Me too

Same thing, tried with and without vpn, on several different connections (LTE, 5G, WiFi, WiFi 6). Some videos can play but seems very random and 99% just crash with "network error"

It's an issue caused by Google as they changed one of their JavaScript and NewPipe is working on fixing it - TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#11255. Once it's fixed I believe the dev here will port the fix to Tubular.

Me too. I always get that error and whenever I tap another video, NewPipe just crashes. Newpipe gets this error frequently for the past few days, on mobile data and Wi-Fi, especially mobile data. It's so annoying.

Works for live streams though.

Fix is in Newpipe: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1191
