Reported in #13289 and already fixed by #13290 on dev branch. Latest NewPipe nightly 1124 includes this fix and the same will be ported to refactor branch when dev is merged into refactor. Please keep an eye on PR section of the repo, let us keep this issue open untill that's done. Thank you for using refactor nightly builds and taking time to report the bug.

Question, how often is dev merged into refactor?

If there is typically a bit of time between dev merges, I wonder if it's worth considering fixing this within refactor separately seeing that it's a one line fix from what I can see in the aforementioned PR https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/13290/changes

I've fixed this on my fork of refactor since it was blocking me with other testing.

If maintainers are interested, I have created a PR against refactor fixing this if we don't want to wait for a dev merge. :)

I have tested this on my local device and it works out well!

[ShareASmile]

Closing as fixed by #13290 via merge from dev into refactor #13420.

Please update to current latest refactor-nightly-55 which fixes this issue.
