Google changes some things in YouTube's webinterface --> NewPipe can't play YouTube videos anymore (previous version works though). 2. The NewPipe team soon releases an update that fixes the problem. 3. F-Droid buildserver is not fully stable at this point so builds are only running ~ every 2 days. -4. First build of NewPipe fails with a Github internal server error. (Great!) +4. First build of NewPipe fails with a GitHub internal server error. (Great!) 5. At this point Google somehow pushes a license change to the Android SDK repositories (adding some [GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) stuff), but as the license hash is checked programmatically by the SDK tools, this breaks all CI pipelines that install Android SDK components. It also breaks most builds in F-Droid, including the next build of NewPipe. (Great, again!) 6. I'm trying to figure out what we need to change in our buildserver setup scripts to make it work again. Apparently solutions which other projects have found are not working for us as we are forced to use an older sdk-tools revision. 7. After almost a day of rebuilding F-Droid buildservers without success, everything magically starts working again without us changing anything. (So Google reverted their change?).
