Maybe the same problem.
After starting a video or background player my phone often stucks in a phone-locked loop, where i'm not able to enter my lock pin within time and it is not possible to kill NewPipe. The only two possibilities are to wait for the track has finished or to restart the phone.

Sadly 0.19.8 aren't able to encypt links anymore but until that was it was working without issues.

Is this consistent, i.e. always reproducible? This might contain an explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25317659/how-to-fix-android-app-remoteserviceexception-bad-notification-posted-from-pac#26024747

Not sure if it's the same problem but I keep getting this error when trying to open videos:

@Dakkaron Update.

I've checked F-Droid daily since that bug first occured, but so far there is no new version...

Dakkaron picture Dakkaron on 2 Nov 2020

You'll have to wait. Or you can use our custom repo linked on the website.

opusforlife2 picture opusforlife2 on 2 Nov 2020

@Dakkaron You can also add NewPipe F-Droid repository to your fdroid client(I use Foxy Droid) to receive updates even faster. Just add the following link to repositories in fdroid client. UPDATED Version will be shown.
https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo/
Take Help from

Thanks for the tip! Though that repo doesn't seem to be responding to HTTP requests for me. Any tips?

@inducer The website server is down right now, including the repo.

@LeirbagGab Update.

opusforlife2 picture opusforlife2 on 9 Nov 2020

@opusforlife2 any link to the latest apk? I only see my version on the website...

LeirbagGab picture LeirbagGab on 9 Nov 2020

Which website? Latest APK can be found on the Github Releases page, or from our custom F-Droid repo. Read https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#updates

Apparently this seems to be caused by a bug in the NotificationCompat implementation, as it can't originate from NewPipe's code (according to SO this exception is thrown when some forbidden views are used inside the notification, but we have no control over those, only the library has) unless we messed up something really badly (and in that case it should happen on any phone). Maybe it was fixed by the dependency update PR, #4768, could you test it @surrodox2001 ? I'm linking it for now, as to not forget, it can always be de-linked
