Affected Android/Custom ROM version

Vanilla Android 9

Affected device model

Motorola Moto G6 Plus XT1926-8

Additional information

If the problem is somehow text encoding (UTF-8, etc), note my main language is pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese)

[dustdfg]

I confirm that minecraft and lego man search reliably produces error but not every search gives this error. It's probably related to extractor?

[AudricV]

For YouTube, this has been already fixed by TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor#1397.

You say it happens on all services, can you provide an error report for other services too?

This issue has been automatically closed because there has been no response to our request for more information from the original author. With only the information that is currently in the issue, we don't have enough information to take action. Please reach out if you have or find the answers we need so that we can investigate further.

[ShareASmile]

As AudricV noted, this bug is only YouTube specific, not related to other services as OP wrongly claims, hence applying YouTube label and linking it to TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1333 which have been fixed by TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/pull/1397.
