Generate Additional Debugging Info

The developers sometimes need additional info about your problem, because they cannot reproduce it. This happens for example when a problem is restricted to certain countries or network / proxy settings causing the devs to get different responses from e.g. YouTube's servers than you.

You'll be asked by a developer to generate additional info and send it to a dev's email address. Please do not post the additional info on GitHub, because it might contain sensitive information about your NewPipe usage.

Generate a HAR

A HAR contains the network traffic you caused while using NewPipe. This information is not logged when using the normal NewPipe version. To get this info, you'll need to install a debugging version of NewPipe. When asking you to generate a HAR, the dev should provide you a debugging version. If this is not the case, don't hesitate to ask for one!

  1. Enable USB debugging.
  2. Connect your phone to your PC through USB
  3. Open Chrome, type chrome://inspect into the address bar
  4. Open that debug version of NewPipe on your phone.
  5. Select the NewPipe debug version in Chrome:

click on inspect

  1. In the Chrome DevTools, go to the "Network" tab
  2. Reproduce the problem
  3. In the Chrome DevTools, save the network traffic as HAR:

export HAR
