NewPipeZing Reloaded version 0.19.8 with up-to-date NewPipeExtractor dependency

Description

This repository contains old preunified version 0.19.8 of NewPipe Android application with Java 8 Compatible for old devices NewPipeExtractor dependency.

The application itself heavily relies on the extractor component which is responsible for proper parsing of various video/audio streams, including Youtube site. The old NewPipe version 0.19.8 depends on old extractor version which is practically deprecated and can't handle current Youtube (and similar?) streams, thus rendering the application useless for daily use.

NewPipe version 0.19.8 in this repository uses the current version of NewPipeExtractor and resolves the forementioned issue, thus making it possible to use old NewPipe version 0.19.8 with the current extractor version.

Additionally, direct access to background player window is added to an in-app menu.

Original NewPipe 0.19.8: GitHub - TeamNewPipe/NewPipe 0.19.8

Motivation

Not so long ago, NewPipe project implemented a new UI elements for video streams. Personally, I didn't like that change. I wanted to keep using the old UI instead.

Updates

When a change to the NewPipe code occurs (due to either adding features or bug fixing), eventually a release will occur. These are in the format x.xx.x . In order to get this new version, you can:

1. Download the APK from releases and install it.
2. Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using above method. Note that building an APK debug excludes a key.

In the meanwhile, if you want to switch sources for some reason (e.g. NewPipe's core functionality was broken and F-Droid doesn't have the update yet), we recommend following this procedure:

1. Back up your data via "Settings>Content>Export Database" so you keep your history, subscriptions, and playlists
2. Uninstall NewPipe
3. Download the APK from the new source and install it
4. Import the data from step 1 via "Settings>Content>Import Database"
