Affected version

0.27.7

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Download a video, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtPGnVnA9g&t=42s&pp=ygUIaHV4biBkc2E%3D in 1080p or 1440p(whatever higher quality available) webm.
2. then I move it to my desktop (voidlinux) via LocalSend.
3. I play the video in mpv.

Expected behavior

Downloaded videos should play normal, whatever length or size, whatever resolution they are. Without any lags, without any warnings or error messages.

Actual behavior

When I play the video in mpv, the window frame gets loaded and destroyed within a second.
I tried playing the same video in vlc, kmp (smartphone) and using mpv --demuxer=lavf <filename.webm>.
The video lags while seeking forward/backwards, changing playback speed.
The progress-bar always shows like video is almost finished. When I seek backward/forward, the progress-bar is already like it reached 96% length of actual video length (consider linked video, ~7hrs long), it reflects by moving left/right. The current timestamp is correct, but total length is like -00:00:01.

I downloaded 10s of such longer length youtube videos and a few slightly short ones. I observed most of the videos that shows this error/issue are the ones longer in length (more speficially heavy in size).
I'm using NewPipe for ~1.5yrs now and this behavior never shown up.
Please look into it, it's cause me inconvenience.
I tried downloading videos multiple times: in non-stable internet, in stable-fast internet conditions.
If there's some issue from my side, I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.

I confirm there's something wrong from NewPipe's side. If it's still some issue found from my side, I'm sorry guys.
So, one of the videos I downloaded using Newpipe is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMeD8trbj6A&pp=ygUOYm9vdGRvdGRldiBkc2HSBwkJjQkBhyohjO8%3D and it shows the same effect/error.
But now I downloaded it using yt-dlp command (can see in linked video clip) and I can play this one without any cmdline flags/switches like --demuxer=lavf.

What about downloading the same file in MP4 format and retrying?

Would you also tell in comments here, How much free storage do you have on your phone?

Was just looking in here if someone else had the same problem as i do and it seems so.
Since 0.27.7 the downloaded files are corrupted. Videos stop somewhere after a few minutes. Tested in VLC on phone and on Kodi TV. Tried different quality options of same video, same problem.
Videos are mp4 and my phone has plenty of free storage left (>190gb)
