Affected version

0.24.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. open the app..
2. watch any video..
3. New pipe will either crash while watching that video or while watching the next video

Best way to try and replicate it is changing between videos. After a bit, an OS level pop-up shows up showing that the application is not responding, even though it still is.

I have cleared the cache, same behavour. Going back to NewPipe 0.23.3 for the time being.

Expected behavior

No response

Actual behavior

No response

@opusforlife2

thank you for looking into this.

For future reference, you can use sub-strings from the first line of the crash log to better search for duplicates, such as "Context.startForegroundService() did not then call" in your case.
