Same here. It seems compatible with NewPipe's import/export so it's easy enough to jump over with subscriptions and settings intact while it isn't working. Tubular which is also forked from NewPipe had an update earlier but the connection error remains on it for now.

Just moved over to PipePipe-X today and really liking it. Player is much smoother, especially transitioning from PiP to full screen and back.

Only saw pipe pipe yesterday when looking for alternatives to NewPipe that might work, what does it bring that's better?

I haven't dug into it deeply so I'm sure there is more in the backend too, but on the visual side it's gotten a slightly modernized redesign and support for Material You. But from a user perspective one thing I've noticed is the actual video player seems significantly smoother and particularly switching between picture-in-picture and fullscreen and back seems a lot smoother (which I do a lot).

Overall it's just like PipePipe but better. As someone who's been using PipePipe for a long time there's really no reason not to go straight to PipePipe-X. You should be able to import your user settings and history straight from NewPipe too.

Did you get it direct from the apk or via fdroid? I can only see original pipepipe

I downloaded the apk from GitHub.
