What is/are your question(s)?

Does anyone else have this error message when opening a video on newpipe's youtube? "Could not parse website"

Additional information

It seems to happen to all videos i tried to open/download

[JustStayingPositive]

if it gives a report button, click it, and see if the first line says "sign in to YouTube to confirm you're not a bot." you might have to scroll sideways to see it

Thanks for your reply. I tried what you said, but it doesnt give the "sign in to youtube", only report on email or github. Gives the following report:

Sorted my problem, updated the Newpipe app in windows to version 27.6 now working OK

[YunaPabo]

I'm answering myself here, but i thought maybe it'll help others if you have the same problem. I updated mine to the 0.27.6 version and it seems to help.
