Checklist

• I am able to reproduce the bug with the latest version.
• I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my information to.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem isn't listed.

Affected version

v0.24.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

This issue randomly occurs for me.
Steps to reproduce:

1. Open and play a Youtube video or a few Youtube videos
2. Watch videos until the popup occurs
3. Popup occurs again a few seconds after closing it with the wait button and keeps occurring every time it is closed by the wait button

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is for the popup to show up when the app is actually unresponsive. The app is fully responsive right before the popup shows up and whenever I close the popup the app is still fully responsive after.

Actual behavior

The "Newpipe isn't responding" keeps appearing randomly whenever I am watching Youtube videos with Newpipe. I haven't found anyway to reliable reproduce the issue but it occurs randomly for me whenever I am just watching Youtube videos.

I cleared the app cache and re-imported my Newpipe database file but the issue is still occurring for me.

If the database is not imported after clearing data does the problem still persist?

[32423d]

I tried again by clearing the app cache and not re-importing the Newpipe database file but the issue still occurred after watching some videos right after.

Same for me. I also tried remove app completely and install again. Same result.

I was experiencing this bug, too. Most frequently. Upon the 'close/wait' message, I tapped 'report via email' already dozens of times. Clearing the cache had no effect. This bug persisted already since the last two updates of the app. Re-installing helped. Android 9, Sony xz1c.

Did anyone of you actually try to uninstall/reinstall?

Yes, I even got the same thing on a completely fresh install without any imported settings when trying out the pre 0.24.1 release.
