Detailed changes: - External players: - Add a message instruction about stream selection; - Add a message when there is no stream available for external players; - Return now HLS, DASH and SmoothStreaming URL contents, in addition to progressive HTTP ones. - Player: - Support DASH, HLS and SmoothStreaming streams for videos, whether they are content URLs or the manifests themselves, in addition to progressive HTTP ones; - Use a custom HttpDataSource to play YouTube contents, based of ExoPlayer's default one, which allows better spoofing of official clients (custom user-agent and headers (depending of the client used), use of range and rn (set dynamically by the DataSource) parameters); - Fetch YouTube progressive contents as DASH streams, like official clients, support fully playback of livestreams which have ended recently and OTF streams; - Use ExoPlayer's default retries count for contents on non-fatal errors (instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE for non-live contents and 5 for live contents). - Download dialog: - Add message about support of progressive HTTP streams only for downloading; - Remove several duplicated code and update relevant usages; - Support downloading of contents with an unknown media format. - ListHelper: - Catch NumberFormatException when trying to compare two video streams between them. - Tests: - Update ListHelperTest and StreamItemAdapterTest to fix breaking changes in the extractor. - Other places: - Fixes deprecation of changes made in the extractor; - Improve some code related to the files changed. - Issues fixed and/or improved with the changes: - Seeking of PeerTube HLS streams (the duration shown was the one from the stream duration and not the one parsed, incomplete because HLS streams are fragmented MP4s with multiple sidx boxes, for which seeking is not supported by ExoPlayer) (the app now uses the HLS manifest returned for each quality, in the master playlist (not fetched and computed by the extractor)); - Crash when loading PeerTube streams with a separated audio; - Lack of some streams on some YouTube videos (OTF streams); - Loading times of YouTube streams, after a quality change or a playback start; - View count of YouTube ended livestreams interpreted as watching count (this type of streams is not interpreted anymore as livestreams); - Watchable time of YouTube ended livestreams; - Playback of SoundCloud HLS-only tracks (which cannot be downloaded anymore because the workaround which was used is being removed by SoundCloud, so it has been removed from the extractor). |

Installation and updates
You can install NewPipe using one of the following methods:
- Add our custom repo to F-Droid and install it from there. The instructions are here: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
- Download the APK from GitHub Releases and install it.
- Update via F-Droid. This is the slowest method of getting updates, as F-Droid must recognize changes, build the APK itself, sign it, then push the update to users.
- Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.
We recommend method 1 for most users. APKs installed using method 1 or 2 are compatible with each other, but not with those installed using method 3. This is due to the same signing key (ours) being used for 1 and 2, but a different signing key (F-Droid's) being used for 3. Building a debug APK using method 4 excludes a key entirely. Signing keys help ensure that a user isn't tricked into installing a malicious update to an app.
In the meanwhile, if you want to switch sources for some reason (e.g. NewPipe's core functionality breaks and F-Droid doesn't have the latest update yet), we recommend following this procedure:
- Back up your data via Settings > Content > Export Database so you keep your history, subscriptions, and playlists
- Uninstall NewPipe
- Download the APK from the new source and install it
- Import the data from step 1 via Settings > Content > Import Database
