Accessing the player queue via notification when the player is in the background opens the correct view, but nothing is enqueued/the player is not accessible.

[Orion983]

Ooh nice! Finally i can use mixes! When is the full release of this version?

[Orion983]

And my youtube chapters/segnests! Thanks for adding my idea!

[XiangRongLin]

@TobiGr You need to replace the extractor links. They are currently pointing to this repo

[TobiGr]

The problem described by @Poolitzer was caused by e602146. @Isira-Seneviratne Do you have time for fixing this?

@XiangRongLin Fixed.

[Isira-Seneviratne]

The problem described by @Poolitzer was caused by e602146. @Isira-Seneviratne Do you have time for fixing this?

@XiangRongLin Fixed.

I'll do it in a few hours.

I'm not sure what's causing the issue, since I made sure to keep the logic the same.

@Stypox did you come across this issue?

[Stypox]

@Isira-Seneviratne I could reproduce, but didn't come across this issue while testing

@agravier that's caused by the interactions of multiple NewPipes and is not related to this release

[vkay94]

I'm not sure what's causing the issue, since I made sure to keep the logic the same.

Yeah, that's pretty strange, especially the fact that the layout is showing correctly for a moment and disappears again ...

[TobiGr]

NewPipe_v0.20.7_RC2.zip contains:

• translation updates
• stream and search meta info (public broadcasters and Covid-19)
• ktlint update

[Isira-Seneviratne]

@Stypox I fixed the issue.

[TobiGr]

NewPipe_v0.20.7_RC3.zip contains @Isira-Seneviratne's fix for the empty play queue

[B0pol]

@Isira-Seneviratne I could reproduce, but didn't come across this issue while testing

@agravier that's caused by the interactions of multiple NewPipes and is not related to this release

and is fixed by #5221, hopefully in the next update

[TobiGr]

NewPipe_v0.20.7_RC4.zip fixes media.ccc.de's service color and adds Somali to the app language chooser.

The changelog for this release is ready to be translated on weblate: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/newpipe/metadata/
