This hotfix release fixes various YouTube issues:
IOS player response is not validwhich prevented any video from loading #11980 TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1272- HTTP 403 errors while playing videos (usually at minute 1:09) #11803 TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1272
- Missing video streams at 720p 24-30FPS #11486 TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1272
- A few age restricted videos are now playable again #11382 TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1272 (but only a few, since there is no known reliable method to extract them)
Warning
YouTube requests now require to run and pass Google's web browsers integrity checks, which NewPipe performs through the system WebView. Therefore, if your device does not have a working WebView implementation, NewPipe will have to fallback to other video extraction methods which might incur in HTTP 403 errors when playing.
