Videos aren't loading since today.

The latest version of SkyTube Extra version 2.981 isn't loading videos anymore, all other things are working including loading of feeds and comments. It just gets stuck in the loading GIF, no errors given or thrown.

Probably same issue newpipe has?

TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#8760

[pgpierremb2]

I believe SkyTube uses newpipe extractor, hence must be the same issue @nomisunrider pointed out. Will this be fixed anytime soon or most people don't use SkyTube?

I think the changes in TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#891 should just be applied and then it should work again.

The problem is that newpipe needs to publish publish/ have an acceptable build, so that Skytube can update it. The best thin you can do is to use the official player.

New version of newpipe is out

@pgpierremb2 - You can close this now (the latest artifacts can be DLed from the Actions workflow, in which the playback now works again).
@gzsombor - Please compile a release build, so I can install/update over the old one, because I prefer not having to backup and restore to the Snapshot build, which is with another package name (ID) and it's signed with a debug key.
I think that there's no need to have a major update with significant changes in order to push a new release, only the versionCode can be bumped to 42 and the versionName can stay at 2.981

Can someone test with a Snapshot build? https://github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube/actions/runs/2853781139
As SkyTube works for me previously, probably this change only affects certain countries/territories.

Thanks @drogga - and all the others who helped! I've created a new release!
