TobiGr commented 6 years ago

As already discussed before we need a place to explain features a little further. We collected some potential Q&As and tutorials in TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#1316:

Nevertheless we should introduce new features for each new version in a detailed blog post.

I'll come up with a nice design soon.

TheAssassin commented 6 years ago

Great idea. Thanks for taking care of this, @TobiGr.

TobiGr commented 6 years ago

I added some more interesting points and put them into categories. Does the grouping make sense to you? Should any items be removed? @theScrabi @TheAssassin @karyogamy @mauriciocolli @wb9688 Some things appear twice on the list which is not perfect, but I personally would search for them in both categories.

Player

Player handling

Player enhancements

Import / Export / Download

Known bugs / Can you please implement …?

TobiGr commented 6 years ago

I basically planned two different page types:

a) The FAQ & Tutorials landing page From here you can get to one of the three sub-sites. I think a search could be helpful too.

getimage 1

b) The sub-sites with the tutorials Initially the texts should be collapsed to offer a clean UI. Clicking on a title unfolds the content. This is quite handy for mobiles too.

getimage

When there are no objections, I'd start to implement this. This will take some time since we have beautiful weather in Germany right now ;)

theScrabi commented 6 years ago

I like the second one.

This will take some time since we have beautiful weather in Germany right now ;)

Joy it :D We get fried like egs in the pan down here in Spain.

karyogamy commented 6 years ago

Looks awesome =D

TheAssassin commented 6 years ago

Great work as usual.

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

Am planning on writing, the FAQ in this way.

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

I will send a document, once I compile the ideas.

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

Below, I have made a draft suitable for use on the project's github profile. Which can easily be adapted to the app's website. If you like this draft. I will keep working on the template i created. I await your reply.

New Pipe FAQs

What is New pipe

Newpipe is a lightweight Youtube frontend, created for users to enjoy the original Youtube experience on their mobile device, without annoying ads and questionable permissions. With Newpipe users can download their favorite videos without expiration limits. And can share their downloaded videos to friends.

Getting started on NewPipe

How you navigate through NewPipe depends on your selected video sharing app. New pipe offer users the option, to use Youtube and Soundcloud. On your Newpipe app, look at the top left of your screen, to see your selected video sharing app. You can click on it, to choose between Youtube and Soundcloud.

Newpipe Homepage

The Newpipe apps consist of the following main features

Trending

The trending section of Newpipe displays, the most popular videos from Youtube at the moment. It displays a random selection of popular videos, depending on your preferred content country. The default content country on your Newpipe is the **United Kingdom**. To change your default content country, please refer to the content section under the settings guide in this FAQ document.

Subscription

This tab shows you, the list of your subscribed channels. Tap on a channel to view the list of videos on the channel. ### Import/Export You can use this option to import and export channels from Youtube and Soundcloud. **1. To Import Subscription**: Tap on the import/export button, Select either Youtube or SoundCloud. * For Youtube: i. Go to this URL: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager?action_takeout=1 ii. Log in if asked. iii. A download will start (that’s the export file from your Youtube profile). iv. Go back to your Newpipe app, and tap on the **import file** at the bottom of the page. Now, select your downloaded Youtube export file. * For SoundCloud: i. Go to this URL: https://soundcloud.com/you, on a web browser (Make sure to enable desktop mode). ii. Log in when asked. iii. Copy the profile URL, you were directed to. iv. Go back to your Newpipe app and paste the URL in the space provided. Tap **import** at the bottom of the page. **2. Import from previous export**: Tap on **previous export**, to select from your previous exported files. **3. Export to**: This allows users to create a Json file, of their Youtube/SoundCloud subscriptions and save on their device.
TobiGr commented 6 years ago

@princekelly1 Thanks for writing some new FAQs. 👍 The subscriptions tutorial is really helpful. I'll implement it soon after the new app release. I'd like to change the trending FAQ a bit to start a new collection for the getting started page.

@TheAssassin @theScrabi @princekelly1 @saderror256 This is how I'd like to include and announce the FAQ page on the home page. Is there something missing which needs to be there?

Are there any tutorials which should be there instead of the save mobile data box? e.g. switch between players or import subscriptions. Which tutorials do you prefer to display on the main page?

As you can see, we need an additional tutorial on how to enable unknown sources and install NewPipe properly.

img_20181023_111623_2

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

My pleasure, glad you like it. Import subscription should be displayed in the tutorial box.

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

I can create a tutorial on how to enable unknown source to install the app.

princekelly1 commented 6 years ago

How to enable the unknown source to install NewPipe on your device

First method: Open your device settings. Then locate and open security settings, you should see an option Unknown sources. Activate it to allow installation of apps from unknown sources. Then you can download your Newpipe app and install successfully on your device.

Second Method: If you have downloaded the Newpipe app, and on installing, you get a message, For security, your phone is set to block installation of apps obtained from unknown sources. Click settings, and locate Unknown Sources, activate it. Go back to your installation and your app will be installed successfully on your device.

Stallonious commented 5 years ago

Feature request: When playing a video in pop-out, be able to minimize that pop-out and then come back to it without losing the video or place. Also, save the video speed across the platform. Thanks

manoelnascimento commented 5 years ago

If you accept a suggestion, I think there should be a page to deal with application errors. In my case, for example, the application always failed to import YouTube subscription files. With SondCloud it works fine, but with YouTube the import always gives error messages. I tried to research something on the subject, but there does not seem to be anything available on the internet that deals with such issues. (Translated by Google Translator)

rugk commented 5 years ago

BTW remember that this "unknown sources" handling changed with Android 9 (or Android 8?). This needs to be accounted for in the FAQ.

B0pol commented 4 years ago

About comments, it's now in the app, but no comment replies Then we should update this section image

TobiGr commented 4 years ago

@B0pol Thanks! What about this: image

B0pol commented 4 years ago

Looks perfect to me

denterwiser commented 4 years ago

Hi everyone.

Excuse me if this is the wrong place to write a suggestion, but could you please include in the FAQ a section on privacy? I know your privacy policy discusses what you may collect, but I think it would be extremely helpful to write something similar to what I see on the Invidio.us site where they also point us to the googlevideo.com's privacy policy as they link directly to videos on their servers: https://invidio.us/privacy

This website provides links to googlevideo.com to provide audio and video playback. googlevideo.com is owned by Google and is subject to their privacy policy.

This way we can all make an informed decision if some of the content you link to has my device directly connecting to YouTube's servers.

I would write this myself, but I am not a coder so I don't know how.

Thanks for the great app looking forward to seeing further development.

TheAssassin commented 4 years ago

Very good idea. Our own privacy policy also requires a link on the third party services' privacy policies. But an FAQ entry is surely helpful, too.

Poolitzer commented 4 years ago

I will write smth together

panther7 commented 3 years ago

Hi, export youtube subscription doesn't works by tutorial: https://newpipe.schabi.org/FAQ/tutorials/import-export-data/#import-youtube

denilsonsa commented 3 years ago

"Export and backup all NewPipe data" sounds like it will preserve both the subscriptions, history and playlists; and also all the settings.

However, the text in the paragraph doesn't mention if the settings are preserved or not. It would be clearer if this FAQ entry were explicit about it. (Just like it is already explicit about "not only your subscriptions, but also your search and watch history (...) and local playlists". So, include settings in this sentence, or add another sentence explaining what is NOT backed up.)

lizardson79 commented 3 years ago

If this app has widget(audio only) on home screen, it will be god like app.

opusforlife2 commented 3 years ago

@lizardson79 This is the repo for the NewPipe website, not the app. Please comment in the correct repo.

goyalyashpal commented 3 years ago

hi, i think that in this page adding repo.. those 2 parts can be merged.

treaz commented 3 years ago

+1 on https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/import-export-data/#import-youtube not being valid anymore as youtube now exports to CSV the subsections file

Poolitzer commented 3 years ago

hi, i think that in this page adding repo.. those 2 parts can be merged.

Hi, Im not sure I get your request. They show two different ways of adding the NewPipe repo. Or do you mean that after step 6 they are the same.

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

hi @Poolitzer , i totally forgot about that.

yeah, so, what i want to say can't be illustrated as such. i though to show it in a diff itself, but html is not smth i feel very confident editing on my own. since i dont know much of it, it feels very subjective matter to me rather than clearly definable quality. so...

Update:

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

amh, also, i have some doubts regarding first method (the automatic one).

  1. for the first point, to make either of this work, i have to use external apps. Is that intended?
    1. how will u scan the qr code? external apps required qr code scanner apps like: qr code scanner
    2. and clicking the link does nothing either. required external apps: the intent redirector like: Open Link with
  2. oh, and also, the highlighted portion below still applies for the automatic section (step 3). so, why are they not included in on there? vivaldi_OvFXQ2T4ix

Solving these doubts can maybe provide me with some insight on how can i better get my point across.

btw shall i open this whole suggestion in a separate issue and move over these last 3 comments of mine there?

rodcpanel commented 2 years ago

I have uninstalled NewPipe after years of use. It is too unreliable.

Worked for years okay. Last week version 0.22.1 on my Android 11 Samsung tablet stopped working 'unable to parse website'. Deleted app, reinstalled latest version, now it can parse website, I am able to watch/listen in app but unable to download any files because NewPipe now refuses to recognise any of my file managers although it could last week. Prompts me to install a scoped storage file manager - all of my managers are Android 11+ compatible.

Thirty minutes ago, I installed 0.22.1 on my Samsung Android 12 phone. Was able to 'parse website', was able to download one audio file, everything normal. Ten minutes later tried to re-use the app and error message 'unable to resolve host "suggestqueries.google.com" '. Turned off all vpn and privacy/security settings to see it that helped. Nope app still screwing up and for no good reason.

When it was working it was okay but it always infuriated me that I was forced to look at 'trending' when opening the app. Could not turn it off. Just sickening dross. It is mind rape.

I will look for an alternative to NewPipe. But disappointed because it was basically a great app and helped me go google-free back when I installed custom rom on my old Nexus 7 tablet. Happy days. No more. Nothing last for ever.

goyalyashpal commented 2 years ago

(i cant say the exact names, 'cz i dont use en(glish). that's why i am including item number)

  1. Settings
  2. Contents (Globe icon, 5th item)
  3. Main Page Content (4th item)
  4. Bring "Blank Page" to top by tap and dragging the "burger" button

XboxMik29 commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've not used Github much before so I hope this is the right place to ask this. I wanted to request a feature. I listen to a lot of podcasts and streams on YouTube but I've noticed since YT have moved all the live stream videos to it's own section for each content creator the NewPipe app doesn't find them anymore. Can we get a update to show this content and if its already in the app please tell me how to do it. Lol, thanks

opusforlife2 commented 1 year ago

@XboxMik29 This is the wrong place. You need to search in the Issues tab for your problem, then open a new issue if you don't find it.

goyalyashpal commented 1 year ago

I think it should be added at the top in the description:

#################### 
## This issue is NOT for posting noob FAQs.
## Do NOT post here unless you are familiar

opusforlife2 commented 1 year ago

xD Anyone who bothers reading the issue description will already know this is the case.

goyalyashpal commented 1 year ago

.... umh, but having an extra measure won't hurt?

opusforlife2 commented 1 year ago

Noobs and non-English speakers are the only ones who would stumble into this issue. There's no cure but to handle such cases one by one. Of course, one day GH will have a ChatGPT assistbot which will automatically direct users where to go in their native language.

COMMANDS DO NOT WORK IN LOCK MODE iOS I would like to comment that when you lock the phone and the play command screen is displayed, it locks and in order to continue playing songs automatically, you must unlock the phone at the end of each song. To restore the function, you must restart the application.

SharktheNerd commented 10 months ago

Hey, guys! I love the app!

Is it able to play YT playlists and stay in the playlist? Mine keeps randomizing to other ("related") content after the 1st video in a playlist.

If there's a setting I can change, please let me know.

Thanks, Sean Kraft

I turned off the "auto-enqueuing" option and it seems to be playing playlists uninterrupted.

RoadToGlasfaser commented 10 months ago

Hi, there is no bug report button. Nether on the Website nor in the App. I have double checked on 2 devices. The FAQ tells you to come here in case something is missing. Since the last big comment is a "do not FAQ" I think there is a communication problem.

In case you want bug reports read further:

The wrong info is shown underneath a video I'm watching.

Step by step creation:

  1. Reload follow page
  2. Have 1 new video
  3. Click it
  4. Go on full screen
  5. Watch the full length
  6. Minimise the video to bottom of screen
  7. Browse the trends
  8. Scroll a bit
  9. Click a video
  10. Check the info
  11. Info of the last video is still showing
Rosee220 commented 4 months ago

I have a problem with NewPipe, when i am watching specific videos, the app is skipping seconds a lot, what i mean is, that it skips every 4 seconds like about 2 seconds, so i don't understand anything the people are saying in the video. That is super annoying and i don't understand why. I can't watch for example 0:01-0:12, then i can watch again 3 seconds and the next 5 seconds are gone. Somebody please help me

rugk commented 4 months ago

BTW does this issue even need to stay open (and atttrackt people posting off topic stuff here)? After all the FAQ is there for quite a time and it looks solid.

So what is still missing/the reason for keeping this issue open?

TheAssassin commented 4 months ago

Closing for now, thanks for the hint.
