For me, the less-complicated client called "DVD" is more reliable for downloading than the client called "Newpipe"; the later stops working intermittently. YMMV. Neither are as reliable as using own custom command line programs on desktop, or mobile via Termux. If Google makes a change I can fix/workaround immediately. No waiting for app developers. For me, Newpipe works well as a Soundcloud client. From the Kotlin source for "dvd": Video downloader app powered by yt-dlp (formerly youtube-dl).
