Limited time support for v0.19.8 #4918
Comments
|
Thank you. 0.20.2 and 0.20.3 have been next to impossible to use for me due to constant crashes. Your debug build so far seems to work. Your 0.19.8 release build, however, for me fails to load any videos at all in search, trending, or (imported) subscription lists. |

I can't really help you there. I generated the apks again and updated my post above.
no new features are getting backported |
Aight, I understand. |
The regenerated apk suddenly works no problem. |
|
Although i don't plane to use it myself. this is very needed. Thank you @XiangRongLin |

How is this any different from #4686? |
That the OA is the one who provided solution in that mentioned FR. This is just a separate issue to be pinned alone |
|
Good point. This isn't a PR, but it 'fixes' that issue. |
|
@eladkarako Your repo has no sources at all. You do know that it's illegal to distribute the binary without the source, right? |
|
TL;TR the pre-unified version is not compatible with older devices. Update the app/build.gradle file and include: in the v0.19.8 version. because the lastest extractor aims the sdk v26 (android 8), See TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#417. edit: ¡the release apk is not signed!. wont install unless it is regenerated |
|
I'm also unable to use this pre-unified version due to the lack of desugaring, if those commits could be added that would be appreciated. |
|
@kapodamy I can't get it to work by just cherry picking those 2 commits and merging them. I get an error when opening a video on api 19 emulator, that i won't make the effort to understand. |
|
@XiangRongLin I added those commits and also made other changes (update kotlin) that I should have told you. I did a pr with the missing changes |
|
@kapodamy I can't get it to work on the API 19 emulator with your changes. Is it something specific to the emulator? |
API 19 sounds a bit old, that may be caused by the JDK bump, since from what I found, they recommend JDK6 for widest compatibility on Android. @XiangRongLin |
Im using it because its the minSDK of the project @kubo6472 |
|
@XiangRongLin i tested on 3 kitkat devices and works fine. Im getting this issue #4957 only in the emulator. |
Desugaring backports the JDK 8 types (the date/time API) for use on older versions of Android. |
Commit eb1cddd might fix this issue. |
@kapodamy ok, then its just the emulator. I updated my post with your changes. @BlueAmulet fyi |
|
Sadly, this build can't be used on Android 11, because old background player notification is completely broken there. So now I'm stuck with v0.20 (which hasn't been updated on F-Droid since 0.20.1, by the way). I had to stop using NewPipe for anything other than background playback (the only feature that isn't frustrating to use in 0.20, yet), and have no choice but to use a regular web browser for anything else. I never thought that such a great app could become so useless so quickly. Thanks for keeping it alive on earlier Android versions, at least. |
|
@XiangRongLin is it possible to build NewPipe Legacy 0.19.8 (Android 4.1) with NewPipe Extractor 0.20.x or not? |
|
@rikishi0071 I just cherry-picked all commits. app-release.zip |
|
I get the same crash that happens in emulator, I'm running an Android Nougat 7.1 device |
|
@nbmrjuhneibkr lucky you that i have android 11 too. check out the new apk at the top |
|
@XiangRongLin it works now, thank you! |

I just wanted to really thank you for this one. For more than a month, I haven't had any issues with your builds, and didn't have to worry that suddenly these and these videos wouldn't play. This is as close to a finished app experience I can imagine. Since it's built on the old system everyone is used to, and just the backend is being adjusted, no big sudden changes, less stuff that can break etc. I appreciate the work guys did on the unified player, and how hard they worked on fixing everything, but that philosophically breaks use cases. Nvm, thanks again a have a nice Christmas eve day. |
|
Thank you, works great. |
|
@XiangRongLin I created a PR for your fork of NewPipe Legacy. |
|
Thanks for the continuous updates. Seeing how little has been done to fix some of the terrible design decisions in NewPipe 0.20, I feel like this fork will stay relevant for quite some time. |
|
Months fly by, but v0.20 remains without option to stop autoplay, or playing in landscape without rotating phone. |
|
I created a repo where i'll upload the releases from now on. So it's possible to just watch the releases of that repo in order to get notified. https://github.com/XiangRongLin/NewPipe-preuinified/releases/ |
|
Thank you so much, the new UI has become more of a pain with each update so far, and unless they add an option to turn off the unified player I guess I will stick with your version as long as I can. :-) |
|
Thank you for your work !! ... 👍👍✨ |

I would be willing to provide a limited time support for NewPipe v0.19.8 while the issues with the new UI get addressed and I myself am comfortable to switch over. It would only contain updating the extractor version and fixing things if the public API of the extractor changes. No bugfixes specific to NewPipe and not NewPipeExtractor.
Unless there are major changes in the extractor this would be ok for me since i plan to use it myself.
NewPipe and NewPipe Legacy.
