Steps to reproduce the bug

Hi Team,

I noticed an issue where I can only scroll through a limited number of videos in a channel’s video list. This prevents access to older videos, particularly for channels with large libraries.

This feels like it might be an unintentional limitation or a bug.

Could this be related to data fetching or caching? I’d really appreciate it if this could be looked into.

Thank you for your time and hard work!

Expected behavior

When viewing a channel's video list, I should be able to scroll through all the videos, from the newest to the oldest, without any limit. The app should load more videos as I scroll.

Actual behavior

The app limits scrolling in a channel's video list to only a certain number of videos (approximately 150, sometimes 300, sometimes less). Older videos are inaccessible, especially if there are over 1k videos. There is just no way to load more content.

Can confirm on two devices (grapheneos and android 13), 0.27.4 from fdroid just stops loading older videos in channel's video list when scrolling down at seemingly random point, while 0.27.2 and perhaps 0.27.3 worked fine.

Restarting newpipe and scrolling again stops at another random point in video list

I can confirm that this error is appearing on my Galaxy A11 (Android 12) at this very moment as I comment on this post.
