Android 11 Startup loop. Not working in upstream as well.

[kubo6472]

Screen recording the bug caused this issue to reset.
I tested the original app. Still the same thing.

here's what happens when I click on any YouTube link in other apps and newpipe preunified is the default app to open. As per beginning this must be device specific.
I use only preunified, so I'd love if the fix I'm about to propose to upstream will be backported. I'll try my best testing and making some PR from the code.

What is your phone by any chance?

Blackberry keyone, my samsung galaxy tab a 10.5 on android 11 does it too. 0.21.0 works fine on both.

[kubo6472]

Tested, that it happened between the 0.21.0 and .1 and contrary to the main app, the newest extractor doesn't fix the issue. For now I'm sticking to using the old extractor.

@kubo6472 Do you know by chance which of the commits in #6053 fixed this? Then i can try to cherry pick it here

[XiangRongLin]

@kubo6472 Can you test this?

app-release.zip

Just gave it a whirl on the keyone and it still spazzes out like OP's vid when clicking on a yt link.

Welp, it would have made sense to actually look at the logs and go from there, since i have android 11 too...

[XiangRongLin]

Fixed with 526bd59 and caaceb9

[SpazMahTazz]

Hate to be a downer, but I still get this issue on v0.21.2.1 with the keyone.

[XiangRongLin]

Hmm...

Im pretty sure it's occuring because of the the ErrorInfo change to use the Parcelize annotation. While displaying the error screen, it throws a new one, which causes the loop.
I pretty sure it's this because there was the same issue in the main repo, which i thought was was solved by the commit i cherry picked.

[SpazMahTazz]

Well if you need me to do any testing just let me know. That's about all I can do.

I feel like i either uploaded the wrong app or generated it from old sources.

[SpazMahTazz]

I can open YouTube links with that apk, thanks!
