Happy New Year!

The end of a year is always a good time to reflect on the past and take a look into the future. That's what we did in this blog post:

https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/announcement/State-of-the-Pipe-2023/

We are talking about the most important changes that happened in 2023, layout NewPipe's roadmap for the coming year, and explain why I am going to stop working on NewPipe in 2024.

NewPipe is looking for more testers, community managers, developers and maintainers. If you want to get involved, get in touch with us!

We have just published the blog post summarizing the changes of the recently published NewPipe versions 0.26.0 and 0.26.1:

We're currently conducting QA and testing for the next update. This might take a while to ensure no regressions were introduced. We are awaiting a few more bug fix PRs, too. Want to help? Go to https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe-nightly/releases and install the latest nightly build🚀

We try to get the apps which blatantly violate our license removed from the app stores quickly to prevent damages to potential users.

I guess that the vast majority of the fediverse audience is already using one of the official ways to get NewPipe. Nevertheless, here is the reminder to get NewPipe from one of these sources:

NewPipe F-Droid repo: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
Official F-Droid repo with reproducible builds
GitHub: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/

⚠️ I have to - due to recent events - spread awareness to download #NewPipe only from official sources.⚠️

Scammers try to make money of NewPipe by uploading illegally modified copies of NewPipe to multiple app stores, including Google Play and Apple's App store.
The official NewPipe app does not contain ads, and it does not offer a subscription to unlock features or block ads. Once you've paid those people, your money is likely gone.

We cannot refund money that we did not collect.

We NewPipe maintainers were distracted from working on NewPipe by several things in the last months.

For that reason I am more than happy to announce the release of #NewPipe 0.25.2 🎉

🐛 We fixed some issues with YouTube caused by changes on their side.
🆕 If a video comes with multiple audio tracks like translations into other languages, you can now choose which audio track to use from within the player. You can also select a descriptive audio track by default in case you need it.
