[Known Issue]: Subscriptions feed missing lots of videos; Videos and Live tabs on channels not working #341
Description
Subscriptions feed missing lots of videos; Videos and Live tabs on channels not working
This is just to let people here know there are two issues currently occurring for YouTube:
- If you do Subscriptions > All > Refresh lots of videos will be missing from the feed
- If you go to a specific channel, the "Videos" and "Live" tabs don't load; you get an endless "loading" spinner
This issue is being discussed here, on the parent NewPipe project:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/13512
Be aware that if the fix were to require an update for the NewPipe app being pushed out, then Tubular is
likely to remain broken, given it isn't updated very-often. If it's an extractor issue (the bit that is between
the app and YouTube itself), then Tubular should also start working again after their fix 🤞🏻

Same Issue Here (New Pipe also seems having that Issue)
dlcarrier commentedon May 21, 2026
Here's a workaround:
From the settings menu, select 'Content', then scroll down to and enable the second-to-last-option 'Fetch from dedicated feed when available'.
This will switch from scraping the the web feed to the RSS parser. It provides less information, so after updating, you'll need to switch the setting back off, to return to the full feature set.

That same Issue is present in NewPipe and its fork,
so Grayjay too!Edit: Grayjay fixed that in some update, I just had to update the youtube plugin.

It's worth-noting that for @dlcarrier 's workaround, you can also perform it in a slightly-easier way:
In the YouTube > Subscriptions > All screen (the feed list), just tap the (?) icon in the top-right, then tap "Enable fast mode"

It's fixed in Newpipe 0.28.7

TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1492
Extractor is updated
dftf-stu commentedon May 25, 2026
So... as an update, it's a bit-unclear where things stand.
NewPipe 0.28.7 was supposed to resolve the recent YouTube issues, but, if you use "slow mode" (or have "fetch from dedicated feed when available" disabled) then users are reporting that:
The workaround is to "Enable Fast Mode" (tap the (?) icon in the top-right of the YouTube feed), or go to Settings > Content and set "Fetch from dedicated feed when available" to on. (Confusingly, both of them do the same thing!)
"Fast Mode" / "Dedicated feed" though won't show how-long videos are in the feed; you'll see Shorts mixed-in with Videos within the feed; and some data, such-as likes/dislikes, comments or timestamps, might not always get downloaded for every video.
The following issues remain, even with the "Fast Mode" workaround:

Oddly, in PipePipe (another "fork" of NewPipe, like Tubular), none of these NewPipe and Tubular issues are present:
You will still need to enable the "Fetch from dedicated feed" setting to avoid some of those issues, and for people who
rely on the YouTube auto-dub feature that still seems broken (only English played on videos I know offer other language
dubs), but otherwise it seems far-less broken than Tubular and NewPipe currently are, so maybe worth a try...?

The 2 workarounds don't work for me.
dftf-stu commentedon Jun 3, 2026
@borg17a : please refer to the latest post "I'd recommend people switch to PipePipe"
In short: switch to PipePipe, as virtually everything there is working (unlike Tubular and NewPipe). You can export all your current subs, playlists and history from Tubular, and import them all into PipePipe: see the second comment there for how to do that
You can download PipePipe either manually (the APK file) here, or if you prefer the F-Droid store, it's on there also

ℹ Update: as of the 0.28.8 update for NewPipe, all of these issues are now fixed.
However, they won't be in Tubular unless the developer were to return, and import their new code with the fixes. 🤞🏻
NewPipe doesn't have the 👎🏻Dislikes or 🛡SponsorBlock features, so anyone who likes them should look into BravePipe, LibreTube or PipePipe in the meantime. Just be warned that moving-back to Tubular in future could be tricky if you want to export everything (all your subs, playlists, history, watch-times and channel-groups) as some of those apps might use a different format Tubular cannot import. If you only care about your subs and nothing else though, you should be fine importing them back into Tubular later.
