Solutions

Workaround

For the moment, I reproduce the videos from browser, but NewPipe go to youtube browser with the corresponding trackers...

Possible fixes

The appstore could allow add the custom repositories of the apps as F-droid, if a user want have the last updates from NewPipe for example or Bromite browser. The update channel of NewPipe in F-Droid is very slow and leave NewPipe inavailable by long time...
