Im not a pro user who knows much about bug report and etc.

A problem.

As I close every app as "kill foreground app", whenever I try to open a utube video with newpipe again, the video doesnt come the first time. the forst attempt, the app shows up on the default page, what ever it is, then u have to click on the link again to see the video in newpipe.
I checked this with official app and its not like this.
Can u fix this that even if the app is closed from the base, when it opens with a link, to go directly to the link and not to the main page?

I play videos, By searching a video in google and clicking on a vid coming up in search results. Then it asks me to open woth chrome or newpipe, I choose newpipe.

This way, first the app starts without showing the content I want and I have to click on the link again and it shows the vid as the app has started now.
This bothers a little.

Another thing is that the videos dont load sometimes and the rest of the time, load slower than other apps.

But still, its better than vanced or snaptube or original app. thanks.

My device is s10+ android 10.
But had the same issue with note 4 android 6.

So I believe its not related to device or android version

You should read the contribution guidelines and check whether the issue already exists before opening one.

Anyway, thank you for opening a detailed issue ;-)

You welcome mate.
Its been a year that Ive been waiting for an update which fixes this.
As saw no results, thought maybe its better to post it here.

Will u try to fix it? :)

[Stypox]

Could you provide the device model and OS?
Also, since I can't reproduce this it would be useful if you intercepted the "open" intent using "Intent Intercept": https://f-droid.org/app/de.k3b.android.intentintercept

[aaazv]

I did, on the second msg

[Stypox]

@aaazv could you provide the intent content from the app?

[aaazv]

Alright.
Ive installed the app that u gave me the link of it.
Now how to do what u ask for?

[Stypox]

Open the urls you wanted to open in newpipe and send them to that app instead, it should provide you some information

Have I done it right?
Im not sure if I have explained well what I exactly meant by reporting this bug.

Can u tell me if it was clear or not?

[Uploading 20200224_071244.mp4…](In this video, I've tried two times to open newpipe right after killing it from the base to show u what I mean.The third time, didnt kill the app. so as it was open, it loaded the video.

This doesnt happen with youtube original app and even if I kill the app from base, it loads the video correctly

[gkeegan]

Your video doesn't seem like it finished uploading btw.

[aaazv]

@Stypox

Will this be fixed in the next update pls?

[Stypox]

@aaazv I will try my best to fix this, but I can't reproduce as of now. Does something different happen if you change Settings -> Video & audio -> Preferred 'open' action to Always ask?

[aaazv]

Tried, no changes in the behavior.

[Stypox]

Strange. If I understand correctly, by "Tried, no changes in the behavior." you mean that now the first time you open the link the app opens on the main page, and only on the second time it open the dialog for choosing an action.
I'm sorry, but I can't help. Unfortunately this does not happen on my end and the Intent you sent seems to be all good... This might be device-specific, even if it does happen on two of your devices.

But had the same issue with note 4 android 6.

Are you completely sure this does happen with 0.18.4 and Android 6? Because this could as well be an Android 10 bug, otherwise.

[opusforlife2]

@aaazv Can you test if this still happens on 0.20.0?

[aaazv]

@opusforlife2 had unistalled the app but installed again to check if this bug is solved.
It doesnt work still.

Look. Im rooted ok? Ive made my back button to kill the app from background and foreground when I hold it. So when Im going to freshly open newpipe to watch a clicked link of youtube, what happens is that it goes to the main page of newpipe first. doesnt take me to the video that I clicked on its link so I have to click on the link twice in total to be able to watch the video on newpipe when newpipe wasnt running on background. While vanced isnt like this, original app isnt like this. whether I kill them from base, they open the video I want directly. easy.

[opusforlife2]

Wow, you don't need to bring out the big guns with the thumbs down and all, I'm just pruning old issues here. XD

[aaazv]

Ithought I cant answer u as u closed the topic and wanred to answer u with a thumb down as a no to ur question. lol sorry

[Stypox]

@aaazv can you test if this APK (from #9135) fixes the issue?
