[triallax]

@Stypox all your PR links for the extractor point to PRs from NewPipe, not the extractor. Same in #4852.

edit: every video that i click back on, it shows the page twice before the player falls down and a black screen when going from full screen

edit: every video that i click back on, it shows the page twice before the player falls down and a black screen when going from full screen

Saw this as well. Finished a video. Tapped back. It went from the player with the replay button to the thumbnail with red progress indicator. Tapped back again. Same page, without the indicator. Finally, the third tap back minimized the player.

[opusforlife2]

Initiate a gesture such that once the video ends and exits full screen, your finger will not be in the embedded player area.

If the gesture icon (volume/brightness) is visible on screen when the video ends, the icon remains there indefinitely. If you tap the player area again, it gets replaced by the Replay button.

please, don't simplify the options!
remove this!
#4367

why you're deleting the choice of using options!
the option should be workable!
who give you the right to choose for others ???
personally, i, and many others should have the option to not save popup positions!!! btw i used this option many years..

[DI555]

and skipping to java8 won't touch existent min_sdk_19/android4.4 of NP ?
api26 will be only the target_sdk(not the min_sdk), is it right?

upd
yes, all works on my all devices, it seems we still on min_sdk_19! Great!

[DI555]

it's not the dialog when just silently minimize the comment with a bunch of thumbups...
but #4367 it's not improvement , it is just anti-improvement((, for sorrow((

[DI555]

i dunno, may be it's a global...
but on yt stream translation there is no on-screen menu with choosing of video quality, but when you see yt stream by web page - the option to choose video quality exists.

[opusforlife2]

it's not the dialog when just silently minimize the comment with a bunch of thumbups...

@DI555 You don't get to say this after triple posting the same comment, and I can't help notice that it's been 3 hours since I replied to you on the related PR and you haven't said anything there. Is it your intent to just complain or do you want to have a proper discussion?

[DI555]

oh, sorry..., i might posted it to different topics, i may delete others if it's needed!

[opusforlife2]

It is alright. I have minimized them as 'Duplicate'. Now I'm waiting for your reply.

[yuval-herman]

I had a problem when running multiple instances of newpipe that I didn't had before, somehow this version, hijacked the notification from the previous release. I don't know how to reproduce though as it happened only once...

[opusforlife2]

@huckvrni Do you mean #4653?
