>but 75% of the time it fails to play the video

I would quibble with that. It's really all or nothing. Youtube changes something, NewPipe breaks entirely. Then NewPipe is updated, and it works perfectly again.

I like NewPipe, but in practice this means you just have to accept that there will be stretches, a few days or a week long, where it just doesn't work at all.

Actually, that's the funny thing. I noticed that I could find videos that work, while others didn't.

i think monotised videos die easier than non-monotised ones. leave it long enough and they all die.

Monetized* or monetised for those with a British bent.

Unless you're talking aboit videos that had stereo audio that have been converted to mono. (;
