fredy-1422 · 2022-02-01T02:04:18Z

google has made an actual large update to their youtube app changing the ui in the process, and some backbend stuff. Youtube vanced is prabably experiencing the same issues

ton3not · 2022-02-01T02:29:55Z

The same issue please fix youtube harasses me with insulting personal ads.

severtheskyline · 2022-02-01T02:35:56Z

You could try an Invidious instance as a temporary fix for this.

CorentinBrule · 2022-02-01T02:57:54Z

If it helps devs or users : New Pipe Legacy works for me

AbduAmeen · 2022-02-01T03:43:17Z

Based on the log, it looks like there is a problem with fetching the video stream. It seems that the extractor only is able to get the metadata of the videos and isn't able to get the streams.

severtheskyline · 2022-02-01T03:44:54Z

Also, before the "Something went wrong" takes over the screen, you can see that the comments do in fact load, just the stream that haves issues.

If it helps devs or users : New Pipe Legacy works for me

Newpipe Legacy is working still? I tried the Sponsorblock fork and the non-Sponsorblock, as I have both of them installed on my Pixel 6 Pro but thought 3 separate instances of NP was overkill. I guess I was wrong, off to F-Droid I go...

edit - nvm, I answered my own question. Thanks for the heads up. Also, in the interest of keeping others from making the same mistake and wasting their time, DO NOT attempt to import your playlists, channel groups, settings, etc. from any of the affected Newpipe versions, as it'll instantly bork Legacy Newpipe.

edit #2 - it seems I was a bit hasty to conclude that Newpipe Legacy was working properly for me as well. I don't get the instant "Guru Meditation" error page but I do get a little message toast saying the something went wrong, however the wheel continues to spin and the video does begin playback, however, for me anyway it starts and stops every few seconds, which may as well be completely borked like the other versions. I even tried setting the default to open in an external player/VLC with the same result. I guess it'll be web-based options (read: Invidious) for the time being....

edit #3 - it seems at least preliminarily that changing the playback speed acts as a sort of workaround and solves the constant stopping and starting. So far, I've only tried going slower than full speed, half-speed to be exact which isn't really a pleasurable viewing experience but might help to inform devs as to what the core issue is, who knows?

uowa4 · 2022-02-01T04:14:38Z

looks like youtube-dl backend is not affected. works in windows cmd and gpodder.

scourii · 2022-02-01T04:41:06Z

Having the same issues on my CalyxOS phone, but the Legacy version works for now.

AbduAmeen · 2022-02-01T05:12:33Z

It seems the issue is that in this file, the function parseDecodeFunctionName fails because the regex looks for a statement that looks like this: b=a.get("n"))&&(b=Bpa[0](b),a.set("n",b)

Because the regex: "b=a\\.get\\(\"n\"\\)\\)&&\\(b=(\\w+)\\(b\\),a\\.set\\(\"n\",b\\)" looks for only word characters, the [0] causes a regex error, thus throwing the exception.

moriel5 · 2022-03-10T15:04:15Z

I can confirm that I have ~~the same~~a similar issue, with NewPipe unable to connect to the server at all, specifically when trying to stream or download videos.

Unlike the others here, however, my copy is up to date, at version 0.22.1.

Update: It always that something was weird with my connection, all is good now.

Update2: This has got to do with my ISP, since I cannot stream with NewPipe at all home, however at my friend's workplace there are no issues (I'll check on cellular and with the browser).

Update3: No issues with the YouTube website on a WebView browser (SmartCookieWeb), only with NewPipe.

Update 4: No issues with Piped either.

christianwhite240 · 2022-03-13T21:27:50Z

After 6 weeks, it STILL WON'T PLAY ANY VIDEOS!!
What is going on? Why have they still not fixed it yet?

ilmagico · 2022-03-13T21:33:18Z

Plays fine for me... on 0.21.16.

christianwhite240 · 2022-03-13T21:36:18Z

Oh, I didn't even know there was 0.21.16. The latest version the F-Droid and ApkMirror store are showing is 0.21.15, and the F-Droid store is saying NewPipe was last updated 2 months ago, which was before the issue started

ilmagico · 2022-03-13T21:41:01Z

Yep, this was fixed in a matter of maybe a day or two. Always check for new releases on github, I guess...

christianwhite240 · 2022-03-13T21:44:20Z

Alright I've just downloaded the 0.21.16 from GitHub and it's working fine now. Thanks for your advice 🙂

ilmagico · 2022-03-13T21:48:16Z

You're welcome! Apparently there are even newer releases, you might want to try the latest as well.
Also, make sure to add newpipe's own fdroid repo as explained here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#installation-and-updates

moriel5 · 2022-03-14T03:24:29Z

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's my ISP at this point, some the same exact issue is happening with other devices, however it is fine when on cellular data (e.g. hotspot). This is also preventing me from downloading anything via Aurora Store (though that is unrelated to the usage of NewPipe).

I'll be speaking with my ISP's representatives, and we'll see.

Interestingly, it appears that there issue is specifically with getting the stream sources, however once you already have them, it's downloads without any issues (as evidenced by initiating without actually staying, a download on cellular, switching to WiFi, and then starting the download).

opusforlife2 · 2022-03-14T13:29:50Z

Alright I've just downloaded the 0.21.16 from GitHub

@christianwhite240 Why? When the latest version is much newer than that?

christianwhite240 · 2022-03-14T13:48:23Z

I do already have the latest version now but I wasn't aware of it when the other person told me about 0.21.16. When they told me there were newer versions (which you can see in the comments) I downloaded the latest version after looking for it
