Yeah, I would recommend not signing in from your google and I might be paranoid, but I disable play protect. I've heard stories of accounts being banned for using newpipe, but they may just be stories with no basis behind it.

I take it you're not familiar with youtube-dl?

That’s not live playback, and I think it’s a scraper rather than using the API.

Newpipe does not use Youtube APIs.

Ytdl is use by other programs as a backend and can so indirectly support streaming rather than downloading; ex. if you have both installed, you can `mpv $YT_URL` and it'll work.

NewPipe doesn't use the API, it scrapes everything from the website. And it includes its own youtube-dl-like library.

Yes, it has live playback with mpv and you can even use it on Livestreams.
