Affected version

0.25.2

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Go into a playlists where any video was deleted from youtube
2. the player tab opens, giving the name of the video and the message - content not available -
3. You can still read the original video title but it can't be copied to the clipboard

Expected behavior

When the name still exists it should be possible to extract the videos name still 1:1 to the clipboard.

Actual behavior

long pressing on a videos title that was deleted from youtube does not result in that the video title gets copied to the clipboard, nothing happens.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Logs

since Newpipe doesn't crash I can't provide any logs

Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Android 11

Affected device model

Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019)

Additional information

I'm just asking to make this function work since it should be simple I guess and the video titles that are the issue here are also in part with Japanese kanji etc.
if it's not too much work, I would be happy if video titles could be pasted to the clipboard like with regular still existing videos to search for if the videos still exist even if outside of YT. Otherwise the only way I could think of is sitting with another phone and letting OCR run over each video title to have a chance to find it again.

best regards :)

I'd like to argue it's a bug if it works for still existing videos but not for deleted ones?

A bug is a problem in the code. You're asking for an additional effort to be put in in order to add extra functionality that wasn't present before.

[Plugdemholes-Imeanpatchdembugs]

but isn't the code already existing if it works for every still existing video ?.?

[SameenAhnaf]

Well, no. Newpipe does not remember YouTube playlist video titles once you exit the app. It needs to be reloaded each time a YouTube playlist is open.

However, you are suggesting a new way for the app to work which was not intended. That's why, it's a feature request.

but I can already copy video titles from playlists to the clipboard, this already works only for non-existing videos it's not working even though I still get shown the video title. Should I upload a video to illustrate?

[opusforlife2]

The devs didn't go "we'll allow copying titles except for this very specific case haha screw the users" and then modify the code to prevent you from copying the title. Nor did it happen accidentally, where they intended to have it work for deleted videos but it doesn't.

The ability to copy titles was added as a feature. The way this works is that it extracts this info from loaded video details. You're asking for it to be enabled in the case where video details aren't available because the video is deleted. This means adding extra code in order to accommodate your use case. This is the definition of a feature request.

In that case, maybe I'll close this issue then.
I don't think it will benefit many people, the export possibility of playlists would bnefit more people.
I hoped it was just a piece of code that was broken. :(

It is quite a niche use case. But there's no harm in leaving it open.
