@opusforlife2 Why did you close the issue? The problem exists.

You have attached the label "duplicate". Which issue is this a duplicate of? I have not found one.

[opusforlife2]

Paste your issue title into the issue search bar and see.

[marek22k]

@opusforlife2 As I said, I didn't find anything there that corresponded to my issue and was created recently. Could you name a specific issue? If not, please open this one again.

[opusforlife2]

Ah. My bad, sorry. It's on the Extractor repo. Since we monitor both repos simultaneously things get muddled. I'll sticky this because everyone is reporting this error.

[joshuabengal]

I see this says "fixed in code", can you share what version fixes it? I have the latest version available for download and the error is still persisting. Thanks.

[opusforlife2]

See the linked PR.

I see this says "fixed in code", can you share what version fixes it? I have the latest version available for download and the error is still persisting. Thanks.

It means that the error is known and code has been created to fix it.
The code still needs to be reviewed and a new version of NewPipe needs to be released so that the bug is finally fixed for the user.

A fork of Newpipe, PipePipe (but does not have all the features of NewPipe), has already fixed the bug in the current version.
