• [YouTube] Fix extraction of videos in channels and in feeds when not using dedicated mode (RSS feeds) TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#944

  ⚠️ 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.

• [YouTube] Fix 403 HTTP errors when playing sometimes videos in some countries by using a workaround TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#960

  ⚠️ The workaround can break at any time. If you see this error again, and you have the ability to block network requests to specific domains for apps on your device, you can block the youtubei.googleapis.com domain to work around this issue.

  However, this has a few downsides:

  • the 720p video stream with audio (used for external players) will be not available on musical contents;
  • the 48kbps M4A audio stream and the 144p 3GPP video stream will be not available;
  • the rewind duration of livestreams will be limited to 30 seconds at most, instead of 1 hour.

• [YouTube] Fix extraction of author and video count of playlists with their new metadata format TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#958

  ⚠️ With the new metadata format, no author thumbnail is returned anymore.
