HTTP 403 Error.

[u/BoltedFlame]

Since September, NewPipe and PipePipe have been having an issue where they'll play a video for a bit and then abruptly stop and crash with the HTTP error notification. I've tried everything I could Such as switching off/on my VPN, restarting the router, restarting my phone, restarting the app, closing and reopening the app, etc. And still nothing worked, I switched to PipePipe for about a week and it had the HTTP issue but not nearly as severe as NewPipe. It was until a couple of days ago where I couldn't even watch a single video on either PipePipe or NewPipe without the error.

The devs are aware and they're working on a fix.

Try Freetube in the meantime. That still seems to work, and someone even made a mobile version of it:

thanks. I don't know about anyone else, but it doesn't seem to be happening to me anymore.

edit: nevermind it just happened again lol

{5 Days Late}  I've been having the same experience with PipePipe, it's like it stops for a while and then does it again. Almost as if the bug is slowing down.

Currently using Vanced, but I'll give this a try. Thanks. 🙂

This has been happening to me for a while. If you force stop the app in settings and then open it again it should work. But you have to do that every few videos which is annoying.

I have been getting this a lot of times. I hope that the new version of NewPipe would have this whole HTTP error problem situation fixed.

If we are supposed to download the video why would've we downloaded the app itself dude

[u/Fun-Lawfulness-4384 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah even the videos are not working and your suggestion is absolute trash also it's not about the goal it's about the app (youtube) and it's better free alternative

[u/Fun-Lawfulness-4384 → u/[deleted]]

Download works well in youtube itself you don't need any new app or youtube alternative for that if you are doing that you don't have enough braincell what goal dude It's the free alternative we need

[u/Kasilyn → u/Fun-Lawfulness-4384]

you can't download on youtube unless u pay for premium so yes u do actually need a new app/Newpipe. Negative's idea was actually not bad there's no need to bash them
