but if Google's servers can't be reached, why using search? you can't finish the search request.

[InfinityLoop1308]

if you are using vpn just add suggestqueries.google.com to PROXY

[whistlingwoods]

@InfinityLoop1308 YouTube has removed the videoId from playlistItemData in music search
results, Can you confirm? coming from release notes of Simple Song Collector https://github.com/UpAllNite-Software/simple-song-collector/releases/tag/v1.0.29

[InfinityLoop1308]

@whistlingwoods seems it's still there. song searching also works fine.

Yes, it is working, thanks for all the hard maintenance work you are doing. I really wish some help from open source developers to this project or a thought process to get some kind of team behind to help as it is not a small project to maintain. Kudos for running at matching pace to youtube. You deserves a pat on the back from community by increasing donations and other appropriately helpful ways.

But there are some issues which deserve your kind attention:

1. Search in YouTube Music under filter songs , albums

App shows very low quality thumbnails, which are hardly visible (only when search is in YouTube Music with songs, albums filters, otherwise fine when done in YouTube Music Playlists filter or under YouTube filters)

2. App giving a lot of content unavailable on some streams these days (while they work fine in personal repo of newpipe as you can check build from actions here) e.g. can't play this song in v5.1.1: -
