@PAFR2003 : when logging an issue here, the checklist asks you:

"I am not able to reproduce the bug with the latest version of vanilla NewPipe"

You said:

"The latest version 0.28.4, it also doesn't work in PipePipe and NewPipe"

So it's not an issue unique to Tubular, so shouldn't be logged here.

I'd suggest as you're using Linux on your device, maybe report the issue there first, as it could be a driver issue. You might need to download a new package, or upgrade the kernel.

Failing that, log it with NewPipe, as PipePipe and Tubular are both "forks" of NewPipe, so the issue would need to be fixed there first -- assuming it is an issue with the app though, and not your own device. I assume you have tried on both cellular (mobile) data and Wi-Fi and have the same issue on both?

@asandikci - could this ticket be closed, given the issue also occurs in NewPipe, so isn't an issue unique to Tubular?
