Release v0.19.2 Beta

[PrestonN]

This is a small release for now. Mostly fixes the issues that has recent occurred with the Local API. We have a very large release for everyone soon so I hope that everyone looks forward to it.

Fixes

• Updated Local API to the latest version of YouTube.js which fixes the recent API errors for both watching and searching for videos (Bump youtubei.js to 9.1.0 for watch page fix #4707)
• Fixed errors occasionally cropping up when subscriptions are refreshed on the Local API (Support YouTube using PageHeader on user channels not just auto-generated ones #4543)
• Fixes the channel about tab missing information on the Local API (Local API: Support extracting about information from YouTube's new about popup #4370)

Hi @rks1975 is the Local API set as your Primary API?

And

Is the toggle Proxy Through Invidious Disabled in the player settings?

[vdbhb59]

Videos are buffering a lot and pausing way too much. Any video above 720P on 2.4 is fine but on 5G is lagging. Weird.

[vdbhb59]

Hi. Yes for both.

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

On what system is this installed on?

[vdbhb59]

Windows 11 as of now. December build.

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

Then why did you mentioned 5G do you mean WIFI 5Ghz?

Or do you mean 5G in like the mobile network?

[vdbhb59]

Sorry should have mentioned clearly.
5G WiFi connection and 2.4G Wi-Fi connection.

Was having a lot of problems with Local API the last few days but this update (19.2) seems to to have cleared it up. Thanks!

How about apk version? NewPipe alternative? There was "cordova version" a lont time ago......

Check releases on https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeCordova

FreeTubeCordova is better than NewPipe? it's worth to test it on Android instead of NewPipe?

[vdbhb59]

Both are good with few changes. I use both and yes both are available and updated regularly.

[Backhage]

Cool cool cool. Will there be a new Snap made available for this release as well?

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

One thing I notice- I love freetube, but there is a problem. I use it on several PCs, all of my PCs use linux mint. I use the "suspend" feature frequently. I will set up a few videos to play, and then set the computer to auto suspend in a half hour say after I fall asleep. When I un-suspend the computer it's like Freetube needs to be re-loaded to realize it has internet again. If I don't do this, the videos will just play until the point where it loaded data and then it will just spin as if there is no connection. I can fix this by just clicking back and forward then again. It's not a big deal but still a minor pain. I have tested this behavior on several computers- and it seems to be consistent. Is this something you can help with?

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

There is an open issue for this but nothing you can do about this at the moment.
