The issue you are reporting is actually a duplicate of an existing issue.

Check these lines from the logs

ForegroundServiceDidNotStartInTimeException: Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground(): ServiceRecord{ea3f875 u0 org.schabi.newpipe/.player.PlayerService c:org.schabi.newpipe}

Please search (better, with different keywords, particularly take these from first line of the error report or line after "caused by") for duplicates the next time you want to open an issue, thank you.
