What is it?
refactorbranchDescription of the changes in your PR
Adds URL to #11139 to the SignInConfirmNotBotException error message that displays info about YouTube banning IP.
This is to make it clear to users that this is not a bug on NewPipe's side and thus they should not open a new issue about it.
ErrorMessage.getStringtoErrorMessage.getText: it now usesgetTextand returnsCharSequenceinstead of string in order to preserve text styling (i.e. URLs)Before/After Screenshots/Screen Record
Error Panel (apologies for light mode flashbang I just used default emulator settings 🙏 )
Error Activity
APK testing
The APK can be found by going to the "Checks" tab below the title. On the left pane, click on "CI", scroll down to "artifacts" and click "app" to download the zip file which contains the debug APK of this PR. You can find more info and a video demonstration on this wiki page.
To verify that this works, you can throw a
SignInConfirmNotBotExceptioninYouTubeStreamerExtractor.onFetchPage, or if you have VPN switch to a region that youtube has banned.Then load a YT video and verify that the link in the error message is clickable.
