I'm also having problem fetching my Subscriptions 76/86 don't get updated.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

bauspanderu · 2021-04-01T07:15:36Z

I'm having the same issue, I think it's because of a new cookie site that opens before the actual channel.

Neeqstock · 2021-04-01T12:31:58Z

Same issue: Could not get ytInitialData

TobiGr · 2021-04-01T12:32:17Z

We are on it.
See TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#592

TobiGr · 2021-04-01T12:54:01Z

Can you please test this debug version and tell me whether the problem is solved?
app-debug.zip

Mattrazol · 2021-04-01T13:10:38Z

@TobiGr Yes it seems to work now.

noahjutz · 2021-04-01T15:29:46Z

Can you please test this debug version and tell me whether the problem is solved?
app-debug.zip

Works for me, too.

Neeqstock · 2021-04-01T17:29:15Z

Can you please test this debug version and tell me whether the problem is solved?
app-debug.zip

This test version works for me also (using it from Italy, Europe).

As a temporary workaround on the main version (0.21.0), since the issue affects only Europe, if I connect through a VPN to a server outside Europe, the app works.

TobiGr · 2021-04-02T21:46:33Z

Here is another debug APK. This time with no consent given (PENDING+999). Please test again.
Note: No cookie set, using the CONSENT header....
app-debug.zip

Mattrazol · 2021-04-02T21:54:37Z

@TobiGr yes, this last one seems to work as well for me.

Gaffen · 2021-04-02T23:21:32Z

I tried a version earlier today and it worked, then I uninstalled it. I reinstalled just now and got prompted to do the cookie thing. I completed it successfully and returned to newpipe but search wouldn't work; I get the ytinitialdata error again.

darrenmothersele · 2021-04-03T20:56:42Z

#5977 (comment)

Works for me. Thanks.

Gaffen · 2021-04-03T21:55:16Z

I tried a version earlier today and it worked, then I uninstalled it. I reinstalled just now and got prompted to do the cookie thing. I completed it successfully and returned to newpipe but search wouldn't work;

My bad; I uninstalled uninstalled and reinstalled the most recently linked debug version; I now appear to be able to use the search facility.

However, when I import my old settings it no longer works

deltragon · 2021-04-04T17:44:47Z

However, when I import my old settings it no longer works

Same problem here, however it only affects the settings - if I clear the data, and import only subscriptions, playlist and history, but decline settings, it keeps working.

Mattrazol · 2021-04-10T14:52:40Z

After the latest update it got worse. Before if I did the challenge it would work for a few videos, but now it doesn't work at all. It keeps asking to solve the challenge over and over without reproducing any videos whatsoever.

Neeqstock · 2021-04-10T15:44:20Z

Same here (internet access from Italy).
Version 0.21.1 gives the same issue as before. Cannot search for any video, although it can reproduce videos from links.

Strangely enough, the Debug Version posted by TobiGr (0.21.0 Debug, app-debug.zip) still works perfectly without giving the ytInitialData issue.

darrenmothersele · 2021-04-10T17:48:36Z

I can confirm that search isn't working with version 0.21.1
Error: org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.exceptions.ParsingException: Could not get ytInitialData

But version 0.21.0 Debug from above is working fine.

12people · 2021-05-26T12:05:23Z

Now I'm having the same problem again, but the option to clear reCaptcha no longer appears in settings.

I use an EU VPN and turning off the VPN fixes the problem.

AudricV · 2021-05-26T12:25:04Z

@12people Did you try the RC of the 0.21.3 version or my APK using the link I mentioned above? Can you reproduce the bug with these two versions?

martinambrus · 2021-06-15T07:48:32Z

Latest debug version from the linked build page works for me in Europe - Slovakia.

Ignacy-s · 2021-06-18T08:54:36Z

Now I'm having the same problem again, but the option to clear reCaptcha no longer appears in settings.

I use an EU VPN and turning off the VPN fixes the problem.

This is a working workaround for me! Thanks much! (I connected from EU and therefore search didn't work, vids started normally).

WORKAROUND:
VPN trough non-EU state (tested with USA and Nord).
Search works now.

AudricV · 2021-07-06T15:47:11Z

Can you try the 3rd RC of the 0.21.6 version (see the pinned issue) and let us know if it works? Thank you in advance.

Ignacy-s · 2021-07-06T16:08:38Z

Can you try the 3rd RC of the 0.21.6 version (see the pinned issue) and let us know if it works? Thank you in advance.

Tested and works from Poland, both mobile network and family Wi-Fi from local provider.

However, if client is force-closed from app-info, and then VPN is turned on, networking won't work. But if NewPipe was run first without VPN, and then after connecting successfully, trough VPN, it works.

Error log when resetting the app and trying to connect trough VPN, even suggested videos don't work (which worked before when search didn't work). Tried using NordVPN and countries both in EU and North America.
