Can you guys try to see if it also occurs on the main app https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/releases/tag/v0.22.2 This one is using the same extractor version. I have a similiar issue on the main app, where it loads very long/infinitly on 720p, but works on 360p. This would indicate a throttling problem

Unfortunately, my car's head unit cannot install the main app because my Android version is only 4.3. That's why I'm using legacy. Also, I set it to 360p but it's still not loading the videos.

Thanks for your continued work on this app!

[mm40]

Hi, I cant go past 4.3 either. I've configured NewPipe to open videos in external player. So, NewPipe itself isn't even opening the video to play. When I click the video on trending tab, i get this screen, which is like that indefinetly. I also want to thank you for keeping this legacy version alive!

Same problem with 0.21.15 as others. Spinner progress in loop or "Guru Mediation" crash when submitting a link from chrome on 4.2.2. The original application 0.22.2 on 5.1 works without problems and without getting a loop. 360p in NewPipe-preuinified 0.21.15 does not solve the problem - progress remains in a loop.

Same problem :( Version 0.21.15-legacy Android 4.2.2

[no-name-here]

Any chances for this problem to be fixed?

[XiangRongLin]

Like I said this is probably a throttling problem. Address it in the main repo, if it isn't already.

[no-name-here]

But same 0.21.15-legacy works fine on my phone with Android 9. Problem appears only on an old tablet with Android 4.2.2 (and it appeared only in 0.21.15-legacy - previous version 0.21.14-legacy worked until recent google changes). So it looks more like a some change in extractor between versions 0.21.14 and 0.22.0 that is either unsupported or works differently in old Android versions.

As far as I know, main NewPipe version doesnt support Android lower than 4.4, so I dont think it is a good idea to post this as a bug report to a main project.

Well, thanks for the answer anyway - at least now I know that it wont be fixed (except by accident after some new changes to extractor).

Guys, try to use version 0.21.1 and let me know if it works for you so we can close this thread.

This version https://github.com/XiangRongLin/NewPipe-preuinified/releases/tag/v0.21.1-legacy ?

It works when sending a video from a browser. But the speed of receiving data is extremely low (~ 70 kb/s) due to the old algorithm for extracting a link (?) As a result, a slideshow is played instead of a video. When opening a video in a channel, I get a "Guru Mediation" error when opening an video.

Tried 0.21.1-legacy. Streams seem to work relatively fine (sometimes there are freezes, but they're rare enough to call it usable) - download speed is 250kb/s and higher. Videos can be viewed only at 240p max, even at 360p I get a slideshow, download speed seems to be capped at ~70 kb/s. Behavior is the same on Android 4.2.2 and Android 9.

[manilenio]

yeah, so there you have it... no fix. oh well, let's just keep our fingers crossed that the next version will work. still, thanks to the author for keeping this alive.
