You are not using the real NewPipe but Tubular, please only report bugs for the NewPipe app on the NewPipe app repository. Anyway:

• I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my information to.

Duplicate of #11139. Please search (better, with different keywords?) for duplicates, especially pinned ones, the next time you want to open an issue. Thank you.
