TeamNewPipe/NewPipe v0.26.0

on GitHub

This version also includes the changes from NewPipe Extractor v0.23.0 and v0.23.1, which fix the recurring "Could not get like count" error on YouTube streams.

New

• Access more content provided by channels which is grouped in different tabs (TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1082 #9182 #10645 #10670 #10671 #10673). The content of the channel tabs can vary by service:

  • YouTube: videos, shorts, live, playlists, about
    • Note that YouTube does not provide upload date and duration for shorts, so they won't show up in the feed
  • PeerTube: videos, playlists, channels (for accounts), about
  • SoundCloud: tracks, playlists, albums, about
  • Bandcamp: albums, tracks, about
  • media.ccc.de: videos, about

• Allow selecting image quality among multiple images #10062 #10482
  NewPipe supports selecting the image quality among multiple image versions. This comes with three different presets which can be selected from within the settings (low, medium and high quality). This is most noticeable in the recently introduced card style for stream lists which is now able to show thumbnails in higher resolutions. Some services (e.g. YouTube) do not always provide the highest quality thumbnails for those lists.
