NewPipe v0.27.0 No longer Working? [Update] (infosec.pub)

Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won't play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I've submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn't see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds.

Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!

Oh! That's good to hear. Honestly, that issue has kindof pissed me off enough at Rossmann specifically that I kindof quit watching his YouTube videos and stuff. So I very much haven't been following him or FUTO.

I wonder if the FUTO website still claims that they require all projects to be or have a plan to become specifically "Open Source".

Edit: Yup. They still say "All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so" on this page. Maybe that means that they intend for Grayjay to "develop a plan to eventually become" properly Open Source and not just "source first".
