BandCamp not working in NewPipe/ PipePipe

New versions of NewPipe and PipePipe deployed by @fdroid over the last couple of days have restored their ability to play YouTub videos, which is great. But they no longer seem to be able to play music from BandCamp, at least in the background player. Is this is known bug (or user error), or is it worth contacting them to report it?

Not only those, it was google removing support for extractors, knowing that would affect frontends, particularly yt-dlp, and of course they had to react. BTW, libretube, what I prefer from f-droid was also affected. See this yt-dlp issue which was already fixed with a commit and the immediate release they provided. I grabbed the yt-dlp fix on artix Today and the libretube fix on f-droid Today as well.

I believe all frontends got affected (attacked?) in pretty similar ways...
