Open swarupbc opened 3 years ago

swarupbc commented 3 years ago

This project looks like not maintained anymore, and the application is completely dead, is this project officially dead?

drogga commented 3 years ago

I hope not... @friendlyanon Didn't mention anything (officially) about quitting / not wanting to deal with this anymore, but it looks like it...

You can always try the PreUnified version, usually it gets updated with the new extractor within hours from the latest Newpipe release.

I really hope this project is still alive. My potato phone haven't got a single android update in years and this is one of the few apps I can use. For now I will try with the PreUnified fork.

I'm running NewPipe on the head unit of my car which unfortunately is stuck with Android 4.0.4. @friendlyanon: if still around, what is youre hourly rate to merge Legacy to the latest feasible release :-) ..

If so it should be removed from F-Droid

The legacy version is going to receive updates once we proceed with merging https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/7613 to provide a NewPipe version which supports Android KitKat

TobiGr commented 2 years ago

I think, I need to clarify my comment a bit: We'd like to use the same strategy used with the current legacy version: if someone wants to maintain a NewPipe version that supports Android KitKat we welcome their contribution. The NewPipe devs provide a repo and the name as well as point the legacy maintainers to code which might break KitKat support while reviewing PRs. However, we will not provide fixes to still support KitKat or any other updates because we'd rather focus on developing NewPipe and adding more features / bug fixes for a broader user base. We are confident that there will be users who keep maintaining the KitKat version. At least for a short period. We know that there are a few people who use NewPipe on KitKat devices.
