- [YouTube] Fix extraction of videos in channels and in feeds when not using dedicated mode (RSS feeds) TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#944

⚠️ **Due to the separation of shorts and livestreams (including VODs) of most channels into separate tabs, these contents will be not available until channel tabs support is added.**

However, you can use workarounds until this support is added:

- For feeds, use the dedicated method to fetch channels (a.k.a. RSS feeds);
- For channels: you can use the uploads playlist of a channel to get all its public videos: take a channel ID (**not a username or a handle**), replace `UC` by `UU` at the beginning of the ID and use the resulting ID as a playlist ID (append this ID to a playlist URL like `https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=` and then open this URL in NewPipe). These playlists may be not available on some YouTube "system" channels.
- [YouTube] Fix 403 HTTP errors when playing sometimes videos in some countries by using a workaround TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#960

⚠️ The workaround **can break at any time**. If you see this error again, and you have the ability to block network requests to specific domains for apps on your device, you can block the `youtubei.googleapis.com` domain to work around this issue.

However, this has a few downsides:
- the 720p video stream with audio (used for external players) will be not available on musical contents;
- the 48kbps M4A audio stream and the 144p 3GPP video stream will be not available;
- the rewind duration of livestreams will be limited to 30 seconds at most, instead of 1 hour.

- [YouTube] Fix extraction of author and video count of playlists with their new metadata format TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#958

⚠️ With the new metadata format, **no author thumbnail is returned anymore**.
- [SoundCloud] Fix tracks in incorrect order on playlists TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#939
- [SoundCloud] Fix getting more comments TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#943
