Newpipe: Here we go again. YouTube updated something and broke newpipe

[razorshiv]

Sometime this afternoon, newpipe started crashing while trying to load or play videos.

The error is "Could not parse decrypt function."

Schabi we need you!!! :)

[megamaiku]

yep, seem to be happening for most videos, but not all. It's happening for music I want to listen to 😢

Version: 0.14.2

[dotvirus]

Can confirm, crash happening on every single video I tried

[sid2040]

Yes crashing. Saying couldn't decrypt video url signature

[aposuit]

Same error.

So... Seems like I'm not alone. Here is my crash log:

[AnotherLife]

Yeah and I can't even long-press and play the videos on popup or background :(

Haaaalp!!

[atlanntiss]

Yes, this actually is not working for me too.

[The-Demon-Prosecutor]

I would like to point out that this is an issue with NewPipeExtractor and not NewPipe. I have made an issue on NewPipeExtractor already. Hence, it would be appreciated if we move to #133.

[Disqu3-mirOir-qt]

same too error

[dotvirus]

Update: It's working for me now.

[AnotherLife]

Oh my god, I tried a video and it works now. Hah, what the heck?

[azmarco]

It means youtube just need to change a decrypt method and newpipe just cease to work?

[ed828a]

I have the same problem. Could newpipe fix this "Could not parse decrypt function."?

[dotvirus]

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/133 Seems to be fixed

[AnotherLife]

Nice, so I guess there will be a new release later?

[theScrabi]

See #2012

[SaLtYdOgZ]

Funny. As is my custom, I look before I leap in regards to updates. I installed newpipe in April (so I could listen to youtube music in my car while keeping my screen turned off to not drain the battery) so I was on my initial version installed in April as the latest release. I tried it right before I upgraded and had no issues. So whatever version was available as current in April was working as of about 2 hours ago. Now, just a guru crash.

[theScrabi]

update is out.
