NewPipe 0.21.6 released: Deleted channels, SAF (for real!) and hashtags!
13 Jul 2021, by Opusforlife & Poolitzer
Today brings you 0.21.6, and hopefully much joy. We made slight improvements to the UI of our app: You now get notified about deleted channels upon opening them, or when refreshing your feed, and you can instantly search hashtags given in video descriptions. NewPipe also properly supports the Storage Access Framework, which allows you to save your downloads to an external storage medium (such as an SD Card) if you so desire!
NewPipe 0.21.4 released: Details, details, I need more details!
08 Jun 2021, by Opusforlife & Poolitzer
“What?”, you exclaim. “A new update? And it’s not even a hotfix? But we had the last update just a few days ago!”
Well, deal with it. B)
(For the millenials, B) is the cool sunglasses emoji that your parents used in the pre-Unicode era.)
Don’t get used to it, though. This is still a volunteer project being done in everyone’s free time.
This indeed isn’t a hotfix. And it isn’t even a minor update! We actually bring you another main user-facing feature: content metadata! Now you can view more information about a video in the Description tab, such as its category, tags, license and so on. If that is not enough for you, the broken like count for YouTube comments has been fixed. Moreover, the channel description doesn’t lose words between the first and second line anymore. Read on to find out more details. Eh? Eh? Anyone? No? Okay. (Tough crowd.)
NewPipe 0.21.3 released: Install NewPipe on your SD card!
28 May 2021, by Opusforlife & Poolitzer
You want another update? We have another update. Welcome to version 0.21.3, where nothing extraordinarily exciting happened. But hey, you can move NewPipe to your SD card now, and you get some quality of life changes as well as bug fixes, which is also nice, isn’t it? So take a relaxing cup of tea and read through this blog post about relaxing changes. Relax. Deep breaths. Hot tea. And let’s guide you through the changes.
NewPipe bids farewell to freenode, and can now be found on Libera.Chat
27 May 2021, by Team NewPipe
We have provided more details below, but if you do not need/care about this or already know what this is about, here is a TL;DR: NewPipe has an active IRC channel where developers and users chat and ask/answer questions. This channel has been moved from freenode to the brand new Libera.Chat network. We no longer provide a channel on freenode, and urge you to leave that network as soon as possible.
This is the new address of the official NewPipe IRC channel: #newpipe:libera.chat
You can join using your IRC client, their hosted web app or Matrix.
