• I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
• I checked if the issue/feature exists in the latest version.
• I did use the incredible bugreport to markdown converter to paste bug reports.

[SolaireJS]

Same here, I have tried reinstalling NewPipe, but it didn't help.

What are the reasons that this error happens?

[kowith337]

Probably #1659

[ghost]

Same here report the bug via email !?

[konkor]

YDL fixed it in the ytdl-org/youtube-dl#17464

[theScrabi]

#1659

[theScrabi]

@konkor thank you for the link :)

[konkor]

@theScrabi no problem :)

[LucasGorgal]

I am still having the issue.

[TobiGr]

@Imparium Are you using 0.14.1?

[LucasGorgal]

I'm using 0.14.0, the latest version from F-Droid.
Where can I get 0.14.1?

[DanGLES3]

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases you need to uninstall the fdroid version before installing this one

[LucasGorgal]

Ok, I see.
Thank you so much, keep up the nice work!

[chrislatorres]

Came here for this issue on 0.14.0. Using 0.14.1 fixed it, thanks!

[robertmaxton42]

Problem's back. 0.14.2.

[niaRamaro]

This problem occured again today. Version 0.14.2

[mirfatif]

Same here.

The problem is back on 0.14.2 , no video actually works.

[ghost]

Confirmed. I can't play any videos, even those that used to work.

[justanidea]

Download the 0.15.0 release on the website

[kolhevinaykumar]

No link. Please share a link to download latest version 0.15.0?

[VagisilTheDruid]

https://newpipe.schabi.org/blog/release/pinned/announcement/newpipe-0.15.0-released/

The devs said it has not been released yet. So we'll have to keep checking in F-Droid for when it'll be released :/

EDIT: after digging down the comments a bit, the devs posted a direct link to get it from github! Here:

[Stypox]

You can see that the version is 0.18.1, not 0.18.2. You will have either to wait for fdroid to update or download from github

[bunyevacz]

You meant this very problem existed in 0.18.1 and earlier versions, but it is already fixed in 0.18.2 ?

[Stypox]

Yep

[bunyevacz]

Looks like the issue is indeed fixed in 0.18.2.
