Age-Gated Videos not playing

[johnth3doe]

This issue was initially referenced in #890 and I cannot seem to be able to reopen the issue myself.

Nevertheless, videos such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9sO2c0Ml34 result in a crash when trying to view them.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

If a maintainer closes an issue only a maintainer can reopen it. Anyway, that issue is an old one, so let's keep this one open.

Can you please edit and fill in the template? Like which version? I tried your link in 0.19.8 and it works. No error. Also, since you say it crashes, paste the crash report in the template as well.

@justanidea You didn't link the video.

[johnth3doe]

Apologies for the late response @opusforlife2 and for not posting according to the guidelines, sincerely.

Firstly, I tried the same video once again since you claimed to be able to view it. As it were this is suddenly the case for me as well, it didn't instantly crash and allowed me to view it.

By that principle I believe that this issue should be closed, that being said, user @justanidea seems to claim this issue is identical to them; therefore I shall ask what the correct etiquette/protocol is in this case?

I shall close the issue for the reason stated above until directed otherwise or due to circumstances (like a possible reemergence)

In conclusion, thank you for your time and consideration. Your swift response is highly appreciated.

[johnth3doe]

In a (possibly) related issue, when initially viewing this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwT6DZCQi9k, I had a crash; but revisiting the video a second time didn't cause any issues.

The log (I remembered this time):
NP Crash Log.txt

Thank you once again for your time and consideration.

[justanidea]

@opusforlife2 bcs its the one provided by @johnth3doe :) Sorry for not clarifying, i thought it would make sense

@johnth3doe i tried this new video and i keep crashing after 4 tries. Did you change anything between your two tries?

[opusforlife2]

@johnth3doe No problem. ✌️

@justanidea Yeah, I didn't realise you were talking about the video crashing specifically, and assumed you were talking about Newpipe crashing.

Since it's still crashing for justanidea, let's keep this open. We now have crash reports to show the devs as well.

[opusforlife2]

@johnth3doe You can directly paste the contents of the crash report here, because Github renders the Markdown properly.

For example, here is the exact text of your crash report pasted below:

Exception

• Content Country: GB

Ah. I notice you got "Could not load decryption code for the Youtube service." in your crash message. I get this sometimes as well. This is caused by minor, temporary network issues, unless I'm mistaken. Everyone gets one of these every once in a while, if a video takes too long to load.

@justanidea @johnth3doe Could you install a debug apk (for example the latest unified ui apk), connect your phone to your PC through USB, open Chrome, go to chrome://inspect, open that debug version of NewPipe on your phone, select that NewPipe instance in Chrome, go to the Network tab, try to reproduce the issue, and once you've successfully reproduced the issue, right-click in Chrome, select "Save as HAR with Content" and send me that HAR? Then we might be able to fix this issue.

[opusforlife2]

Could you try the APK in TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#447?
