[x] I am using the latest version - 0.21.15 (see this: comment ) I am using the older version - 0.21.13
[x] I checked 🔍 : series , and following is a related (but not duplicate) issue: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/5793
[x] I have read the contribution guidelines
[x] This issue contains only one bug. I will open one issue for every bug report I want to file.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Go to a channel > playlists > series. That is, channel which have series: like:
- 3blue1brown
- TedEd
Open any of the series' link in newpipe, like:
- Essence of linear algebra : SE (episodes) - 3blue1brown
- TED-Ed Riddles : Season 1 : SE (episodes) - TedEd
- ... through to "Season 4"

Actual behavior

it shows me this message with a frown face:
```
(ಠ_ಠ)
No videos
```

Expected behavior

The playlist should open
Or atleast a message should be shown that series playlists are not supprted yet
'Cz otherwise it looks like a perfectly normal playlist link, and person may get confused and feel that newpipe is less reliable

For investigation, some other series/seasons (SE), and "Learning playlists" (LP) opened fine: (i tried with playlists which show the episode/video count in the bottom bar in playlist thumbnail, as against in the right side for normal playlists)
- There's a Poem for That : Season 1 : SE (episodes) - teded
- Myths from Around the World : SE (episodes) - teded
- Think Like A Coder : LP (videos) - teded
- Cells : LP (videos) - KhanAcademy
So, like categories in blueish: 1 (normal), 2 (learning), and 3 (??) work,
- but red category 4 (??) doesnt work
- the confusion is that category 3 and 4 look exactly same

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

And entering in the scope of other issue (#5793) :

the Category 1 (normal), and 2 (learning/videos) are searchable in NewPipe but
the Category 3, & 4 (??/episodes) are NOT searchable in NewPipe

(i wrote this here, as i have laid all the foundation here, so....)

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

Summary (TL;DR) :

Category	Appearance of thumbnail	Links open in Npipe	Searchable in NPipe	Example
1. Normal P	* video count on right	v	v	any
2. Learning P	video count on bottom have a special label	v	v	Cells - by KA
3. Se--??	* episode count on bottom	v	x	Myths from Around the World - by TedEd
4. Se--??	* episode count on bottom	x	x	TED-Ed Riddles : Season 1 - by TedEd

SE--?? : means "Series/Seasons (not sure)"

Regardless of what version you use, you need to reproduce the issue in the latest version for it to be actionable.

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

i agree with that, but this issue is very easy to test as i have provided all the links here. i thought that at least someone from community (not saying from team) will post their "Reproduction report" here with latest version.... but seems that's not the case on this tracker.

[x] I am using the latest version - 0.21.15

Steps to reproduce the bug

Open with NewPipe this serie link (Essence of linear algebra, as written before) or TED-Ed Riddles : Season 1

Actual Behavior

If you open the link by clicking on it, this notification will appear and ~5 seconds after disappear, without NewPipe opening the link.
If you open the link by pasting it in NewPipe directly, it will show a blank screen.

Summary (TL;DR) :

Category Appearance of thumbnail Links open in Npipe Searchable in NPipe Example

Normal P * video count on right v v any

Learning P * video count on bottom

have a special label v v Cells - by KA

Se--?? * episode count on bottom v x Myths from Around the World - by TedEd

Se--?? * episode count on bottom x x TED-Ed Riddles : Season 1 - by TedEd SE--?? : means "Series/Seasons (not sure)"

I tried, and this grid is up-to-date with 0.21.15.

but this issue is very easy to test

Then why not do so? 🤦 All you need is a database import and you have a duplicate Newpipe ready to test.

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

a duplicate Newpipe ready to test.

how duplicate?? won't that override my existing newpipe??

that's what i dislike about android. such type of testing is much easier done on windows, but for android, this seems undoable without using some good trickery

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

someone from community will post their "Reproduction report" here with latest version....

how about having a label like "need reproduction on latest"

opusforlife2 commented 2 years ago

won't that override my existing newpipe??

Huhuhuhu... No. 😈

some good trickery

Hah. Our trickery is the best.

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

the horn-y emoji says it all lol. anyways, this is offtopic now. i dont think it's good to have this talk here. will hide and self mark mine as OT

opusforlife2 commented 2 years ago

@yashpalgoyal1304 Pfffft. I was actually serious. You can install PR APKs side by side with the release version. It's been this way for over a year.

Anyway, even if you don't trust this, you can just take a database backup before messing around.

triallax commented 2 years ago

@opusforlife2 yes, PR APKs, but not release APKs. Be careful.
