Release 0.19.4 - download video test.

Error: The destination folder can not be created
Mi 9, Android 10

[Stypox]

@Abdel-ilah is this a new issue? Also, since you are on Android 10 you should enable the "Use SAF" setting in Download, I'm not sure if the old & deprecated method works on the newest Android.

[wb9688]

@Stypox: On newer versions, SAF is only necessary for external storage (i.e. SD cards, or e.g. USB sticks you attach through OTG). On even newer versions, SAF doesn't allow giving an app permission to read /sdcard/ (which to be clear is your internal storage) directly, but only subdirectories. ^{Also, the way we tell the system to recognize a download as media is deprecated now.}

I faced this issue in the previous version when i upgraded to 29 API level (Android 10) and resolved after down to 28 API

The brightness and volume gesture icons have become hilariously tiny, like baby versions of themselves.

[Stypox]

Is this ok @opusforlife2 @HugeFrog24 ?

[opusforlife2]

@Stypox Yup.

@opusforlife2 @HugeFrog24 here is RC2: app-debug_RC2.zip

[vrhikaru]

all Youtube video open failed.

Caused by: org.schabi.newpipe.extractor.utils.Parser$RegexException: failed to find pattern ";([A-Za-z0-9_$]{2})...( inside of var mea=function(a){a=a.split("");var b=[function(c,d){d=(d%c.length+c.length)%c.length;c.splice(d,1)};"

[wb9688]

@vrhikaru: Do you have the same issue with https://wb9688.stackstorage.com/s/bekYrunPaZ7Yff4? If so, could you manually give it storage permission in Android's settings and give me the initialAjax*.json it outputs in /sdcard/?

[tuxayo]

No issues on RC2 after a quick test. 🎉 Thanks for your work all.

[TobiGr]

I reverted the regex function updates which might have caused @vrhikaru's problem. No new RC, I'll release the update shortly.
