Kitkat v0.26.1-2.1.9 test version

[evermind-zz]

With Release v0.26.1-2.1.9 there is a Kitkat flavor that is based on current code v0.26.1 NewPipe code.

This is only a test version. I could not really test it on hardware. It only was tested on emulator.
Therefore it will not migrate any data from previous installs. It installs in parallel to any BraveNewPipe installation.
This will change if I get feedback that it is working more or less properly.

All problems please enter here in this bug entry or if it is too big create a extra bug entry.

Please be more specific. I can import subscription and I can fetch the feed. What hardware/software platform are you running?

This was the only exception in the error log.

Nothing works, there is no connection to Youtube possible. Trending is not loading, videos shared to the app don't play. Cleared data. Newly installed BraveNewPipe 0.26.1-2.1.8 on an Android 13 Samsung device.

Thank you. I did overlook this one. Next release should work!

Greetings. 🙋
Icons appearing black when using dark or black theme making them barely noticeable:

Also, 'Brightness', 'Volume', 'Pause' and 'Play' icons display in very low resolution on fullscreen.

Thats all I have for now.
I'll keep testing.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this has been the only video I couldn't play so far, other than that it's been fine.

I've tested this on [Brave]NewPipe (non-kitkat) version and could not play it either.
