YouTube, for example, has a dedicated feed which was built to be used
like this. It comes with some caveats though, like lacking enough
information about the items and returning a limited amount of them.
Nonetheless, a nice option for users that like speedy updates but don't
mind this issue.
Now only the subscriptions from the selected group by the user will be
loaded.
Also add an option to decide how much time have to pass since the last
refresh before the subscription is deemed as not up to date. This helps
when a subscription appear in multiple groups, since updating in one
will not require to be fetched again in the others.
- Introduce Groupie for easier lists implementations
- Use some of the new components of the Android Architecture libraries
- Add a bunch of icons for groups, using vectors, which still is
compatible with older APIs through the compatibility layer
With the extractor PR, fixes title & description shown in the wrong language.
Fixed views / spectators counts possibly in the wrong language
Fixed live spectators not showing full count on detail page
Fixed LIVE shown on players, it shows translated instead
Fixed Videos string in search / three dots not available in Weblate
(because it was videos, but there already was a plural string named videos, in Weblate)
Subscriber count is always giving the short count.
We can't get exact number since this YouTube update: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/6543166
But only short count (B, M, k), so showing full number, eg for 1.9M: 1,900,000, is wrong because the number could be 1,923,490 or 1,897,789…
Added a « sytem default » option to content language and country language selector.
It's the one selected by default (not en-GB anymore then), and correspond to the
language of the system / country of the system
By system I mean phone, tablet, TV…
Fixed russian showing - before time ago (eg 19hrs ago)
This is a workaround fix, I opened an issue on prettytime library repo.
Fixed russian plurals:
other was used instead of many for videos and subscribers
Fixed seek_duration english only
renamed NewPipe's language into App language, and same for all the
concerning thing (keys, comments…)
we now call assureCorrectAppLanguage(CONTEXT) in activities needing it
instead of changeAppLanguage(getAppLocale(CONTEXT), RESOURCES)
changeAppLanguage becomes private.
- added autoplay options inside settings: always, only on wifi, never
- now statusbar will be shown in fullscreen mode
- playlists, channels can be autoplayed too (if enabled)
- changed title of background activity to Play queue
- fixed a crash
* migrate few annotations to androidx
* mission recovery: better error handling (except StreamExtractor.getErrorMessage() method always returns an error)

[file specific changes]
DownloadMission.java
* remove redundant/boilerplate code (again)
* make few variables volatile
* better file "length" approximation

* remove not implemented method "notifyUserPendingDownloads()" also his unused strings
DownloadManagerService.java

* DownloadRunnableFallback: add workaround for 32kB/s issue, unknown issue origin, wont fix
* reporting downloads errors now include the source url with the selected quality and format
Before, the direct value was given to the user, now it uses the parsed
date so we can match the device's language.
To get the relative time from the parsed dates, we use the PrettyTime
library.
Also introduces a debug option to check the service's original value.
* use Java I/O (classic way) on older android versions
* use Storage Access Framework on newer android versions (Android Lollipop or later)

-Added step size selector to playback speed control.

** Make methods private/protected to help understand what was in use
** The code now chooses one format over an other using a simple raking system defined in array constants. I realized I needed to do this in order to choose the most efficient video stream.
