Affected version

0.23.0

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. A subscribed channel gets terminated for some reason, but I don't want to unsubscribe for a while hoping that the channel will return in the future.
2. Refresh the feed.
3. After feed refresh the "Error loading feed" message appears and you need to choose Cancel or Unsubscribe. It's a normal behavior, I can see there is some problem with one of my subscribed channels.
4. I tap on Cancel for the reason I mentioned before.
5. Start to play a video, and rotate the screen from portrait to landscape.
6. The "Error loading feed" message reappears while there wasn't any newly requested feed refresh.
7. This message always reappears when rotating the screen from portrait to landscape and vice versa.

Expected behavior

After tapping Cancel, do not show this error message until the next manual feed refresh.

Actual behavior

This error message always shows up after rotating the screen. After closing the app (by removing it from tasks) and reopening it solves the problem until the next feed refresh.

This is still a major issue, and most of the time there is nothing wrong with the channel that the message is about. It just failed to load videos, and it loads some successfully on the next refresh.

Every time this message appears is another opportunity for me to accidentally unsubscribe from a channel by tapping the wrong part of the screen, maybe while not even looking at it.

Fixing the issue is apparently very difficult given how old it is, but it would be nice to at least be able to disable the message from the settings menu.
