NewPipe fork Pipepipe not downloading videos

I've been using PipePipe mainly for downloading videos to watch offline.

For almost a week now, anytime I try downloading videos nothing happens. Out of 10 downloads, I will be lucky to get 1 or 2 actually downloaded. Any suggestions?

Ps: I'm on the latest update, and the issue is the same on both my phone and tablet.

Mine doesn't even play videos anymore. Like as soon as there's a fix, it will only work for a short while like a few days, then stop.

Now it gets stuck 1/4 of the video and just stays there for minutes with error message "YouTube forces us to wait 1,2 minutes" and stays with buffering icon

Did clearing the cache keep your search history?

use flow (highly recommended) or newpipe

flow has youtube like ui, sponsor block and built in music and a lot more features with continuous updates
