still happens occasionally, but I'm assuming it's for the same reason as #2330 so, no big deal

I can confirm that this still happens with some YouTube playlists. Not sure what is special about such playlists which appear empty.

If I open such a playlist in browser or even in NewPipe, I can see all the videos but the same playlist fails to load in PipePipe. An example of such a playlist that I recently came across is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK8cqdr55Tsv-D2HMdrnD32oOVBNvmxjr

More such playlists which open fine in browser and YouTube app but show as empty ("No videos") in PipePipe:

I have also noticed that playlists which are not opening one day may randomly start opening without problems on some other day and vice-versa.

Here is a screenshot of one such "No videos" playlist:

This one is opening for me.

The issue is still there. I have mentioned it already in my earlier posts here. Was not sure how one is supposed to reopen an issue. So, in addition to reporting, I am also replying to your message. 🙃

Used to happen to me too but now it's a bit too common

re-open?

Every playlist I open shows "no videos" message. Has been like that for weeks for me.
