This PR should go into master, shouldn't it, since it is a hotfix release?

[opusforlife2]

Yup. That's how it's usually done. And then master is merged into dev.

[Stypox]

A hotfix allows work on the master branch instead of the dev branch.

I'll take care of this

[B0pol]

yes it should, my bad

[B0pol]

done. It was already based on master, but by default it selected dev on github

[falaafel]

Can someone give me steps to install the new version and to get it running nicely?

Does the current dev branch work for you? I've tried installing the original dev (after errors in rebased builds) but I get the "three attempts"-error again. I've noticed that the master branch has a different extractor version which works without problems.

[B0pol]

No, it does not. master has not been merged into dev. To fix that, temporarily change NewpipeExtractor version in app/build.gradle to the latest commit hash here

@TobiGr @TheAssassin (maybe?) please merge master into dev and update extractor version

[vkay94]

@B0pol Yeah, I did that locally, I just though that the TeamNewPipe version in dev contains the fix since the hash now differs from before 😄

Doesn't really explain the actual updating process...
It says to deinstall newpipe to then update the source packages on F-Droid???

Edit: Had to install it from the F-Droid store again, this time with the new source. Works now. Thanks for the fix!
