Just tested the video and as of six minutes in, no issues in NewPipe 0.28.2.

Unless the OP can give a particular time the video always fails at, I'd suggest given their GitHub account was created just four hours ago, and this video is about investing and trading, it's likely just being advertised here, rather than there being any actual issue.

@AudricV maybe close?
