Additional information

No response

[somos61]

Confirm, rotating screen to landscape while playing video fails with error. Also trying to go to fullscreen from popup fails.
Android 7.0

[stevep99]

Confirmed here too, version 0.24.1, with an Android 6.0 device.
All videos crash when played in full screen landscape mode. Works OK as portrait or popup.

(NB also: this issue was not present in 0.23.2.)

[rubbernglue]

I have this exact same problem, still I have not tried 0.24.1 yet though because you still confirms the problem hanging on from 0.24.0. I use this mainly on my Philips Android TV and if I try to make it full screen in any way the app crashes.
Imagewise it works well on 0.23.3, however other issues have emerged with that version.

[mart-hill]

I can confirm that on the Philips 50PUS8546 AndroidTV, updated - since NewPipe 0.24 version, it's impossible to play anything on full screen (by selecting that square on the bottom right corner). I can only view the content in half-screen, squeezed.

i have made my video of error:

As well the problem persists for:

• going to fullscreen from popup

fs_err_cnv.mp4

• going to background from mini/popup

bg_err_cnv.mp4

Crash logs is the same as above

[mart-hill]

I'll have to check, if I'm able to pick up the crash log from the program on this dreary AndroidTV - this OS sucks more and more with every iteration (I can't even open HTTP/HTTPS links in it). :)
This crash occurs no matter the video format I choose, be it WebM 2160p, or MP4 (probably AVC codec) 1080p. I hope it's not dependent on SoC, in my case (probably) MT5887 with Mali-G51 M4 GPU.

Could you guys try #9396 (comment)?

[somos61]

Could you guys try #9396 (comment)?

Seems like in my case clearing app data/cache, whatever, is not working. Tried also fresh install, still there. As well the problem persists the same for app-debug channel tabs variant of NewPipe at #9182

[mart-hill]

Removing that AndroidTV label means this app is not supposed to be run on those devices, right? Cause the issue persists, no matter if I wipe the appdata or not.

[opusforlife2]

The label was added by mistake because some comments were from TV users. But this issue seems common to mobile and TV.

The app is intended to work on TVs, though it is not as well-supported.

[mart-hill]

Thanks a lot!
For now I'll wait patiently - the normal YT app is practically unusable on AndroidTV OS (ads destroyed the comfort of using it completely), and it's not possible to enable HTTPS filtering anymore with AdGuard on this OS. It's not even opening HTTPS links in standard browser (at least on Philips 50PUS8546). NewPipe is the one of the rarest gems out there. 🥇

[chefexperte]

I'm having a similar issue on Android 13.

The error occurs when rotating the view (for me it crashes when rotating from fullscreen to normal) or changing the resolution of the playback. Sometimes it happens when a video ends as well, and in a few cases also just randomly during playback.

My crash log is the following:

Same here: xiaomi TV stick, android TV 11, cant play full screen. If i try, after that nothing will play, even if not full screen. Restart of the tv stick is needed to try again

[g1t3m]

[ Crash on Rotation (and startup initially) #216 ]
(polymorphicshade#216)
Search for a video (likely optional)
Click on a video
Rotate the screen quickly while the video is buffering or click the fullscreen icon on the video
Expected: Video plays in landscape mode
Actual: App crashes and resets to initial Newpipe screen.

The above issue occurs even in the normal release of NewPipe.

The crash occurred with the "start main player in full screen" setting turned off and my phone's auto rotate setting turned off.

Phone: Google Pixel 6 Pro
OS: GrapheneOS, Android 13
Newpipe Version: 0.24.1
App Fork: Sponsorblock

I can attest to this issue of Newpipe crashing whenever I expand the video to fullscreen when pressing the fullscreen button. It doesn't happen on all videos, but once in a while.
