Due to the separation of shorts and livestreams (including VODs) of most channels into separate tabs, these contents will be not available until channel tabs support is added.

However, you can use workarounds until this support is added:

For feeds, use the dedicated method to fetch channels (a.k.a. RSS feeds); For channels: you can use the uploads playlist of a channel to get all its public videos: take a channel ID (not a username or a handle), replace UC by UU at the beginning of the ID and use the resulting ID as a playlist ID (append this ID to a playlist URL like https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list= and then open this URL in NewPipe). These playlists may be not available on some YouTube "system" channels.

Solving #2414 should automatically solve this issue.

I nearly created a bug report for this but saw that there are a lot of related bugs that have the same underlying problem. Can this advice be moved to a more public place like FAQs or perhaps a known issues page so that this is more visible?
