@newpipe It would be really nice if when the app fails to update one or more channels from ones subscription list that it would be possible to see which channels failed. (mastodon.social)

@newpipe It would be really nice if when the app fails to update one or more channels from ones subscription list that it would be possible to see which channels failed. I currently have two out of well over a hundred that never manages to update but I have no idea which ones from my list it is.

This feature request is tracked on GitHub here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7201

@LIE Okay, good. I am not a GH user though, the place is pretty confusing for me honestly. Tough it seems to be a request put forth in 2021, which is quite a while back by now.

I am not a GH user though, the place is pretty confusing for me honestly.

That's understandable. I just wanted to share it as a reference.

This comment from one of the developers suggests that it's seemingly only a problem with channels that have shorts, so you can use that as a starting point to find out what channels are failing to update.

I should note that this will likely not be a problem anymore once v0.26.0 releases with support for channel tabs, which should allow it to handle shorts properly. This is likely the reason that the feature request hasn't really been prioritized.

@LIE That is good, though I don't watch any shorts content/channels so I am not sure that is what it is.

I don't mean to doubt you, but are you sure that none of your 100+ subscribed channels have ever uploaded a short? Note that shorts aren't currently visible in NewPipe. You are of course correct that it could be caused by a different reason that is currently not known, though. If that's the case, it's usually a good idea to write a comment on the GitHub issue, but I understand that you might not want to do that.

I do think it's weird that this feature hasn't been added yet, though, as it seems pretty simple to implement. I'd write it myself, but NewPipe doesn't accept contributions for new features at the moment, which is kind of annoying.
