v4.1.3

[InfinityLoop1308]

YouTube is increasing its efforts to block third-party clients, especially for anonymous access, so we have had to update frequently recently to address all the issues that arise.

We understand that frequent updates can be tiring, so starting from version 4.1.3, we will set a 3-7 day pre-release period for each new version. In the update settings, you can choose whether to check for pre-releases at the same time.

We believe we will eventually win this fight with YouTube. Thank you for your support!

Bug Fixes

• Slow loading speed start from 4.1.0 (YouTube)
• Random fail when loading videos (YouTube)
• Missing segment, live chat(YouTube)
• Player error after switching network (YouTube)

4.1.0 broke all the things so badly for me, so I couldn't watch anything. I had to downgrade back to 4.0.2.

It could be something with my proxy/dns resolver setup, as yt is not directly accessible from my network. (At the same time web version was working fine) Never bothered to properly test and write an issue to the newer version anyway. Just downgraded and disabled the upates reminder.

For this date, my current v4.0.2 is the one, I've had the least problems with.

Now I've just checked for updates maually and see, that the development had never been paused. So... well... Backing up all my settings+history and finally updating to the latest version.

Double this one.
In v4.1.3 UI laggs in fullscreen mode ~1 video out of 4. It happens more often, if you:

1. strart watching from the beginning of the video (not something, that you dropped before and now return to watch till the end)
2. enter fullscreen before the video loads
3. use faster playback speed and "skip silence" option

Had to rollback to v4.0.2

Android 11

@phlaster @aloi5862 Thank you for the report. The issue has been identified and some findings have been made, but further evidence is still required to confirm the core problem.
Can you test if disable comments solves the problem? It can be disabled in Setting > Content > Show comments

I believe this is fixed in the latest debug build. See #792 .

Something is happening that prevents the update to latest notification from popping. Then i checked for update manually from within the app, and it still doesn't detect the latest version.

As for the issues that sometimes happen so could be YouTube or something else doing something weird to the app requests. I doubt there is a way to confirm it even with the debug build unless there are more thoughtful paths for the debugger to explore. Not mentioned in the v4.2.0 bug fixes or the latest bug fixes.

thanks for the frequent releases, it helps in assessing and tracking the improvements or regressions. Before installing or executing the code on a already overloaded by Google app device.

Aside: The most useless, most unruly and troubling official app is the Google app.

Thanks, let me know if you need help with the roadmap or fighting Youtube.
