This also happens in Newpipe for quite some time now on all my phones...also in their nightly builds, and this is the reason I started looking for a Newpipe alternative and ended up here (that and semi-frequent app crashes--not to mention updates are few and far between) ...actually, it doesn't happen in their nightly builds, just crashes, sorry about that

Getting the same error for quite some time now (I guess as everybody else who upvoted). In my case, it always appears when opening a video from another app in popup mode and then switching to full screen to see comments.

This is a well-known issue in vanilla NewPipe. This will not be fixed until the NewPipe devs publish a fix.

FYI the fix seems to have been merged into NewPipe about an hour ago: TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1163
