Could you provide a link to a video where this issue happens?

Could you provide a link to a video where this issue happens?

Any. For example this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKtk_sj3Ul0 or simulating link opening via am (works for Android 4.2.2 and NewPipeLegacy 0.20.2, data getted via logcat) :

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "vnd.youtube:iKtk_sj3Ul0?vndapp=youtube_mobile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=home" -n org.schabi.newpipe/.RouterActivity

Assuming you are talking about https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser, I could not reproduce. Could you see if this issue is present with other browsers (e.g. Chrome)? It is highly unlikely that Opera is the issue here.

Baltazar500 commented 3 years ago

com.opera.browser is not com.opera.browser.classic. It is hidden in GooglePlay https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser.classic or you can download it here https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/android/classic/Mobile_Classic_12_1_9_Generic_Opera_ARMv5v7.apk

Other browsers don't have this problem.

@Baltazar500 well, I still can't see it in the Play Store, even when I search myself. Perhaps it was removed but because you have the app already installed you can still see it?

Anyway, regarding the issue, @wb9688 was able to diagnose the cause. Apparently, apps usually send an intent with the data that is either the URL of the video or something like vnd.youtube:[ID_OF_VIDEO] if they want the app that opens the video to be YouTube specifically. But for some reason, Opera Classic instead sends an intent with data that looks like vnd.youtube:[ID_OF_VIDEO]?vndapp=youtube_mobile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=home. @wb9688 suggested that the part after ? should just be ignored.

Thanks for digging into it @wb9688!

When I start NewPipe through am without data after the "? ..." , I see the same "network error" popup after choosing a video player

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "vnd.youtube:iKtk_sj3Ul0" -n org.schabi.newpipe/.RouterActivity

Interesting, as that's something that's supposedly tested: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/blob/dev/extractor/src/test/java/org/schabi/newpipe/extractor/services/youtube/YoutubeStreamLinkHandlerFactoryTest.java#L81
