This is a creative commons video and i would like to open it from vlc and make it available offline. How would i do it in libretube?

Since few days I'm struggling to play videos correctly, I've changed the instance... But today I cannot play anything, it juste load for 1 second and then turn the playback off... But I cannot turn it back on, if you have an explanation... Thx!

Galaxy Tab A7, SM-2500.. Please someone fix this for me, this is the best way to use YouTube.. Litterally better and faster than the actual YouTube app itself.

As I said, when trying to open a downloaded video the app crashes immediately with the following log:

I already tried to reinstall the app from scratch, clean the cache, download the videos without using proxy, change instance and download them from another (although I think all downloads are directly from Youtube anyway) and still nothing helps, it always crashes the same. Investigating a little in the Libretube Github I didn't find anyone else with a similar problem (or I didn't see it), but until recently I started to have this problem that I didn't have before.

From the Matrix group chat:

"Please disable HLS again to avoid rate limiting the public instances unnecessarily. The default (DASH) works fine again now on all updated instances and additionally is much faster than HLS. The disable proxy option will require changes at LibreTube's side and won't be functional again before the next update."

Whenever I try to export my playlist from LibreTube, it crashes the app and on entry gives an error message. Please give me any idea on how to export my playlist?

If videos no longer load on LibreTube for you either, as commented in the issue on GitHub, which worked in my case, enabling the use of HSL in the settings solved the problem and the videos load.

Settings > Audio and video > Use HLS: ON

Watching videos has basically become impossible. Not even at 144p, not even just the audio loads more than 20 seconds and then stops every 2-3 seconds. I'm really not sure what causes it.
Am I using the wrong instance?
Is Google interfering?
Is my phone or the app not working correctly?
Is my ISP messing with me?

Any tips would be much appreciated

edit: Might have overreacted there a bit. Videos load and run fine in my mobile browser on any network so I doubt it's the instance nor my ISP.

Still leave Google or the app as possible reasons. 🤔

LibreTube 0.20.0 has been release, but there is no changelog on https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/releases

Is this normal?

Update: it's a bug from GitHub https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/issues/5183#issuecomment-1816893237

0.20.0 Changelog: https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/releases/tag/v0.20.0

Doesn't matter what I do, which instance I'm on, Android app crashes every time I start a video. I've reinstalled several times, didn't solve anything. Clean install - pick an instance - start random video - crash. What do? I left NewPipe SponsorBlock for LT because NP started crashing all the time...

ETA: referringtoboth 0.17.1 and 0.18.1
