Please See comment above ^^

we have a new issue already open on our NewPipe repo & a PR open to fix it. So have a breather folks.

..& please avoid commenting in haste without checking issue tracker first, specially the pinned ones, they are at the forefront of the issue tracker, not easy to ignore, but try not to.. next time. Thank you.
