Download bug on the latest NewPipe (v0.16.1)

I found a non-reported bug on the latest NewPipe (v0.16.1). Downloads with a resolution above 360p are not complete because the NewPipe app stops suddenly "Unfortunately, NewPipe has stopped". Downloads show error messages (queued or paused). Such video files have a title but no poster image. If you try to run the downloaded video an empty screen pops up. Surprisingly, forwarding it to minute 04:46 retrieves sound and image. Then on the following day if you download another identical video it warns "There is a download in progress with that name". Your option is to "Generate a unique name". Then it resumes downloading the previous file from yesterday and you finally get it. I could get only two full downloads with a resolution above 360p. Find attached 10 screenshots.

NOTE - Downloads at 360p and 720p are fine. However, they fail at 480p and 1080p.

Unfortunately, nor ESTAR nor TAKEE are reported by the Data Explorer of the database Device Atlas.

However, I found the diffusion maps on web browsing by SuperD C1001 (SuperD D1), PPTV King 7s and ZTE Axon 7.

Invidious API has top notch performance in YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Mail, YouKu and network URLs. It has passed with flying colours all tests by [MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION] on FreeTube and Invidious website (there is an app too in GitHub).

NewPipe (v0.16.1) for Android is very good but has a download bug (it will be fixed soon). The web-scraping tool is called the NewPipe-Extractor and is a stand-alone project. It is also used in the free and open-source app SkyTube. The Extractor supports both YouTube and SoundCloud, and there are plans to extend it to more platforms. You must check its performance on YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Mail, YouKu and network URLs.

Have you done these tests [MENTION=6026343]io2345[/MENTION]? A report on SkyTube is welcome too!

Therefore, three open-source candidates (Invidious, FreeTube and NewPipe) have been approved for donating parts to 3D Video (by Mich-C) player app.

Which one are you picking first? Invidious API is polyvalent and NewPipe-Extractor has a more limited scope. It only supports YouTube and SoundCloud at the moment. However, I have read several suggestions in GitHub to incorporate Invidious API into NewPipe.
