Newpipe: Add new labels to better classify issues

Created on 23 Jun 2019  路  10Comments  路  Source: TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

After #2411 I took care of the first 5 pages of issues and labelled them. But I think some new labels should be added, to better organize issues and make them more accessible:

  • gui for GUI related issues (e.g. the text is too big, red color is too bright, #1170, ...)
  • downloader for issues with downloading videos
  • more-info-needed for issues that are lacking useful information, and the author has not yet updated the issue after he has been asked to (e.g. #2443)
  • pr-open for issues that will be fixed by a pending pull request, as suggested by justanidea

If you have any other suggestion for labels write it in this thread.

Thanks :-)

Maybe "waiting for merge" :)

  • meta for issues discussing NewPipe policy and the like (this issue is an example of this)

  • youtube, soundcloud, mediaccc for issues that are specific to only those services. I don't really think this one is that good an idea however, as it would lead to a lot of clutter and unnecessary comments asking for a youtube label to be added to an issue

I also think the number of labels added should be kept to a point where they are not too specific. It's best to encourage good titles for topics.

@TobiGr @theScrabi bringing this to your attention in case you didn't see it. Feel free to close the issue if you don't think this is a good idea :-)

@Stypox It's a good idea. Labels like downloader or GUI are important to find related tickets. I had the same idea some time ago, but didn't have time to add the labels to that many tickets, because reviewing and testing PRs is more important. Feel free to do it.
Btw. I might be a bit slow in responding to mentions because I have a bunch of exams to write atm.

@TobiGr I don't have the permission to do that... I don't see the "New label" button.
Could you please do that, or give me permission (if possible)? Take as much time as you want, and good luck with your exams :-)

I created the labels. It seems like I can only give you permission to create labels while granting you a bunch of other permissions, too. In case you need some more labels or anything else, feel free to ask.

Ok, thank you :-)

I think another label should be added:

  • multiservice: for issues with the multiservice option and new service proposals (e.g. #1137 #1134 #1141 #1166)

I think the "stale" bot was removed after #1921, since I haven't seen any "stale"d issue after 4 December 2018. But with the removal of the bot, I think the stale label should be removed, too. It doesn't add anything to issue classification and it just uses up space.

@TobiGr hope not to bother you :-)

@Stypox Thanks for cleaning up the bug tracker and closing more than 130 tickets! I removed the stale label and added one for multiservice. Once we support more services, we might want to think about categorizing labels like
service: youtube, service: soundcloud etc.

Mmh I agree. I had to travel for 8h with nothing to do, so I decided to do this :-D
