TL;DR from their(newpipe's) reddit:
Youtube did an update that added an additonal parameter to the calls, allegedly as an anti-bot tactic.

Because of how it worked, it broke all of the various frontends, but Invidious based access still worked.

Anticorp OP ,

Thanks

They’ve decided to step up the arms race because they’ve hit peak daily user count and the only thing they can promise to the board is force increasing premium memberships. I take it channel “memberships” are also not hitting the numbers they would like and they haven’t destroyed Nebula or Patreon as they’d hoped.

Anticorp OP ,

I will never pay for YouTube. The most they’d do is force me to stop using it. I’d be fine using the mobile site, but they’ve gone and intentionally broke that too. I mean, it works, but it’s buggy as shit.

One thing about capitalism: companies are never done extracting higher profits. Doesn’t matter if users pay for YouTube or whatever, Google will want to increase profits next year anyway.

It’s working great again.

I reinstalled a few times the first couple days, but I must have done it just before the fix came out two days ago.

You can export your history and then import it after the reinstall.

Anticorp OP ,

Oh good call-out about the history

I really recommend Revanced or Revanced Extended instead.

As it uses the normal YouTube client but patched.

Just information for anyone who’s interested, use whatever works for you

Unfortunately proprietary and filled with Google trackers (not Revanced is proprietary, but it uses the proprietary YouTube app)

I’ve had this problem too but the latest upgrade just fixed it. And yeah, I think it was Google’s doing and it’s not the first time, it’s a constant arm’s race between them and Newpipe programmers. And Ublock programmers. And Invidious and Piped programmers etc…

Anticorp OP ,

It’s not showing an update. Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for the reply.

Kattiydid ,

I did that yesterday, didn’t fix it. I was able to got the update from Newpipe directly today but my Boo had it three days ago, he said he got it from GitHub? No idea how to do that but maybe worth a looksy.

Anticorp OP ,

Thanks

They posted a release candidate that fixed the issue to Github first, then I picked it up from their site several days ago.
