NewPipe is turning 10 :O
21 Oct 2025, by @theScrabi and @Poolitzer
Guess what?
NewPipe just turned 10 this month last month! Time just flew by.
In one moment you hit “new project”, and in the next there is a whole association, a group of maintainers, an uncountable amount of contributors, and millions of users!1
This is amazing. Last time we wrote about an important birthday, NewPipe had just turned five years old. Now it’s yet another five years later, and we still stand on the ground with both feet, running forward like there is no other direction!
NewPipe is 10 years old \o/, a double-digit digits number. Just… let that settle in for a moment.

NewPipe 0.27.6 released, state of the rewrite, state of the team
16 Feb 2025, by @AudricV and @Stypox
TLDR: NewPipe 0.27.6 fixes the YouTube issues by performing the integrity checks now required by Google; NewPipe is being refactored heavily on the refactor branch and you can help and provide feedback on a nightly version; NewPipe will soon have a new completely rewritten player; the NewPipe team is struggling to keep up with the project’s demands due to dwindling free time of its members.
