Please give further information or we will close this ticket.
Small speculation, but it could be referring to constant UX crashes when attempting to load some videos. I have encountered them occasionally.
Like @TobiGr said, this Issue needs more contextual information for it to be kept open.
It work perfectly after 15s times reopen app. At the first time I install newpipe, after play any video (background played) it not respone. Can not to roll or tap, even close, only close in app setting.
Now it work fine, but the Distance between title, author, like counter is unclear to see.
Anyway it juat fine for me, hope it help for next update
And it oftenly crashed. For example if you open video then change to another mode popup or background it goes crashed. I'm on Oreo J7 Prime.
