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...

Your title is very confusing. I recommend checking it next time before posting

This is a post from Mastodon, where you can't give post a title, so Lemmy automatically creates it from the post body.

> Lemmy automatically creates it from the post body

I'll try to remember that time I @mention a Lemmy group, but is it possible for a mod in a Lemmy community to change the title as it appears there, so it makes sense?

I don't think so. You could try to edit your post, that the title for lemmy is in the first line ended by a newline (enter), and the body is in the next lines.

Done. Did this work?

[–] LambdaRX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, title is correct now.
