Generate Additional Debugging Info

The developers sometimes need additional info about your problem, because they cannot reproduce it. This happens for example when a problem is restricted to certain countries or network / proxy settings causing the devs to get different responses from e.g. YouTube's servers than you.

You'll be asked by a developer to generate additional info and send it to a dev's email address. Please do not post the additional info on GitHub, because it might contain sensitive information about your NewPipe usage.

Generate a HAR

A HAR contains the network traffic you caused while using NewPipe. This information is not logged when using the normal NewPipe version. To get this info, you'll need to install a debug version of NewPipe.

  1. Enable USB debugging.
  2. Connect your phone to your PC through USB
  3. Open Chrome, type chrome://inspect into the address bar
  4. Open that debug version of NewPipe on your phone.
  5. Select the NewPipe debug version in Chrome:

click on inspect

  1. In the Chrome DevTools, go to the "Network" tab
  2. Reproduce the problem
  3. In the Chrome DevTools, save the network traffic as HAR:

export HAR
